    3. I found a listing in the 1900 census for an Alvin D Lawson in West Virginia. There is a listing for a son born in Oct of 1881 but it is listed as Harley. I believe this is a good match since Albert's son was Alvin. Mistakes like this do occur on names in census listings (nicknames, etc are found instead of a 'given' name). Look at it and see if this is not a good candidate for his family. Alvin was born in 1849 in West Virginia and his wife was Sarah A ? Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <LAWSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 11:23 PM Subject: Re: [LAWSON] Lawson's of Ohio > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: LindaMeadOtte > Surnames: Lawson/Jones > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/2025.2028/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > I am working on the Lawson family for anothe relative.
