Note 134 — ASHTON’S MEMORIAL An History of the Strange Adventures, and Signal Deliverances of Mr. PHILIP ASHTON, Jun. of Marblehead

Lawrence Fabens served, unwillingly, on the schooner “Fancy,” under Low, but succeeded in escaping at St. Nicholas in the fall of 1722, shortly after Merritt escaped as is told elsewhere. He was probably the son of James and Johannah Fabians, born in Marblehead about 1702, where nine of his brothers and sisters were duly baptized in the First Church between 1688 and 1709.
