Hi!A book at the NC State Library in Raleigh, NC entitled GENEALOGICAL ABSTRACTS
OF REV. WAR PENSION FILES, Vol II F-M, abstracted by Virgil D. White, Nat'l. Historical Pub. Co., Waynesboro, TN 1991, has the following information on page 2028:
"LAWRENCE,John, (widow)Angelina Mary, W5020, NC Line, soldier was b. in 12 May 1761 in Granville Co. NC & he lived there at enlistment & after the Rev. he moved to VA for 1 yr then returned to Granville Co. NC for 6 or 7 yrs then moved to Wake Co. NC & in 1816 he moved to Chatham Co. NC & he applied there in Nov 1832, widow applied 8 Apr 1841 Chatham Co. NC aged 75 on 20 Mar 1841, soldier & widow had md. 3 Feb 1786 in Granville Co. NC & soldier died 25 Oct 1834, children were; Henry b 20 Dec 1786, Avereler b 3 Mar 1789, Elizabeth b 26 Feb 1791, Lucy b 17 May 1792, John b 20 Feb 1796, William b 26ar 1799, Thompson b 15 Nov 1801 & THEOPHILUS b 12 Apr 1806, the daughter Lucy made affidavit in Chatham Co. NC on 8 May 1841."
On page 2024 in the same book is a John Laurence, born 28 Dec 1762, who lived in Wake Co. NC at his enlistment, moved to Guilford Co. NC 1803 and to Greene Co. GA
1823 then to Putnam Co. GA.He had brothers Abraham and William
who lived in Wake
Co. during the Revolutionary War, and a James Laurence made
affidavit in 1852 that
he had lived in Wake Co. about 6 miles from the soldier, but he
himself was too
young to serve.This family doesn't appear to be connected to that
of the John in
Chatham, but since they were both in Wake Co. at one time, you need
to be aware of
this other family.

I went through LAWRENCE wills and estates for Chatham Co. NC trying
to determine
if Needham Lawrence of that county was related to my
Lawrence/Larrance family of
Randolph Co. NC.In case you have not had access to these
documents, there was an
estate file for Theophilus H. Lawrence - 1865.J. H. Lawrence was
administrator.
Security on the admin. bond were W. A. Lawrence & H. L. Buchanan.
The widow was
named as Mary G. Lawrence.Heirs (children) were: Adaline
Buccanon, wife of
Hillyard (Buchanan), Eliz. Ragland, wife of W. A.Ragland, W. A.
Lawrence, Sarah
Upchu(r)ch, Isaac G. Lawrence, Hetty Lawrence (a minor), and J. H.
Lawrence (the
admin.).

There was a will for Mrs. Mary G. Lawrence, written 23 Jan 1880 and
probated 2 Sep
1893.Youngest son Isaac G. Lawrence was to be executor and to get
all the land
Mary lived on.Residue of estate was to be divided equally between
children.The
application for letters testamentary listed the parties entitled to
property as:
Isaac G. Lawrence, W. A. Lawrence, Sarah A. Bobhill, J. H.
Lawrence, Emma A.
Buchanan, Eliz. D. Ragland, He(dana?) M. Holland.
