Biography

Joseph Lawrence was born on April 10, 1718, in Groton, Middlesex, Massachusetts ^[1].

Research Notes

While the Massachusetts vital is indexed as 10 Apr 1717; the actual entry reads 10 Apr 1717/18, also he died at age 39, so I am going with the 10 Apr 1718 date.

The Nims family book gives his wife as Elizabeth MARTIN; I have found no corroborating evidence except that his wife was named Elizabeth; she administered his estate (he died intestate).
