• Notes

  ********** (The following is from an e-mail message from Marston Watson - 25 Jun 2013) «b»«i»Sarah Lawton«/b» b. in 1640 Bristol, Bristol, Mass. She d. in Feb 1692/93 Bristol [no VR found]. She may have been of Lawton ancestry, but further research is needed. Sarah entered into an agreement on 1 Feb. 1691/92 with her four oldest sons (John, Thomas, William and George) and daughters Sarah and Elizabeth. In this agreement, Sarah promises "to bring up, maintain and educate the other four children - Susannah, Benjamin, Joseph and Mary - until they become of age or marry." The birth dates and birth order of Sarah's children are approximations, based on other source data.«/i» ********** According to Guilford, "Wait has a vague sort of feeling that Sarah may have been in some way connected to Thomas Lawton." According to Stotler, Sarah may have been born in Scotland, but Thomas E. Monroe says that it is very unlikely that Sarah came from Scotland as John came to America as a war prisoner in 1652, only men are listed on the ship manifest and New England was settled primarily by English.
