Evelyn This will not unconfuse you, but just rest assurred, I'm as confused as you. In a private email I'll send you an attachment about this family. It's not what I've been searching for, but until I find it, it'll do. For the list, this is what I found on the attachment I'm sending Evelyn, It doesn't give the date of James & Elizabeth "Betsy" Croley Lawson's marriage, but does give Henry's b as ca 1817. In here you notice is says Henry died in 1885 at the age of 68. I can't say if the person got the age by subtracting the 1817 from the death year of 1885, or if they had a death certificate. 229 i. Henry6 Lawson was born in Whitley Co., KY circa 1817. Henry died July 25, 1885 at 68 years of age. His body was interred in Elks Fork, Baptist Church, Campbell Co., TN. He married Sarah Rose September 27, 1841. The thing that has bothered me is Betsy was born in 1805. So many Lawsons wearing the same name has caused mass confusion. I can accept James getting married when he was about 17, but cannot accept Betsy being 12 years old. I'm still searching all these disk for the descendency chart. Wouldn't'cha have thought someone putting info on a disk would put more than just Lawson on a disk as a way of identifying the contents? There must be 15 of these disk for Lawson's alone.
