Researching

Lawrence Waters died in Charlestown, Mass, on 09 Dec 1687, aged about 85 years, having outlived his wife by seven years.[3]

Anna, his wife, died on February 6, 1680 in Charlestown. On May 4, 1688 his son Lawrence of Boston, heir of Lawrence Waters of Lancaster, late of Boston, deceased,deeded to Stephen Waters of Charleston, house carpenter, and John Skoth(or Sheath), cordwainer (Sheath had married Sarah Waters), land in Lancaster. This deed was most likely in settlement of Lawrence's estate.The land included a seven acre house lot, nine acres of intervale, 13acres of upland, 70 acres of upland in the second division, and fifty acres of second division swamp, including ten acres of upland which was sometime part of the house lot of Richard Linton.[1]

The court records regarding his wife, Ann Linton, show the severity with which the puritan authorities ruled their citizens."Lawrence Waters wife was enjoined to give John Finch 18 pence & Nico: Lambe was to give John Finch 18 pence & Edward Lambe to give him 2 shillings & Lambe was fined 15 shillings 6 pence for his contempt & all of them were admonished to avoid dancing". Although I admire her spirit,this record doesn't mean that Ann was an overly wild woman. The case is included to give more insight into her life and personality and also to show the standards that had to be lived up to in those days.

They had the following children: Lawrence Waters was born in Watertown on February 14, 1634/5. Sarah Waters was born December 7, 1636. M. in Weymouth on June 7, 1658 to John Skeath (Scate).
