      L. Everett, Esq., of 227 South Sixth St., Philadelphia, PA., wrote, in 1892:

      "I am writing a little book on Lawrence, Hartshorne Stout, with photos of their signatures," etc.
      His grandfather, Hartshorne Lawrence, was born on the site of the old maid Hartshorne's house, or within a few hundred yards of it; i.e. Hartshorne Lawrence, his grandfather.
      "All of our family of Lawrence lived in Pleasant Valley, my grandfather, Hartshorne Lawrence, having been born there. I do not suppose there is any one who has more documentary evidence about these 'old folks' than I have. My people in Brooklyn & New York have the old Family Bibles. I will soon have my man among certain Hartshornes, who have many relics of the family. They are pretty well scattered, but the most important are at Newark. The little book I am getting up, I want to illustrate with portraits & places."

A general view of the town of Dartmouth as it appeared at this period is here given. It is impossible, however, to identify most of the buildings, which were merely whalers' dwellings. Dartmouth was first settled in 1750. On 2nd March, 1786, the old town lots were escheated, the town replanned & granted to twenty families of Quaker whalers from Nantucket. They resided there until about 1792, when most of them moved to Milford. 1, Main centre of present town. 2, Old grist mill in Dartmouth Cove.
