Thank you, This Lawson family was Cherokee according to my grandmother. Drewry Lawson was said to be half brother of Benge! Thank goodness Benge left no ofspring! He was a notorius killer in the 1790's. I have no proof yet, but it is supposed to be coming by mail. Drewry was born in Pittsylvania, Va, then was living in Henry Co., Va at the time he enlisted in the Rev. War. I need to find some documentation that will help others understand about who the Melungeon people are and I should have done that before I posted the list. I already have one person who wants more information about them. My husband and I have some friends in Charleston, SC who are Lumbee's. Leon Locklear is a full blood Cherokee and his wife Elsie is one 1/4 cherokee, 1/2 Lumbee, 1/4 white. True Melungeon. Mary
