Hoping someone out there may be researching WASHINGTON McKENRIC LAW. Born 1820-Tenn. Married 1. Abigail Colcord Jan. 15, 1845 in Whiteside Co., Illinois 2.Lorena D. Colcord Oct. 18, 1865 in Whiteside Co., Illinois. I have list of his children by his first wife. Don't know when or where he died. Would love to hear from anyone who might help. Rhea

Please help,,,,my John's are getting confusing; >From several sources I have received the following info: John burwell Law Sr. b 1722 has a son John Burwell Law Jr b 1748 John Burwell Law III born 1759, which would make his father 11 at the time of his birth John Burwell Law III born 1772 which I guess is correct. Now on to the John b. III, I have one source viaRoots list marring a Mary Phillips, Franklin Co. Va., Nov 4, 1844 (he would be around 77) and the same John marring a Mary Ferguson on April 2, 1827, haven't any children yet. My question...how to you know when to put who where? guess you can tell I'm new at this. Thanks Lynn email [email protected]

To: Cindy Owens & other LAWS researchers: Cindy, I read your list of LAWS members from Tennessee and wonder if you have run across any of my Tennessee folks?? My Grt,Grt Grandmother - Martha Elizabeth Laws was born in Claiborne County, Tennessee on May 11, 1868. I have one report saying her parents were Salem C. Laws and Mary Eubanks. Salem was from Virginia or North Carolina. I have nothing on them...or anything more about my Martha Elizabeth!! I do know she was left on the doorstep of two "old maid" sisters, but don't know who they were. Do you have my Martha Elizabeth or her parents in your info? Martha married William Fletcher King, and they later moved to Ryan, Oklahoma. Would appreciate any help! Thank you!! Nancy Clayton P.O. Box 153 Utopia, TX 78884 email [email protected]

To Cindy Owens. Read your listing interested in a Benjamin Laws,and Minnie Laws,who was married to Ira Warren Bankston,from Mississippi. They are my great grandparents. E-mail me at [email protected], I may be able to help you more. Nancy Hernandez

I have a Sarah Law b. 4 Jul 1860/61 in Washington County, PA. Parents are Thomas R. Law b. 1820-1830 in PA and Margaret Jane Walker b. 25 Dec 1853 possibly in WV or Germany. This isn't much and I don't have any other information, but the name may run in the family. Let me know if this leads to anything for you. Roberta [email protected]

Hello, Well, I have little information but found from my ggrandfather's (Seth Hendricks) death certificate that his father was James Hendricks and mother was Sarah Law. Seth, according to the certificate, was born in Sharon, Mercer Co., PA. in 1847. I have been unable to find any record of them in the Census of Mercer for 1850 or 1860. In 1870 Seth was living with his wife in Allegheny Co., PA and lived there until his death in 1927. It is possible that Sarah Law lived in OH before her marriage. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If you have an unidentified Sarah Law in PA., maybe this is mine. Jim Hendricks email: [email protected] >

THANKS....... I can't wait to try it...would love to get a copy of my ancestor's birth record... P.S. How to I post a message to the roots list, first timer. Lynn Law Baker email [email protected]

Dear Derek, I checked the Raney notes on John Laws, Sr. descendants that remained in Va for at least one generation. There was no Benjamin Or Elbert in the Families of John, Jr., Burwell, Danile Henry or David. The famileisof Jesse and William are not coverend very well at all since they left the area in late 1790's or early 1800's. there are however descendants of both of these sons on this list. I could not find any mention of MS either. I just thought that I would let you know that someone had checked. Susan in CT

Hi to All! Since I see so many newcomers I'd like to repost my info. This will be long so delete now if you don't have southern Laws. Below is what I know for sure on the first 2 generations of my line in MS. My direct line is through Ida & George DeLapp, on the latter census records Ida gives MS as her parents birthplace, however on the 1860/70 census she & her siblings were not living w/ their parents. I might also add it's not written in stone that Anna's surname was indeed Taylor. There were 2 other Laws families in the county in the 1870 census, can't connect them. That info is also below . It seems that there were a ton of Laws in TN, does anyone know of anyone leaving c1830-1840 & losing track of them? I'm esp. interested in Benjamin & Elbert LAWS found in the Carter Co., TN census index. Ida Laws had a grandson by the name Elbert , he's my grandfather. Elbert was an uncommon name in MS so am curious. Thanks for reading all this!!! Descendants of Unknown Laws 1 Unknown Laws b: MS .. +Anna Taylor b: MS Father: Mother: . 2 Ida B.
