• Notes

  Unless there were several children who died in infancy, the long interval between the birth of John Lawrence’s son John and those of his other children is best explained by supposing the preacher had two wives. The postulated birth dates for the children are deduced from their marriages and/or the spans of their children’s baptisms. [1]
