Hide Profile

Joseph Lawrence (b. 1741) was a merchant captain from Flushing, now a neighborhood in modern-day Queens, N.Y. His brother Effingham Lawrence commanded the brigantine Audrey, built by Joseph's employer Samuel Townsend prior to the American Revolution. Another brother, John L. Lawrence (b. 1731) may be the John who appears in the collection.

Joseph's son, also named Effingham Lawrence, was a judge in Queens County in the early 19th century. He lived at the family homestead, "Stone-House" in what is now the Bayside neighborhood of Queens, and was possibly the source of later account books in the collection.
