Mistaken Identity

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawrence-535

The Sarah Lawrence who married (1) Joseph Winslow, and (2) Charles LeBros, was in this profile previously but erroneously connected as a child of Thomas Lawrence of Hingham. Robert Charles Anderson in The Great Migration [1] clearly identifies her as the daughter, born say 1648, of Thomas Lawrence and first wife Mary ____ of Ipswich; later, Flushing; and by 1656 Newtown on Long Island, New York.

Sarah was christened on 4 March 1644 in Hingham, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Colony.[2]

Per Mayflower Families, she was a daughter of Capt. Thomas Lawrence of Newtown, Long Island.[3]

"Whereas Joseph Winsloe, late of Boston, merchant, came into these parts with his wife and children, bringing some goods and merchandize, with intent to settle here, but soon after died intestate. And his wife Sarah having afterwards married Charles Salters, her father, Captain Thomas Laurence, wither their consent, is made administrator, January 26, 1679/80."

Notes

https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/winslow-joseph Joseph Winslow, merchant, mariner, and landowner, was born in Marshfield, Mass., one of eight children of John of Plymouth Colony and Boston and Mary Chilton Winslow. John Winslow arrived in America on the ship Fortune in 1621, when he brought the furniture of the Pilgrims who had sailed in the Mayflower the previous year. Mary Chilton Winslow was among those who arrived on the Mayflower. Young Joseph was listed on the roster of the militia at Marshfield in 1643 and later accompanied his father to Maine, where John operated a trading post.

Among the eight Winslow children were Edward, a mariner, who was a leader in the foundation in 1664 of the Charlestown settlement on the Cape Fear River in North Carolina; John, a merchant and mariner, who contributed much to the growth of Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia through seafaring and trade; and Mary, who married Elisha Hutchinson, the son of Anne Hutchinson, a quietist and an exile from the Massachusetts Colony. Uncle Edward Winslow was three times governor of the Massachusetts colony, served as minister to the court of Charles I, and was an associate of Oliver Cromwell.

Joseph Winslow was twice married. He last married Sarah Lawrence in 1673, and their children included Mary (b. 1674) and Joseph (b. 1677). By his first wife he was the father of Timothy, of Perquimans Precinct, N.C. [NO - DISPROVED.]. His contribution to the population of the country has been called his greatest achievement. Although concentrated in eastern North Carolina, his descendants also spread out along the Atlantic seaboard and in significant numbers were part of the later Quaker exodus from North Carolina to the Midwest and among the Free-Soilers who contributed much to the westward expansion of the country.
