Note: Mary was married at least four times as evidenced by this quote from VIRGINIA HISTORICAL MAGAZINE, vol. 41, p.191. "Mrs. Mary Lawrence ...was granted probate of the will of another husband, Capt John Freme, on 17 Dec 1655; she obtained the administration of another husband, Edward Fitzgerrald, on 3 Feb 1659, and as early thereafter as 10 Sep 1659, a succeeding husband, Peter Plumer, was permitted by the court to take possession of the estate of Mrs. Lawrence-Freme-Fitzgerrald-Plumer's deceased son, Arthur Lawrence." She also outlived Plumer.

John Freeme was first married to an Anne and patented the following land: CAVALIERS, Vol. I, p.145 1 Sep 1643. 1198 acres in Charles City Co. Near Flowerdew Hundred Crk adj Cheney Boyce. Transport of 24 persons including John Freeme, Anne his wife. PB 1, p.896. On 26 Apr 1656, William Justice who had married a daughter of Freeme, probably Rebecca, tried to patent this land in the right of the daughter as heir. He did not name the same 24 persons for transport as John Freeme had named. He did list Rebecca Frame, William Lawrence, Mary Lawrence twice, Anne Lawrence, Arthur Lawrence, and Sara Lawrence as well as Peeter Plumer. He seemed to be using friends and neighbors. [CAVALIERS, Vol 1, p.329. PB 4, p.26 John Freme had already given 300 acres of this tract to his stepsons, Arthur, William & James Lawrence. [3 Nov 1654] Mary would also have been entitled to dower lands from this tract. VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, Vol. X, Charles City County Court Orders 1655-1658; Beverley Fleet, Genealogical Publishing Co. 1961. p.38;p.50 Wm Justice hath proved right by testimony of Capt. Thomas Stegge and Mrs. Mary ffitzgarrett to 1200 acres of land for the charge of Importation of: ....Rebecca fframe, Wm Lawrence, Mary Lawrence twice, Ann Lawrence, Arthur Lawrence, Sara Lawrence, Peter Plum'er [There was no date but on p.48 was the date 26 Apr 1656. Mary "ffitzgarett" is actually Mary Fitzgerald and she was also one of the Mary Lawrence's counted for import. This would have been some years after the arrival of the Lawrence family and after the death of William Lawrence. Peter Plummer would become another husband of Mary's.]

VIRGINIA COLONIAL ABSTRACTS, Vol. XI, Charles City County Court Orders 1658-1661; Beverley Fleet, Genealogical Publishing Co. 1961. p.28/p.172 3 Feb 1658/59 Com. of Admr. to Mary ffitzgarrald widdo of the estate of her late husband Edward ffitzgerrald dec'd.
