We try to help one another and posting like your helps to get other to thinking about what they have. I would point out that you can find a great deal of information about these Lawsons at the following website: - http://lawsondna.org/Pages/genealogy.html There is also some question as to who John Lawson's father is. It could be Bartholomew but it may be that Bartholomew is his grandfather? Here is some information on John Lawson: - 1778 Henry County, Virginia Tax list lists: James Lawson, William Lawson, Moreman Lawson, John Lawson and David Lawson. 1779 Henry County, Virginia Tax list lists: David Lawson, William Lawson, Moreman Lawson, William Lawson and Jonas Lawson. 1780 Henry County, Virginia Tax list lists: David Lawson, William Lawson, William (Big Billey) Lawson, John Lawson, David Lawson, Jonas Lawson. David, David Jr., Nathaniel Lawson and John Shelton were enumerated in James McFarlin District in the 1805 Grainger County, Tennessee Tax List. Also, listed in the 1805 Grainger County, Tennessee Tax List in Alexander Hamilton's District is a John Lawson, 1 Free Poll (FP) tax. In this same District is a David Fields - 1 FP, 100 acres tax, Archebel Hopper - 200 acres, Charles Hopper - 1 FP, 200 acres and Thomas Hopper - FP. Information from Fourth Survey District of Tennessee 1808-1810, John McClellan surveyor, compiled by James L. Douthat in 1988. Included Anderson, Bledsoe, Campbell, Knox, Overton, Rhea, Roane Counties in Tennessee, page 160, dated 8 September 1808. It had in this listing David, John, Robert, Randolph, William and Jacob Lawson. Surveyed for Timothy Sexton, 142 acres of land in Anderson County on the west side of New River opposite to the mouth of Buffalo. Entry, page 222, dated 27 July 1808, surveyed for James Green 103 acres of land in Anderson County on New River. Adjacent to Charles Pruit and John Lawson. Another entry, page 223, dated 28 July 1808, surveyed for Joseph Stout 86 acres of land in Anderson County on Smokey Creek waters of New River. Adjacent to Michael Lows, John Lawson and Thomas Hix. Another entry, page 237, dated 28 July 1808, surveyed for Henry Goodman 60 acres of land in Anderson County on Smokey Creek waters of New River. Adjacent to ______ and John Lawson. Another entry, page 242, dated 28 July 1808, surveyed for Thomas Hix 121 acres of land in Anderson County on both sides of New River on the west bank of Smokey Creek. Adjacent to John Lawson and Joseph Stout. I believe most of this land where the Lawson's were mention was in Campbell County? John was a resided in Cumberland County, North Carolina when he enlisted. He lived in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee after the war. Applied for pension in Morgan County, Tennessee. John Lawson is enumerated in the 1830 Morgan County, Tennessee Census, page 101a. In his household are 1 male 15-20 years, 1 male 70-80 years (John), 1 female 20-30 years and 1 female 70-80 years (Anna). Next door to him is William Lawson who I believe is his son. In 1830 Morgan County, Tennessee contained parts of Cumberland County and Scott County. In Lawson Letters, Newsletter #12, page 88, it indicates that it had not been proven that John had any sons or daughters. However, Phillip Lawson indicated that John and Randolph Lawson were both born in Virginia. He indicated he may be wrong but he thinks John 'Black Eye' Lawson (brother of Jonas and Bartley) is the father of Randolph and John Lawson. Randolph went to Clinton County, Kentucky and John went to Morgan County, Tennessee, some distance from Hawkins County, Tennessee. (I do not agree with the above researcher in a number of his conclusions!) Randolph's family migrated from Virginia to North Carolina about 1751. John Lawson, a brother of Randolph, gave his birth place as Bedford County, Virginia, on his application for a pension for military service during the Revolutionary War, but that county was not created until after the family left Virginia, so he was probably born in either Albemorle or Lunenburg Counties, which are the parent counties of Bedford County. Lawson Newsletter #30, page 299. The following information is from John Lawson's application for a pension, filed 16 April 1833 in Morgan County, Tennessee: That he was born in Bedford County, Virginia and was 78 years old when giving information. (Born about 1755-56 if information is correct.) Lived in Cumberland County, North Carolina but could not remember the dates because of his age and loss of memory. While living in Cumberland County he enter the service, in the fall or early part of winter, as a substitute (as a private) for David Lawson (one reseacher indicated this was Daniel but the document I have reads David). His officers were Capt. Charles Gholston, Lt. Smith, Col. Buttus and General Linelton at Elizabeth Town, march from Elizabeth Town to Willmington, was at Willmington for two months, then marched to Columbia, stayed about 15 days, then marched to Raft Swamps for a battle there and then marched to Guilford and station there until the battle fought by General Nathanael Greene and Lord Cornwallis (the battle at Guilford Court House took place 15 March 1781). Then marched to Keillsboro for that battle, then to Crofs Creek where he was station for about 2 months. Marched to Elizabeth Town and then after Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown (19 October 1781) he was march to Salem where he was discharged after serving 11 months. Discharge papers where consumed by fire in his father's house which burnt. In the application for a pension filed by Nathaniel Milton, the following was stated by John Lawson: - I John Lawson residing in the County of Morgan hereby certify that I was well acquainted with Nathaniel Melton who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration, when he was in the services of the United States under Capt Mark [?] in North Carolina but does not know when he left the services nor the regiment or line to which he belonged that said applicant is about 73 years of age that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood where he resides to have been a soldier of the revolution and that I concur in that opinion subscribed & sworn to in open court of his. JOHN LAWSON, X his mark April 16th 1833 Thomas S Lea, Clerk The following information is from Anna Lawson's application for a pension, filed 24 December 1838 in Morgan County, Tennessee: >From what I could gather from the many pages, there was a problem with the date of marriage. in the first documents she indicated she was married in 1775 and then in an amended document she indicated she was married 1782. In 1838 Anna stated she was 81 year old (born about 1757) and that their marriage took place on the 4th Sunday in January, the precise day of the month not remembered and about 6 years before the Battle of Guilford in North Carolina. She indicated she had John, Betsey and Joshua Lawson before said battle. That she believe the marriage took place in 1775. Married by Parson Newman at the house of John Heart in the edge of Stokes County, North Carolina. That she was his wife until he died 4 January 1838 and had not remarried. John Lawson received a pension at the rate of $36.66 per year. They had been married "a little upward of 6 years" before the Battle of Guilford in North Carolina where John had servied. Stated John was a private in the Army of the Revolution and had recieved a pension while living. They had three children before this battle and their names were John, Betsey, and Joshua Lawson. Indicated John died 4 January 1838 in Morgan County, Tennessee. Anna was 81 year old the best she could calculate since she had no records of her birth. Melinda Lawson, age 41 year, a daughter of John and Anna, appeared before the Morgan County Clerk, on the same day, and stated the above was true. She also stated her parents had ll additional children, making a total of 14 (only 10 were listed in the documents). In another application, filed 20 February 1840 in Morgan County, Tennessee, Anna states the following: That she was the wife of John Lawson and married him in 1775. That John's brother, Randolph Lawson, was two year younger than John. That she was a cousin to John and Randolph Lawson. Listed their children as Betsey, John, Joshua, Lydia, Patsey, Runels, William, Staples and Melinda. Indicated Melinda was about 44 years old and the oldest, Betsey, was 64 or 63 years old. That they had 3 or 4 children before the close of the Revolutionary War. In another document, Randolph states he was present at his brother's marriage to Anna on the edge of Stokes County, the 4th Sunday of January 1775. They must have moved shortly after to Cumberland County, North Carolina. In an amended document dated 19 April 1844 much of the above was restated but in this document it indicated that they were married January 1782? In another document dated 21 February 1845 they tried to correct this date. Not sure if she ever got the pension? Tennessee Pension Roll of 1835 John Lawson of Morgan County, private, North Carolina Line, $36.66 annual allowance, $109.98 amount received, 17 June 1833 pension started, age 79.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: carlllawson Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/6719.3/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I agree with Carol that there has been no proof that John Lawson on New Kent County, VA was the father of William Lawson of Falling River. There were 3 Lawsons in New Kent County, VA at this time, John, Nicholas and Jonas. We do not know what happen to John and Nicholas but we do know that Jonas Lawson moved with his family to Goochland County, VA and lived there a number of years. It could be possible that he is the father of William but again no proof. We know that William's son Bartholomew's wife, Susannah Simkins' family lived in Goochland County during a period of time that Jonas and his family were there. Also I do not believe that Epaphroditus Lawson (son of Rowland and Letitia Lawson) of Lancaster County, VA (abt 1644?) was the father of John Lawson above. Epaphroditus died young in Lancaster County, VA some time before 8 May 1661 as shown by the following: - Lancaster County, VA, Orders and etc., Book 1655-1666, page 142 - Court 8 May 1661. Epaphroditus Lawson, deceased, son of Rowland, deceased, dyeing intestate and leaving a small stock of cattle behind him being part of his father's estate upon the petition of Lettice his mother in respect of the ______ & smallness of her husband's estate, it is ordered that she may dispose of the said cattle towards the payment of some small debts of her said son and the good of her self and children. Lastly, in our Lawson DNA Project we do have one member who shows his line of Lawsons going back to Thomas Lawson and his wife Mary Sisson who lived in Lancaster County, VA or the Tidewater Area of Virginia. It is believe that this Thomas Lawson was related to Rowland Lawson through his son Richard Lawson but has not been documented yet. This member's Halogroup is R1a1. There are a number of Lawsons that can document their line back to William Lawson of Falling River and their Halogroup is I1. This would indicate that William Lawson is not related to the Roland Lawson line that we find in the Tidewater Area of VA.

Since there are a lot of questions & info being discussed on this site, I want to check and see if someone will agree with me. or tell me I am way off base. This is what I want to prove: Did Bartholomew & Susannah (Simkins) Lawson have a daughter Elizabeth, that married George Rogers??? George & Elizabeth (Lawson) Rogers named their first sons William and Bartlett. George Rogers' father was William Rogers. Which would make them naming their first sons after their fathers. Did this William Rogers marry Bartholomew's sister Lecia Lawson??? This would make George & Elizabeth (Lawson) Rogers cousins, (or something). Marrying cousins was not that unusual in those days. The Lawson and Rogers families did live in the same area. Thanks for any help. Mary **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
