Marriage notes:
"Explicit evidence has not been found proving that the Thomas Lawrence who was the son of John and Elizabeth (Bull) Lawrence was identical with the Thomas Lawrence who married Joan Antrobus in 1609 and who was certainly the father of the immigrants. John and Elizabeth's son was certainly living in 1610 when he was mentioned in his father's estate records, and considerable search has revealed no other Thomas Lawrence in St. Albans and vicinity who could have married Joan Antrobus.
Thomas Lawrence died intestate. On 21 March 1624-5, administration on the goods of Thomas Lawrence of St. Albans was granted to Joan Lawrence, his relict. The final sheet of her accounting, presented in 1627, lists his children as John, Thomas, William, Jane, and Marye."
