- Jonathan Lawrence (1737-1812) of Newtown, Queens County, Long Island was a New York City merchant, politician and militia officer. The Jonathan Lawrence papers, 1765-1810, contain letters written by Jonathan Lawrence, documents, and two account notebooks pertaining to the mercantile and shipping affairs of Lawrence and members of his family, 1779-1810, with two peripheral business letters, 1765-1766. Letters written by Lawrence comprise three letters to his partner at Lawrence & Tom in Dover, New York regarding shipments sent via the Hudson River, 1783-1784; a letter to Henry Livingston, 1788; and a letter to Captain Peter Hodgkinson, 1793. Documents consist of loose invoices and accounts for Jonathan Lawrence, Lawrence & Tom, and John Ireland, including customs documents for imports by Lawrence from St. Croix and St. Eustatius, 1783-1796 and undated; an order to deliver the brig Seaflower, 1787; and land conveyances by family members for property in Manhattan, 1806 and 1810. A notebook, dated 1779 at Fishkill, contains accounts with the unidentified writer's father and mother, and Thomas Fanning. A notebook for the brig Olive Branch, 1789, contains accounts for Jonathan Lawrence Jr. and Samuel Tibbals, both identified as captains, and others.
