On page 545 in the appendix of "The Babcock Genalogy"
by Stephen A. Babcock, we find:
"Records of the Family of GEORGE LAWTON, father of MARY LAWTON,
BABCOCK, copied from `The Ancestors and Descendants of Rev. Henry Clark'
by Cyrus Clarke Van Deventer, 1902. The LAWTONS were an `armorial' family
if we may so infer from a seal used by some of its members in the early days of
the Colony. This seal bore as its device a demi-fox, salient, with a motto on a
ribbon, Liberte, toute entiere. The English home of the emigrant was in Yorkshire.
The first of the name of whom we have knowledge, GEORGE LAWTON, arrived
in New England in 1634, and is found in Rhode Island a few years later. He died
Oct. 5, 1693, and was interred in his orchard at Portsmouth, Rhode Island; he
married ELIZABETH, daughter of THOMAS and MARTHA(???)HAZARD.
In 1638 he was admitted an inhabitant of Acquidneck. April 30, 1639 he was
one of the incorporators of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Jan. 25, 1648 he was given
a grant of forty acres of land; 1648 member of the Court of Trials; 1655 Freeman;
1665,72,75-80 deputy to the Assembly. Assistant to the Governor 1680 to 1690."
