In his will, William Lawrence left each of his children two sheep. In 1658, Francis Redford petitioned the Charles City court to have the sheep released to him according to the will. Edward Fitzgerald, Ann's stepfather, had the sheep and was ordered to deliver them.

By 1654, Mary Lawrence, widow, was married to militia Captain John Freme. There is a deed of gift from Freme to Mary's three Lawrence sons.
