Appendix La8
 Benjamin Lawrence (La8) was on the Committee of Observation for  his section, (Delaware Hundred) in Howard County. He built a mill on Delaware Bottom. He was a Commissioner in Maryland during the Revolution according to Anne S. Anderson.
He removed to Kentucky in 1799, following his son Samuel Lawrence II (La7) who came to Jefferson County, Kentucky, from Baltimore County, Maryland, arriving May 12, 1799, according to the Lawrence Bible.
Benjamin Lawrence (La8) settled at "Eden", as he called his choice of location, where his burying ground was still preserved in 1950, surrounded by a stone wall.
The �Dai1y Focus� an early newspaper carried an advertisement of the sale of �Edenland", ten miles East of Louisville at an early date, by Leaven Lawrence. This was perhaps his son, Leavin, and may have followed his father's death.
Copies of inscriptions on stone box graves at "Eden" were made by Mrs. George Nicholas (Ni3-5) and are as follows:

Sacred to the Memory of
 Benjamin Lawrence
who departed this life
 March 5, 1814
Aged 72 years 10 months.
 
 

Sacred to the Memory of

late Consort of Benjamin
 Lawrence

 Dec. 17, 1807 (Alice Trabue's copy Sept. 17}
Aged 69 yrs. 2 mo. & 21 days


Excerpts from "Descendants of Richard and Elizabeth (Ewen) Talbott" by Ida M. Shirk

6 Jan., 1776, he was commissioned 2d. lieut. in his brother-in-law Richard Owings' company of the Soldiers' Delight battalion, Baltimore co. militia.

In 1799 he removed with his family to Jefferson co., Ky., near Louisville; and on his plantation, Eden, built the first stone house in the county.

They [Benjamin Lawrence & Urath Owings] are buried side by side in the family graveyard at Eden; the places marked by large flat slabs, bearing names and dates only.
 
 

Revolutionary War soldier gets his due
Grave site cleaned up at Shelby Campus

Nearly 200 years after Revolutionary War soldier Benjamin Lawrence was buried in eastern Jefferson County, he has been rediscovered by a Desert Storm veteran who is making sure Lawrence is honored.

The family cemetery in which Lawrence was buried is near the back entrance to the University of Louisville's Shelby Campus off Whipps Mills Road, next to homes in Bellemeade. It is encircled by an old stone wall and an 8-foot-tall, locked chain-link fence.

Navy veteran Ken Nichter of Fern Creek, a U of L hazardous-materials technician and a Cub Scout leader, happened upon the site during a geocaching hunt at the campus last summer.

He and a colleague were looking for a film canister stashed in a tree next to the cemetery during a scavenger hunt-type game played with portable global positioning system devices.

Nichter suggested a cleanup at the cemetery for an Eagle Scout project.

The cleanup has been completed, and on Saturday a new bronze "Patriot Marker" in the shape of an eight-pointed star will be installed at Lawrence's grave site by the Sons of the American Revolution.

"Working here at U of L, I was utterly ashamed to see a cemetery on our property in this bad of shape," Nichter said. The weeds were waist high and it was full of trash, he said. "To me that's disrespectful."

Nichter, a Cub Scout leader with Troop 56 at Fern Creek United Methodist Church, suggested the Eagle project to a Boy Scout with the troop, Ben Watson, 14, of Greenville, Ind.

On a recent Saturday, Ben and other Scouts and family members raked leaves and removed tree limbs from the cemetery. It was one of several Saturdays they worked there.

Ben said he was motivated by respect for Lawrence. "He's an important part of the history of Louisville," Ben said.

Nichter asked university library archivists for information about Lawrence and the cemetery. They found a 1978 article in a university publication written by John A. Dillon Jr., former vice president for academic affairs. He died last year.

Dillon wrote that the Daughters of the American Revolution had placed a name plaque on Lawrence's grave during the country's bicentennial in 1976.

The article said Lawrence was born in Maryland in 1741 and died in 1814. He came to Kentucky in 1798 and in 1800 purchased 377 acres in the area of today's Shelby Campus.
Dillon said Lawrence's children married into other leading families of the region, including that of Edward Dorsey Hobbs, founder of Anchorage.

"The ravages of time, of stone decay and especially of vandals have destroyed or obliterated most of the markings on the approximately 30 graves," Dillon wrote.

But he said he hoped the cemetery could be made presentable: "If one inherits a piece of the past as we did � it seems only right to attempt to maintain it for � future generations."

A parent in the troop is paying the $102 for the bronze marker, which will be put in the ground Saturday by Forrest Chilton of Middletown, president of the Sons of the American Revolution's Gov. Isaac Shelby Chapter in Shelbyville and a member of the group's Louisville-Thruston chapter.

"We're enjoying freedoms today that that gentleman helped make possible," Chilton said. He said he has marked about 30 graves in the state in the past 10 years, including one on the Fourth of July at a Lutheran cemetery off Watterson Trail in Jeffersontown.

Lucian Young, grounds superintendent for U of L, said that he didn't know a Revolutionary War soldier was buried in the cemetery and that he will try to improve its maintenance.

Published in the Courier-Journal - November 15, 2006

I descend from Benjamin & Urath's son Samuel Lawrence (29 Sep 1764 - 17 Sep 1822) who married Sarah Hobbs (03 Jul 1769 - 19 Sep 1828).  Let me know if you'd be interested in any information about them and I'll get back to you.

Sincerely,

David J. Peterie
