§ 3- ELIZABETH HAZARD, 2 (Thomas, 1). She married George Lawton, of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. He was admitted an inhabitant of the island of Aquidneck in 1638. On April 30, 1639, he and twenty others signed the fol— lowing compact: “We whose names are underwritten do acknowledge ourselves the legal subjects of his majesty King Charles, and in his name do hereby bind ourselves into a civil body politicke, unto his laws according to matters ofjustice.” " In 164.8, he was a member of the Court of Trials. In 1665, ’72, ’75, ’76, ’79, ’80, he was Deputy. August 3 I, 167 I, there was a meeting at his house of the Town Council, and Council of War of the two towns was ordered by the Assem- bly to be held on September 5th, at nine o’clock in the forenoon, “there and then to consider of some ways and means for securing the inhabitants and their estates in these times of imminent danger.”2 Twenty horsemen (ten from each town), completely armed, were to attend at same time and place for the defence of said council there sitting, treachery of the Indians being feared.

In 1676, April 4, it was voted by the Assembly: “That in these troublesome times and straits in this colony, the Assembly, desiring to have the advice and concurrence of the most judicious inhabitants, if it may be had for the good of the whole, do desire at their next sitting the company and counsel of sixteen per— sons,3 among them George Lawton.”

On May 2, 1676, he and John Easton were desired to go to Providence, with all convenient speed, to determine whether garrisons shall be kept there at charge of colony, a petition having been sent to the Assembly from that place concern— ing their distressed condition in these present times of wars with the Indians.‘ In 1678 (October 30), there was ordered by the Assembly a meeting to be held at his house 13th of January next, to adjudge and audit all accounts between towns of Newport and Portsmouth, relating to late Indian wars.5
