My belief is that he was the son of Mormon by a previous wife. The DNA data support that idea. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I will track down the records. Now, we do have one Lawson confirmed to be a Willis. A family story said that Rufus Lawson, son of Sarah Manis, widow of Palestine Lawson, was the son of Iredell Willis. The DNA data confirm that the Rufus line was Willis. Often family stories are wrong, but in this case it appears to be correct. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Another reason is that James Willis was prominent in prosecuting L&A females in Hawkins County. I guess it could have been a covering act, but I am not sure. There is no record of this group in the 1836 census. My strong suspicion is that Piney was a Willis--natural or stepchild and that James Willis was her brother or uncle or cousin. Several Willis males went off to Alabama. She could be related to one of those. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My husbands ancestor was Benjamin Floyd Lawson [ he had a brother Francis called Frank]. He lived in Madison Co., NC but their father was Elijah from Hawkins Co., Tn. Several Lawsons from Tenn. enlisted in Madison Co with Floyd. It was a Conf. outfit and Floyd died in the service. Francis may have enlisted with then. Your Francis was not Floyds brother.

I think it is our William Howe that I've located in Claiborne Co., TN / Tazewell near Bryson Gibson and a couple of other interesting names in 1830 or 1840 and then appears to be in Lee Co., VA just before going to Ohio. Andrew Roberts was married to Polly (Mary) Howe in 1834 in Hawkins Co., went to Ohio then Nodaway Co., MO by 1870. Mary/Polly died very old and death cert says she was born in Tazewell, TN. William Howe is not an easy name to pidgenhole... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I donh't remember which county but next to the Lawsons in Pike Co., OH. John Monk who was living with our Paschal Lawson in 1850 (s/o Shadrack and names a sons Shadrack/Shady, Larkin etc.) lines all go to Pike Co., OH and bordering counties of Jackson, Lawrence and Scioto with (with a Larkin & Dauswell Rodgers, plus James, Moses and Samuel also found in Lawrence Co. by 1840). Later Preston Lawson m: Lydia Burch - s/o ?Elisha Lawson of White Co. and others in Indiana appears in Pike Co., OH, Benton Township. Since our Lawsons - through the Roberts-Howe connection were related to the Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Howe) Burk of Pike Co., OH (also from TN)- maybe Burk is german "Burch". Preston's father Elisha Lawson (m: Rader) and has neighbouring "Burch" family in IN. Elisha's family seem to have come from the "south of the Holston river Lawsons" as did the Rader/Raeder/Roeder family near the Greene Co. line.
