Sarah Lawrence born about 1807 daughter of
John Lawrence and Ann light living in Ercal

decendancy from Lord William Lawrence, who
held Manors for William the Conq; Just over in
the salop/Staffs border about 1068--as in the
ancient poem about him--these went out of the

POW/MIA Korean War, LAURENCE

H Davis — 30 Nov 2006 12:07:44 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Cuyahoga County Ohio as his home of record. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: HARRY JOSEPH LAURENCE
Born: August 5, 1924, Caucasian
Date of loss: Deember 12, 1950, MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. The Laurencefamily is one of those missing.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

U.S. Army Sgt. Harry J. Laurence of Cleveland, Ohio - Korean MIA Identified

RIP_08 — 28 Mar 2008 2:06:10 GMT

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 240-08
March 26, 2008
Soldier Missing in Action From The Korean War is Identified

The Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office announced today that the remains of a U.S. serviceman, missing in action from the Korean War, have been identified and will be returned to his family for burial with full military honors.

He is U.S. Army Sgt. Harry J. Laurence of Cleveland, Ohio. He will be buried April 9 in Arlington National Cemetery near Washington, D.C.

Representatives from the Army met with Laurence's next-of-kin to explain the recovery and identification process, and to coordinate interment with military honors on behalf of the secretary of the Army.

Laurence was a member of L Company, 31st Infantry Regiment, then making up the 31st Regimental Combat Team (RCT), 7th Infantry Division. The team was engaged against the Chinese People's Volunteer Forces near the Chosin Reservoir, North Korea, from Nov. 27-Dec. 11, 1950. The unit was forced to retreat to the south due to intense enemy fire. Laurence was among many soldiers reported missing in action.

In 2001, joint U.S. and Democratic People's Republic of Korea teams, led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC), conducted two excavations of a mass grave near the Chosin Reservoir. The site correlates closely with defensive positions held by the 31st RCT at the time of the Chinese attacks. The teams recovered remains believed to be those of 11 U.S. servicemen. Analysis of the remains subsequently led to the identifications of three individuals, including Laurence.

Among other forensic identification tools and circumstantial evidence, scientists from JPAC also used dental comparisons in Laurence's identification.

For additional information on the Defense Department's mission to account for missing Americans, visit the DPMO Web site at http://www.dtic.mil/dpmo or call (703) 699-1169.

She only lived for 1 year after their marriage. This info is according to a note signed by B.E. PEURON.

The book is a lovely collection of poems written for Jennie Laurence by her friends and family.

Most entries are from the students of the Oakland Fem. Inst. In Oakland, NJ in 1860 and many students list the cities they are from.

I will soon post a list of the names but for now, does any one know anything about these people or the Oaklan, NJ school in 1860?

They joined the Germans in 1710 in Holland for their departure to America. Johannes Lorentz in New York 1710, gives his age as 43. His will, dated Peapack, New Jersey, July 1745, names his children. "(but they are not listed in this book, sorry). Hope this helps someone. Merry Christmas. Linda

Daniel Carter X Annie Laurence, NYC, NY 1755

EdHopkins — 6 Jan 2004 4:42:02 GMT

Daniel Carter married in 1755, ( I believe in New York) to Mary (aka Annie) Laurence. He was a cooper and affiliated with a firm of shippers known as Poole, Pentz and Goine. He lived at 2 Governeur Lane NYC. He was a private in the Revolution, serving with Captain Ben Stevenson's Comany of the Westchester Levies.

He and Mary had 10 children;
1. Rachel Carter b26 June 1755
2. Hannah Pryar Carter b 21 July 1756
3. Sarah Carter b 30 June 1759
4. James Carter b 24 Sept 1762
5. William Carter b 21 Jul 1764 (died as infant, I believe because of second William)
6. Mathew Peacock Carter b 7 Jan 1766
7. William Laurence Carter b 24 Oct 1767, christened 8 Nov 1767 First and Second Presbyterian Church, New York, New York
8. Jane Carter b 16 June 1771, christened 14 Jul 1771First and Second Presbyterian Church, New York, New York
9. Ann McDonald Carter b 20 Dec 1773, christened 16 Jan 1774 First and Second Presbyterian Church, New York, New York
10. Enoch Carter b 16 Jul 1775, christened 17 Sept 1775 First and Second Presbyterian Church, New York, New York.

I am descended from Ann, who married in 1793 to Adam Pentz. Other than the reference to Laurence as a middle name, I have no idea where the other middle names come from, whether they are references to other family names or of acquaintances. The property at Governeur lane passed down trough Anne and remained in the Pentz family until at least 1876.

I have no other information on this family, but would love to fill in the blanks. If this seems to connect with your line, I would love to hear from you.

Laurence family St. Louis, Missouri

Vicki Laurence — 8 Jan 2004 3:47:55 GMT

I would love to find out some history about my family. However my fater had a falling out with them years ago. Just as he started to be interested in contacting them again he passed away. I don't really have much information. I know his mothers name was Meta. There was in all 10 children in the family. And I know there is much Cherrokee Indian history there too. My father grew up in a small town right outside of ST. Louis Misouri.
I know this is asking a lot but I would love to get any info from anyone. Thanks for reading this.
Even if you don't have any information and know of a way that I might be able to get more can you please let me know I'm really new to this.
Thanks
