GEDCOM Note

From:BELL, NIXON, BARROWS, McKINLEY, COOPER FAMILIES by Judie Clarkare many spellings of the last name in this family: Laurenson, Larrison, Lorrison, Larison, Lorison, Larisun, Larason...take your pick. Larisun Familie History seems to skip William's generation and attaches his son James to William's father John. The age difference would make this possible, but considering that John died before the birth of at least some of Williams children, it become impossible. A Chronical of Everyday People does name these children of William.

"A Chronicle of Everyday People" States that William is known to have been with an emigration from Newtown and the Inventory of the estate of Theophilius Phillips of Maidenhead, NJ has the item of L131-11s-2d due from William Larison March 19th, 1708/09. 1708/10 he settled near what now is Hopewell, NJ.
