Find A Grave contributor Orrin Merritt III adds:
I found that Capt Lawrence was born 7 Mar 1681 in Groton, Middlesex Co., MA
----------
Daniel married firstly, before 22 Apr 1702, Sarah Counts, daughter of Edward and Sarah Counts. Sarah was born about 1682 in Groton, New London, Connecticut. She died Jan 26, 1711 in Plainfield, Windham, Connecticut.
He married secondly, 5 Nov 1712, Plainfield, CT, Hannah Jewell, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary (Smedley) Jewell. She was born 17 Jan 1681, Concord, MA.
He married thirdly, 4 Mar 1725, Plainfield, CT, Sarah Williams, daughter of Thomas and Sarah (Foster) Williams. She was born 6 Dec 1704, Plainfield, CT.
Regarding Daniel's first wife, I do not believe Sarah Counts was his first wife. Marriage records for a Daniel Lawrence to a Sarah Counts shows they were married in 1689 when neither was even 10 years of age. I believe there was a Sarah Counts, but not married to this Daniel Lawrence. I do believe, however, that Daniel Lawrence was married to Sarah (maiden name unknown) about 1701, had four children with him, her first child born in 1702.
