Author: drdjones Surnames: Lawson, Manis Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/6766.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The father is listed as Russell Manis on the death certificate. That poses an interesting problem, since there was a Russell Manis who later took the name Russell Lawson in Hawkins County, Tennessee. He was 19 and Anna Manis was 25 in 1850 and Rhoda Manis Lawson was 6, so it is possible this Russell was the father. Statements of the descendents of Russell Lawson, as well as deed records of Hawkins County from the 1850s and 1860s Hawkins County show that Russell Manis/Russell Lawson was really William Russell Lawson, who was the son (apparently stepson) of Peter Lawson, the son of Thomas Lawson Sr. There is a court suit from the 1840s in Hawkins County in which an Anna Manis was prosecuted for lewd behavior. John Manis Sr was on the Grand Jury. John Manis Sr was the grandfather of the children of Anna Manis. Now, another child of Anna Manis, Amanda Lawson, indicated that her father was George Manis. So, it is also possible that the fathers were made up to cover and illegitima! te birth. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

He was the son of William Lawson and Sarah Hinton daughter of William Robert Hinton and Mary. They were in Va. in January 1779 but in Tn. right after that so there is a question as to his birth place. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Author: bobmclaren1 Surnames: Lawson, MacLaren Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/3432.2.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Have you considered DNA testing to see how you fit in with the many Lawson families? I see that your birth surname is Lawson. If you are a male, you could do the test (on the Y-chromosome, the male sex chromosome). If you are female, then one of your male Lawson relatives would have to be the one to test. However, if a close relative, second cousin or closer, has already tested, then there is no need to test. By doing this, you will learn what families you relate to, thereby gaining some insight as where to look for further inforamtion. You also learn what families you do not relate to. There is a Lawson Surname DNA Project and a MacLaren Surname DNA Project (Lawson is a Clan surname) that you can join.
