Notes

From http://johnlisle.us/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I33671&tree=st..., quoting Bond’s Watertown:

2.15 (II.) JOHN LAWRENCE, m., about 1657, SUSANNA (???), and lived probably in Charlestown. "He is named on the list of those who paid county rate." His Inventory, amounting to £160 8s., was taken June 17, 1670, by John Pentecost and John Burrage. It included 1 shallop, £40, house and wharf, £90. His wid. Susanna, m. in Charlestown, Aug. 15, 1676, Thomas Tarball, Sen. [see Tarball]. He d. previous to 1680-1, for wid. Susanna Tarball was adm. to Charlestown Church, Mar. 6, 1680-1; Hannah and Abigail Lawrence, drs. of wid. Tarball, bap. in Charlestown, Ap. 24, 1681; John, youngest son of wid. Tarball, bap. Mar. 3, 1681-2. In Court, in 1681, the age of Hannah Lawrence was stated to be 20 yrs., and that of Abigail Lawrence to be 19 yrs. [Perhaps it will yet be discovered that this John Lawrence was a son of Henry and Christian Lawrence, of Charlestown.]

THOMAS TARBELL, an original proprietor of Groton, MA, found in the NEHGS Register, Vol 61, p. 70 (1907):

"Thomas Tarbell, the ancestor of all the early Tarbell families of New England, settled in Watertown as early as 1647, at which time he is mentioned on the town records as owning land. On Mar 30, 1663, he and his wife, Mary, sold his house and land there, and removed to Groton, where she died Apr 29, 1674, aged 54 years. The family retired from Groton to Charlestown at the destruction of the former town during King Philip's War, and there he married second, Aug 15, 1676, Susanna, widow of John Lawrence, and died of the small pox, June 11, 1678. Administration upon his estate was granted to his son, John, Aug 17, 1678. The settlement of his estate was contained in two papers in the Middlesex County Court, bearing dates of May 31, 1680, and Mar 18, 1680/1, shows the following children: Thomas, Mary, Sarah, Abigail, John, Elizabeth, William and Martha.
