A buccaneer and privateer active in the Caribbean. He is best known for his association with Henry Morgan. Lawrence's date of birth is uncertain. The earliest record of him is as an adult inhabitant of the town of Barnstable in 1639. He was therefore born no later than 1618. Based on the fact that his first child was born about 1641-2, he was probably born no earlier than 1612. It is therefore likely that Lawrence was born sometime in 1612-1618, with 1615 being a reasonable midpoint. Kupperman, Karen Ordahl. Providence Island, 1630–1641: The Other Puritan Colony.
