The connections back beyond this particular Lawrence Kavanagh are uncertain. His father’s name is unknown for now. There is likely a relationship to this Lawrence of St. Peter’s but it may be as a cousin.
If he is the son of Lawrence, he would have been born before 1778 and died in 1830. He would also have been a member of the legislative assembly and would have run the store at St. Peter’s and his wife’s name was Felicité LE JEUNE.
