Thomas Lawrence was believed to be the son of John Lawrence and Elizabeth Bull or Margaret Robertes. He was Chief Burgess of St.Albans.
Thomas Lawrence of St. Albans, Herforshire, England (if he truly was the son of Elizabeth Bull) was a descendant of Louis IV, King of France. He was immigrant ancestor of Franklin D. Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Gary Boyd Roberts: Ancestors of American Presidents
Joan Antrobus emigrated to the American colonies in June of 1635 on the ship the Planter.
Her parents were Walter Antrobus and Joan Arnold. She arrived in America as Mrs. Joan Tuttle, but she brought with her three children from her earlier marriage to Thomas Lawrence. She is therefore the immigrant mother of of both a Lawrence and a Tuttle line. It is believed that she returned to Carrickfergus, Ireland with John Tuttle around 1656 before her death. Another theory is that she died in Ipswich, MA. This is all speculative.
