    Notes:

    John Lawrence was admitted a freeman, April 17, 1637, when about twenty-eight
    years old; though it will be seen, by the early Massachusetts Records, that the
    freeman's oath was given at first to males of only sisteen years. 28 February
    1636 he receaved three acres of land, his share of a grant then made to the
    townsmen, a hundred and six in number. In 1650, he bought of the town fifteen
    acres of common land (called King's Common). "In 1654, Hugh Mason received of
    John Lawrence, clerk, 2 pounds 17 shillings 6 pennies money for town or parish
    use." His removal to Groton is determined by various facts and dates. Town
    Records are in existence, dated June 23, 1662; the first probably made. As one
    of the original proprietors, he owned "a twenty-acre right." The sale of his
    lands and mansion-house in Watertown was made in 1662. In December of the same
    year, it appears by the records of Groton, "meet men were found amongst the
    inhabitants," of whom "John Lawrence" was one, "who were chosen selectmen." He
    was evidently a man of smoe intelligence and invluence, and held a good place
    in the public esteem. Though a large landholder for the times, he is said to
    have carried on the business of a carpenter both in Watertown and Boston. He
    died in Groton, 11 July 1667 leaving his sons Nathaniel and Joseph, and wife
    Susanna, executors of his will.
