Go here and you can get more Lawson information. http://www.lawsondna.org/Pages/genealogy.html Go down to Timelines and you can see who was in which county and when. You get the idea that the Lawsons moved frequently, but instead new counties were formed from older counties and these individual were probably at the same physical location in many cases.

Of course, the one strike against her being married in the past is that the 1880 census has her as a single woman. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I have one married to Matilda Ashe, another married to Matilda Bedford and another married to Millie Roberts. I have come across about five of them. They all seem to be connected to VA. My Roberts were from Pittsylvania Co. (thereabouts) to Wise/Scott/Lee and into Claiborne/Hawkins/Hancock. In my ignorance, I have done a lot of work on people that are not connected to my Lawsons and I just can't stand to delete them.

I have been there, done that and have a 67 marker yDNA.  I do not want an mtDNA test.  My brother, John Ellis Lawson did the test for me.

I am guessing that Banks was an Uncle or possibly an older brother if his father was married multiple times. By the way, there is are twos good books online that discusses the emigration of the Palatinate Germans from PA to Rowan County NC (became Surry and Stokes) about 1750 (Section 12). There are free on google books. As you mentioned before, it was likely that Clement Lawson's wife was one of them. My own ancestor was the Palatinate Jacob Miller who settled in New Bern, NC in 1710.

The other Roberts connection was Stokely Lawson to Matilda/Mildred/Millie Roberts. John Monk is descended from some Roberts in the area (the Cornelius Roberts line) but I think these Roberts may be a different family.

They then moved to Grant Co., IN. Isom came to OH from VA and as far as I know, at this time, there is no association of this Lawson line to Paschal's line. Paschal Lawson is linked directly to Banks Lawson and, to Peter and Alem Lawson through a court record and the 1836 Hawkins Co., TN tax list with more of these "surnamed" Lawsons. Paschal's father and a number of these district 3 and district 4 Lawsons are unknown but the clues so far in the line of Paschal (b: 1813 - 1815) and our Clem (b: 1817 - 1821) are the names Clem, John, Andrew and Mahlon.

Remember that an older Stokely Lawson show up on the 1810 Lee County Tax list along with David Lawson. I presume that he is from that group of Lawsons. Stokely Lawson and Wallen Lawson were found living next to Thomas Lawson (likely the Thomas Lawson who married Nancy Wallen) from Lee County in 1840 Hawkins County, who was old enough to be their father. Just before 1850, Thomas Lawson married widow Susan Steven. In 1860 Hawncock County, Stokely was again found living next Stokely Lawson.
