From, "Rebels Rising: Cities and the American Revolution," by Benjamin L. Carp:

After a mob enter the mansion searching for stamped paper mandated by the Stamp Act, Mrs. Laurens was extremely distressed. Henry Laurens spent the next few days after the mob's search giving his pregnant wife constant attention at home. "The child, James, died ten years later, and Laurens would recall the 1765 incident and lament that misfortune followed the boy since before his birth."
