LAWES/MORGAN/VON POLLINITZ


John Ernst, Baron von POLLINITZ married Anna Petronilla von HELL and had two known children.
1. Gerhart Bernard,
2. Anna Petronilla.

Anna Petronilla married Colonel Edward MORGAN Lieutenant Governor of the island of Jamaica about 1664, he was the brother to Major General Sir Thomas MORGAN and Robert MORGAN and had  three daughters.

1. Johannes Wiheimina.
2. Anna Petronilla.
3. Mary Elizabeth.

Mary Elizabeth married her cousin Sir Henry MORGAN (known as the Buccaneer)

Johannes Wilheimina married as 1st wife to Henry ARCHBOULD a Sugar Planter of Constant Spring, Jamaica.

Nicholas LAWES a yeoman farmer of Compton Chamberlaine Wiltshire came to Jaimaica with his wife Amy and young son Nicholas who was born 1652, sadly Amy very quickly lost her husband as he soon caught a fever and died. Amy remarried to Colonel Gregory TOM who  arrived in 1663, but he was dead by 1665, she then married Henry ARCHBOULD  above named at St Andrews  in 1668. 

Henry became stepfather, tutor and mentor to the young Nicholas, some of his connections and relations were at the least dubious and yet interesting for that, as I said before Henry's first wife's sister, Mary Elizabeth MORGAN had married her cousin Captain Sir Henry Morgan (The Buccaneer 1635-1684).

Nicholas became Chief Justice by 1698 aged 46 and Governor by 1718 aged 66 and stayerd in office till 1722 It's more surprising considering his relations hereto, that in his capacity of Governor during the 'Golden Aged of Piracy' that he tried many pirates, among them "Calico Jack Rackham,  Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Robert Deal and Charles Vane".

The habit of having multiple partners passed from mother to son, as Nicholas married to five widows, 

In 1680 Nicholas married Elizabeth, widow of John POTTER, sadly she died in 1685 having had a daughter who was baptised Amy after his mother, on the 10 November 1681 at St. Andrews Jamaica. Amy grew to womanhood and married Colonel Charles LONG of Longville Jamaica they in turn had a son Samuel who married one Mary TATE and a daughter who married in turn one John HAMERTON.

In May 1685 he married Frances widow of Ceaser CARTER, she was the daughter of Paul GODWYN and grand-daughter of Francis BISHOP of Hereford. Sadly she died 7 Mar 1693 with her newborn child.

Next he married Elizabeth, widow of Samuel BARRY  she was the daughter of S,ir Thomas MODYFORD, she was buried in Spanish Town Cathedral 1694.

Forthly he married Susannah, widow of Samuel BERNARD Speaker of the Jamica Council, she was the daughter of Thomas TEMPLE of Frampton. By this lady we know of three children.

1. Anne, buried 1711.
2. Temple a son, born 26 Feb 1699 died 3 Jul 1754.
3.Sir James born1693, he married Elizabeth GIBBONS, and after his death in 1743 she remarried  the 8th Lord HOME.

Fifthly Nicholas married Elizabeth, widow of Thomas COTTON she a daughter of Sir Thomas LAWLEY of Spoonhill, Shropshire, Chatelaine of the Kings Horse, she was born about 1690 and died 1725. 

By this lady he fathered a daughter, Judith Maria who in turn married in January 1756 to Simon LUTTRELL 1st Earl CARHAMPTON an Irish Peer, she died December 1798 at Sheepyhall Wiltshire, having been blind some years.

They had a daughter Ann born 24 January 1743 who married twice, initially to Christopher HORTON of Catton Derbyshire and when he died in 1805 she married Prince Henry Frederick brother to King George III in a secret ceromony in the Mayfair Hertford Street Chapel 2 October 1771, she died 28 December 1808 in Trieste ITALY.

Today we would like to salute HM Royal Marines in their 350th year.



In 2014 the Corps of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines celebrate their 350th anniversary.  To commemorate this date, Royal Marines Commandos ski,'d, sailed, cycled, canoed and ran 6656km (circa 4136 miles). The aim was to encapsulate the Commando spirit and Corps values in a significant physical and mental challenge.

North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland Welcome to the Laws Family Register.   A Child of  the Twenties A suburban childhood of the Twenties  seen from the Ninteen Nineties by my late father John Robert Laws 1921-2008 Part 16 Holidays 1, Holidays at that time meant the seaside, and the seaside meant the East Coast, Sunshine, East winds sand, and an icy grey sea. June was the preferred month, until school became important enough to interfere. My mother packed vast quantities of clothing in a big cabin trunk, which must have gone on ahead; it certainly didn’t come in the car with us. It took a good three hours to cover seventy odd miles to the coast.  Bypass was an almost unknown word and certainly wasn’t applicable to even the Essex county town of Colchester, the first time of two, that we went that way. One was built in the next couple of years but now some sixty odd years later has been virtually absorbed into
