     Robert Lawrence was the son of Sir John Lawrence, Baronet, of London and his wife Grissel Gibbons. It appears that shortly after Sir John Lawrence died in 1638, Robert and his wife Elizabeth Adkinson immigrated to Isle of Wight Co., Virginia.

     Robert and Elizabeth had four sons that have been identified, Robert Lawrence Jr., John Lawrence, George Lawrence, and Henry Lawrence. There is a vast amount of information on the descendants of Robert and John. Additionally, I have obtain information on some of the descendants of Henry, particularly descendants of his son Michael. Recently I have obtained information on what I believe to be ancestors of George Lawrence.

     I descend from both sons Robert Jr. and John. Robert Lawrence [III], son of Robert Lawrence Jr. married his 2nd cousin Sarah Exum, granddaughter of John Lawrence.

     I have attempted to gather as much information about the descendants of Robert Lawrence the immigrant as I can into this one work that can serve as a reference for researchers of these Lawrence lines.
