Lawrence Family Graveyard. . In this private cemetery are buried members of one of America's most distinguished families. The first Lawrence to be buried here was Major Thomas Lawrence in 1703 and the last was Miss Ruth Lawrence in 1956. The roster of family notables includes Major Jonathan Lawrence, patriot, statesman, and soldier in the American Revolutionary War, and twelve other military officers of successive generations from Dutch Colonial days to the Civil War period. Seven of the Lawrences interred here held major government posts. This small cemetery is a reminder of two and a half centuries of family history.
