General Notes: Husband - [Unk] Lawrence
During the Revolutionary War he was a patriot and being in good circumstances financially furnished Washington's army with cattle and provisions, seriously crippling himself financially, as Congress never paid him for these supplies. Later Mr. Lawrence removed his family to Pennsylvania (from New Jersey?), and settled near Hollidaysburg, and he and his wife are buried in the old Frankstown cemetery near Hollidaysburg.
