He arrived in Logan Co VA/WV in 1838. He married Lucinda Pauley, but I have no record of a sister named Lucinda. Of course, that doesn't mean much as women were SO hard to research. Joseph Lawson's father was David Lawson and his mother was Sarah Lawrence. If this is your Joseph, I'd love to hear from you.
