Lawrence
A. Samuel is my second great-grand-uncle, the third child of my third
great-grandfather, Aaron Samuel. Lawrence was born on Dec. 27, 1846 in Whitechapel,
England. In 1851 he lived with his family at 47 Green Street in Stepney,
England. By 1857, Aaron and his wife, the former Phoebe Levy had 8 children in
total. The youngest child, John, had just been born in February of 1857. John
would become my second-great-grandfather.
By August of
1857, Aaron and his family were sailing to America on board the Margaret Evans.
(More about this in the post on Aaron’s birthday January 4) Lawrence was 11
years old when he arrived in Hoboken, New Jersey.
