Biography

The 1693 Census of the Swedes on the Delaware: Family Histories of the Swedish Lutheran Church Members Residing in Pennsylvania, Delaware, West New Jersey & Cecil County, Md., 1638-1693 on page 54 states:

"Lars Larsson Boore (Pennypack, £124): Lars Larsson, son of Lars Thomasson, was born in New Sweden in August 1648. Until the mid-1680s he generally used the patronymic (Larsson, Laurenson, Lawson), although his name was entered as Laers Boers in the 1677 Upland court tax list. The spelling of his chosen surname varied considerably (Bure, Buur, Boer, Boor, Bore, Boore), but became standardized as Boore in later generations. As Laurence Laurenson, he was one of the six original patentees of Karraconks (Carkoens) Hook in Kingsessing, surveyed on 19 June 1675 for 560 acres, "which they have long inhabited." With Olle Ollesson Kuckow (#188), Laers Laerson moved in 1680 to a 670-acre tract called "Pleasant Hill" between Poquessing and Pennypack creeks. He remained at this location until his death in 1708. His wife Elisabeth (parents not identified), born in February 1654, was named in his will of 27 Nov. 1708, but was deceased by the time it was proved, 7 Feb. 1708/9. In 1693 their household included five children, Gertrude, Lars (born 1678), Elisabeth (14 Mar. 1687), Maria (7 Aug. 1689) and Anders (20 Sep. 1691), and either Lars Boore's aged mother or a servant."^[1]
