For those of you who've been around for awhile you probably remember Lois Tonoff. She researched the Lawson family. Lois passed away early this morning. I understand from my good friend Shirley Seiting that she passed peacefully in her sleep.

Hi - I appreciate your writing me - but I can't find the e-mail either.  It may have been re: Daniel Lawson farm in Cades Cove, Tennessee. I saw some e-mail that discussed that.  My Grandfather was born in that area and his name is Daniel Lawson.  We have lost track of some of his people and I wondered if there could have been a connection to our family.  He died in about  1947 or 1948....
