Major Lawrence Smith, (desc of Wm I "the Lion" of Scotland)

Notes:

The main article identifying Lawrence Smith's ancestry is "The Townleys and Warners of Virginia and Their English Connections" by Mary Burton Derrickson McCurdy in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.

The book "Early Virginia Immigrants" lists Lawrence Smith arriving from England in 1652. "Imported" by Capt. Augustine Warner who was married to Mary Townley, sister of Elizabeth Townley, Lawrence's mother. They were daughters of Lawrence Townley, the grandfather of Lawrence Smith. Lawrence Towneley is also the direct ancestor of both George Washington and Robert E. Lee through Mary Townley, wife of Augustine Washington.

===========
According to "Bacon's Rebellion - 1676" by Thomas J. Wertenbaker, Clearfield Co., Inc. & reprinted by Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. Baltimore, MD, 1993, 1994, 1998, pg. 48, Lawrence was a resident of Gloucester county, Virginia, and in March, 1675-1676, he commanded a fort at the head of Rappahannock river. In Bacon's rebellion he sided with Governor Berkeley, and after Bacon's death led the Gloucester "trained hands" against Ingram, but they deserted him. He was surveyor for the counties of Gloucester and York in 1686, and in 1691 laid out Yorktown. In 1699 the governor recommended him as suitable for appointment to the council. He died in 1700. From his coat-of-arms Major Smith appears to have belonged to the Smiths of Totne, County Devon, England. He was father of Colonel John Smith, of the Virginia council.
