Benjamin Lawrence - American Revolutionary War Veteran Graves on Waymarking.com

Marker and tombstone of Benjamin Lawrence, Revolutionary War Hero. In 1799 he removed with his family to 377 acres purchased in Jefferson co., Ky., near Louisville; and on his plantation, Eden, built the first stone house in the county.

Benjamin Lawrence & his wife Urath Owings are buried side by side in the family graveyard at Eden; the places marked by large flat slabs, bearing names and dates only.
