  Joshua Lawrence, 1778-1843
Joshua Lawrence (10 Sept. 1778-23 Jan. 1843), Baptist minister, farmer, and pamphleteer, was born in Edgecombe County, one of several children of John and Absilla Bell Lawrence.
Lawrence received little formal schooling and for several years after his father's death seems to have indulged a propensity for profligacy, though not to the extent of wasting his property; industry and frugality characterized his life, even as a tumultuous teenager.
Lawrence was by far the most forceful and articulate apologist of the Primitive Baptists; without his leadership, they fell into decline and, except for a brief resurgence in the late nineteenth century, remained a minor sect.

 Reviews of Books about Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
His father, Joshua Chamberlain Jr., named him after Commodore James Lawrence, a War of 1812 naval hero whose ship, the "Chesapeake", was attacked and sunk by the British.
His father and paternal grandfather were named just "Joshua Chamberlain"--there was no "Lawrence" used as a middle name by either man (and there is no "Lawrence" engraved on either man's gravestone in the cemetery in Brewer, Maine).
To say that Chamberlain was named "Joshua Lawrence" after his father and grandfather is, therefore, incorrect.
