    3. Thank you Wanda for the welcome to the Laws Mailing List. I am researching the Henry Law line to help a local woman get into the DAR. Her cousin has the lineage written out but does not have all the proof. Henry Law received a Revolutionary War Pension (S31196). He enlisted while he lived in Henry County VA and was living in Russell County KY when he applied for the pension on October 14, 1833. In the application, Henry states he was born January 4, 1759 in Henrico County VA. The lady I am trying to help is a descendant of Henry's son, Coleman Law. Coleman was supposedly born in May 1783 in Henry County, VA and died 17 Feb 1850 in Russell County, KY. He married Susannah Sutherland on 3 April 1806 in Franklin County, VA. What I need is proof (probate record, etc.) that Coleman is child of Henry. Is anyone else working on this line? I found this line on Ancestral File at Family History Center. Wrote to contributor who seemed to think may woman had used Henry Law as Revolutionary Ancestor for application to DAR and that DAR had erected a monument to Henry and his wife, Milley, at Webs Cross Roads where they are buried. I wrote DAR to see why they were not listed in Patriot Index. Reply indicated Henry Law has never been proven. All help, clues appreciated. Margaret in Springfield, MO
