Thanks Wanda, My name is Eddie Auld. I'm researching the Laws family that ended up in Graves County KY. I'm trying to find the parents of my ggGrandfather George W. Laws who I believe is the son of George Laws JR of Orange County NC. George Jr had a son named George born in 1852 which is the date of my ggGrandfather birth. I would appreciate any help to verify this.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/QAw.2ACIB/345.1.1 Message Board Post: My father is a great-grandson of Henry LAWS and lived with him as a child in Rogue River, OR. Henry died when he was 6 years old. Family lore has it that William LAWS (b. 1824 in Hilgay, Nfk) came first to New York and was employed working on building the subway system in the early 1850s. He was followed a year or two later by his wife Alice HARPER (b. in Feltwell) and son Henry b. 1844 in Feltwell, Nfk). They then moved on to first Dane County Wisconson and then around 1865, after Henry came back from the Civil War, moved to Wells, Farribault County, Minnesota. Henry met and married Harriet Ann CRAW (b. 1847, Greenbush, NY) at Minnesota Lake, Minn. on the fourth of July, 1867. The CRAW's were living in Minnesota. Around 1893, The clan including grand parents William & Alice LAWS, Henry & Harriet LAWS and children, and Earl ANTHONY who married Henry & Harriet's daughter Ada LAWS and their child all moved to Rogue River (Woodenville), Oregon. Most are burried there. As far as Alice HARPER's family, I know nothing. Mager LAWS (b. 1816 in Hilgay, Nfk) can be found living in Methwold on the 1851 census along with his wife Meriah (b.1814, Lakenheath, Sfk) and children Elenor, Ann, Mager, William, and Carolin. They are two entries away from Henry and Alice LAWS so must have been living next to each other. I have always suspected a link as both males are LAWS from the small village of Hilgay and based on the births of their children, were living in Feltwell at the same time as long as Methwold. As a side note, on the 1851 census, a nephew Robert TURNER b. 1853 in Upwell, Nfk is living with WIlliam, ALice & son Henry LAWS. I know nothing of him. john@laws.tc

I sent messages to the 2 new email addresses below. This is what I said: I'm researching the Laws who came from Colorado to California around 1904. The father was William H Laws, mother Ida Dow. Children were: William C. Laws, Claude Victor Laws (1881 Colorado-1990), Earl Grant Laws, Nora Laws Wallace, Hazel Laws Buell, Mabel Laws Borg I'm the granddaughter of Hazel Laws. Her daughter, Ida Mae Buell is now 87 and still going strong in San Clemente, CA. I spent a lot of time with Mabel Laws Borg growing up and some with Nora. I also met Claude and wife Mamie a few times. I tried to work on this leg of the family tree 20 years ago, but ran into problems getting anything on the Laws, so basically did my mother's father's side (Buell) only. However, I have a lot of photos I could scan and share if anyone is interested. I've checked some other Laws web sites to see what might be useful, but can't seem to connect to this particular line. There is another William Laws who married Minne Schulte and had a son, Claude, and moved to California, but it isn't the same Claude. Our William Laws married Ida Dow and had the 6 children above. After she died, he married again (not sure of the name, but mom might know). He died in 1928 in Los Angeles. Any other information would be appreciated.

I too was looking for ancestors of Lindsey Laws. It is actually Lindsey D. Laws. His father was Wm. Sr. and his mother was Appia Sumner. William was the son of Moses and Hester. Hester, I believe was the daughter of Bolitha Laws and Leah Sturgis. Moses was the son of Wilson from the info I have so far. Wilson and Moses were in Surrey and Onslow Counties in N. C. Does that help any? Carlene Morgan
