Daniel also said that there was likely to be a dispute between him and his brother, Alexander, about one of the fields; that it is most convenient to him but his brother has it in rye and he thinks Alexander will try to buy it."

Daniel at 45/-, Alexander at 45/- and John at 40/- per acre in three payments, the first payment to be 1st May, 1755. They are to consider of it and let me know what they conclude on or before the next winter..."Miscellaneous
April8, 1755: "Dave Lawrence [from the remainder of this note, Dave was actually Daniel who did have an earlier agreement with Johnston; there is no previous mention of Dave Lawrence] came to me at Elizabethtown; he agreed to take the lot he lives on at 45/- per acre, the price I offered it to him for last spring, but had not had time to enter into articles with him."Miscellaneous
Daniel Lawrence continued to live in Peapack, New Jersey, after his brothers Alexander and John moved to North Carolina.This note in Andrew Johnston's journal also identifies Daniel Lawrence's brother-in-law as Drake.
"May 28,1760: "Dan Lawrence has paid me 200 pounds in part. I find Mr Smiths return leaves out about 12 acres, part of what by the straight line would have taken John Lawrence's lot, and agreed between them that Dan was to have it. I will try to get that rectified when I go up. Drake, Lawrence's brother-in-law, asks the price of Brower's lot, J. Smith's, King's lot and McWilliams. I offered King at
50/- and the others at 45/- per acre, three payments".
