Mary and her siblings appear to have had divided loyalties during the American Revolution. The 3 siblings Jacob, Ezekiel and Martha remained in New York until their deaths, whereas 3 siblings Cornelius, Stephen and Mary/Polly all emigrated to Canada.
Well-documented Lawrence family website shows that Mary/Polly married Samuel BADGLEY & had 10 children, 9 of whom accompanied the parents to Upper Canada (Ontario) in 1789.
