The Lawrence family has deep roots in England and has been
researched and written about by many genealogists. I am descended of two children of Thomas
Lawrence (1589 – 1625) who never came to the New World, but his wife, Joan
Antrobus, remarried to John Tuttle (1596 – 1656) and brought her six Lawrence
children and Tuttle children (of whom I descend from one- Simon Tuttle (1637 –
1691) ), to Massachusetts.
And so, although Thomas Lawrence never came to the New
World, his children were here and left Lawrence descendants. He died intestate and on 21 March 1624/25,
his widow, Joan, was made administratrix of his property. Her accounting, in 1627, names his children,
John, Thomas, William, Jane and Marye.
He was the son of John Lawrence (1561 – 1609) and Elizabeth Bull, and he
was mentioned in his father’s estate
documents in St. Albans, Herfordshire, England.
Joan Antrobus (about 1592 – 1661) was the daughter of Walter
Anterbus and Joan Arnold of St. Albans.
Joan was 65 years old when she immigrated with her daughter, Joan
Antrobus Tuttle, in 1635 onboard the Planter
with her son-in-law John Tuttle, and her Lawrence and Tuttle
grandchildren. I have deep admiration
for these two Joans, who came aboard this ship to the New World and cared for
all these children on the passage across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Planter, with
this big extended family of Lawrences and Tuttles, arrived at Boston,
Massachusetts on 7 June 1635. They
settled at Ipswich, Massachusetts. John
Tuttle returned to England and later died at Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland on
30 December 1656. Joan (Antrobus)
(Lawrence) Tuttle was in Northern Ireland in 1659 and is believed to have died there
after 29 January 1661.

Not only am I descended of three of Joan’s children, but my
two lineages from her two Lawrence children are quite complicated, with much
intermarriage. I hope you can follow
along!
