He was born in 1629 at Stonirakes, England; He was born at Stonirakes in 1629 according to footnote 151, page 361, The Towneleys and Warners of Virginia and their English Connection, by Mary Burton Derrickson McCurdy, The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 81.
He married Mary Debnam; Note: The following is from the article entitled Thomas Smith of Fairfax County, Virginia, The Virginia Genealogist, Volume 40, Number 1, (Jan-Mar, 1996), by Henry G. Taliaferro: "Several sources, including Gary Boyd Roberts, The Royal Descent of 500 Immigrants to the American Colonies or the United States (Baltimore, 1983), give the name of Lawrence Smith's wife as Mary Hitchin. I am satisfied that she was Mary Debnam; see Mary Burton Derrickson McCurdy, "The Towneleys and Warners of Virginia and their English Connections," The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, v. 81, p. 361, note 151, and J. B. C. Nicklin, ibid., v. 56, pp. 208-210. Nicklin erred, however, in assuming that Mary Debnam and her sisters were the daughters of "Henry Deadman" of Rappahannock River, Virginia. They were the issue of William and Catherine Debnam of York and Gloucester counties. After the death of William Debnam in 1657, his widow married the Rev. Charles Grymes of Gloucester County (ibid., v.81, p. 360)." [end of Taliaferro article quote].1 He died after 8 August 1700. He left a will on 8 August 1700; From pages 97 & 98 of "The Armistead Family 1635-1910," (1910) by Virginia Armistead Garber: "The first Major Lawrence Smith (of Abington Parish, Gloucester), was a man of great influence and estate. He bore the coat-of-arms of the Smiths of Totness, co. of Devon, England. He married Mary (???), and his will was dated August 8, 1700, but no copy thereof has been preserved. In 1686 "Temple Farm," Yorktown, was sold to Major Lawrence Smith. He was surveyor for the Crown for the counties of York and Gloucester. In 1691 he laid out the town of Yorktown on the land of Benjamin Reade, and received fifty acres for the same." The following is from footnote 151, page 361, The Towneleys and Warners of Virginia and their English Connection, by Mary Burton Derrickson McCurdy, The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume 81: "There is a question whether Lawrence Smith was married before he came to Virginia. In tracing the history of the Lawrence Smith born at Stonirakes in 1629, we came across a marriage in the Burnley registers of a Lawrence Smith to a Mary Hitchon on September 28, 1651. It is doubtful that this was the Lawrence Smith of Stonirakes. Both a Lawrence Smith of Botten and a Lawrence Smith of Burnley baptized a daughter Mary the following year, and either of those could have been the husband of Mary Hitchon." [end of article]. |
