Biography

Laurence McLouth served in the Revolution. He is on the list of "REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOTS BURIED IN AND AROUND ONTARIO COUNTY, NEW YORK"

"McLouth, Lawrence 1757-1810 Village Cemetery Village of Manchester"^[1]

Notes

1790 - Lucy Barrows of Attleborough, a single woman accused Laurence McLowth Jr of Taunton as the father of her child born 25 January. ^[2] In his will, Laurence leaves to Esther McLouth "commonly called my daughter" ten shillings.

However there is a marriage record at family search for Lawrence Mc Louth and Lucy Barrows dated 4 Sep 1779 in Attleboro, Bristol, Massachusetts.^[3] The image comes from "Vital Records of Attleborough Massachusetts" pg 318^[4] and records their intention, not marriage. On the other hand his Findagrave profile (link in 'Sources') states:

"1st Marriage Esther Brownell 1778 in Bedford, Middlesex, Massachusetts."

I begin to wonder how many Laurence McLouth's there might have been there/then?
