Molly Lawrence was probably born in Mason, NH, where they didn't keep birth records at that time.Her parents were very likely Samuel Lawrence (son of Enosh Lawrence, Ens.) and Mary Avery.Note that "Molly" is a nickname for "Mary". Samuel and Mary were married in Townsend, MA in 1757, but lived in Mason, NH until the 1770s. Then the family moved to Townsend, MA.Samuel appears in early Census lists for Townsend.None of his many children seem to have birth records.
