genealogybank.com 21 Dec 1844 New York Herald: "DEATH OF CAPT. LAWRENCE -- 
A correspondent informs us of the death, on the 19th instant at his residence, near 
Astoria, L I of Captain John Lawrence, in his 90th year, a soldier of the revolution. Mr. 
Lawrence was an actor in several of the most important miliatry events in the war of 
Freedom. At the termination of that great struggle he retired to his farm, on which he 
has ever since resided: living to see around him his 'children of the third and fourth 
generations" Till lately he preserved his health and faculties, and was a noble and 
venerable remnant of the men of '76. His death which can hardl be called the result of 
disease) removes another of those to whose patriotism and valor we owe our present 
heritage of freedom."
He and his wife are 4th cousins
