Elizabeth LAWSON was born on 29 Sep 1733. John LAW and Elizabeth LAWSON had the following children: > > 1 i. Jesse LAW. > ii. Joell?

Kim, Do you have a Jeremiah Laws, b 1757, England? Also you might read "No Man Knows My History". You will find it very interesting.

I am going to be posting some older Laws obits that a kind person sent to me. She recognized the LAWS name as she was looking through some obit archives at her local library. She knew that I usually request Laws obits from her when she indexes them for the GEN-OBIT mailing list. I hope some of these are helpful to someone. If you get a hit, please let me know and I will forward her e-mail address to you. I am sure it would make her feel good to know she helped! Here is the first one: Joplin News Herald Joplin, MO June 24, 1941 SERVICES TOMORROW FOR BENNETT LAWS Picher, Okla., June 24 -- Funeral services for Bennett Laws, 41 years old, who died Saturday night of injuries received at the Lula Belle mine, near Hockerville, will be held at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Hockerville Baptist Church.

According to an official of the Guarantee Mining Company, it was incorrectly stated that Laws was fatally injured at the Guarantee No. 4 mine. After Laws was injured, he was removed from the ground through Guarantee's No. 4 shaft.

I am researching my Laws relatives from England to Utah. They were Mormon Converts from England and emmigrated to Utah. If you have any information I would be appreciative! Thanks! Kim Laws-Weeks

In a message dated 98-03-09 20:52:55 EST, you write: << To: [email protected] Please help,,,,my John's are getting confusing; Dear Lynn, Your note to the LAWS list was so cute! Perhaps now you know why I said in that note 30 minutes ago that I'd send out my gedcom file again in a few weeks when I have some things cleaned up. Your information "from several sources" may very well be a series of perpetuated errors which have been passed around. I think I can answer two problems right now. First, delete the Burwell middle name. It has not been proven to the satisfaction of the elder LAW genealogists. Second, Sr. and Jr. were added by others generations later. Now you have the problem of too many Johns with no distinction. Like someone told me a while back, our ancestors were not very creative when it came time to pass out given names.

Nancy, I only have the Laws in TN that were listed in my previous note, I too am looking for more info on them & trying to find a connection to the MS bunch. I'm a descendant of the MS bunch, through Ida Laws, sister to Nancy Hernandez' Minnie Laws. Don't give up posting folks! I'd posted my info months ago w/ no results, saw a few newbies & decided to re-post. Found Nancy who even has pictures!! Sorry to gloat but this NEVER happens to me!!!

Hello, I am looking for any information on a LAWS who married a Thomas Cottingham(1732), who's father might have been Elijah Laws. And also a Mary Laws, who married Thomas's (1732) son Elijah Cottingham (1762). This would have all occured in Worcester or Somerset Counties Maryland. Bob Schulz (Cottingham List Owner)

Lynn, According to the Raney notes in Roanoke Library; John Born 1722 f source from Bristol parish Register John Jr born 1747 date of birth from pension application John lll born about 1772 from Census records. He very well could have ben married twice. Mr. Raney does not list any children for him. In colonial times Sr. sometimes meantthe oldest in that area bythat name. If there were cousins who had the smae given first name the tax lists sometimes referred to them as "son of". Just as today once the elded of one name pases away it wasthe practice for Jr. to become Sr. Hope that I ahven't confused you. Who sent you the middle name of Burwell for John born 1722? Did they lst a Source? Every bit of information helps. Susan
