| | Lawrence-Townley Estate of England (Fraud) - Washington DC 1869 |
 | | This Celia Lawrence’s parents were John Lawrence and Mary Towneley, who had eloped in England and fled to Virginia because John’s family was Protestant, and Mary’s Catholic, and Mary’s father would not agree to the union. |
 | | Jasiel Lawrence, of Lewis County, New York, was presented with a document entitled “Genealogy and Decree of Chancery” in which he was proclaimed “the SOLE HEIR to the Lawrence-Townley Estate.” Every one of these stories was, of course, fraudulent, and the certificates worthless. |
 | | Jonathan Lawrence, Jr., was the eldest son, next heir to the estate, according to the laws of England. |
