Individual Details

Rev. John Lawrence

(Ca 1500 - )



John may have married a relative of John Burward of Debach, Suffolk, who in his will of 12 Apr 1572, left lands in three parishes to the preacher's son John.

There seems to be a long interval between the birth of the son John and the other children. Perhaps Rev. John was married more than one time.

The NEHGS Register's series of articles on the Sherman family, also noted the Lawrences. The Rev. John surely had a brother, James, born about 1505, of Dedham. James married Joan Thorpe, widow of William Thorpe who was buried at Dedham 3 Jan 1575/6 and then Barbara, surname unknown, who became guardian of William Thorpe's only granddaughter, Rose Havelocke, in 1576.
