Thomas, John, Lilly, Clement, and Patmon Lawson and Randall Hall to Thomas Gains for land on Peters Creek. The deed does not say where they acquired the land, but they are obviously tenants in common. In Stokes County Deed Book 1:124, dated 18 May 1783, there is a state grant to John Lawson for 200 acres, which is the same 200 acres that is sold in Deed Book 5:160 with identical land description shown above. This John Lawson who is identified in the tax lists as John Lawson B.E. (Black Eye) to differentiate him from John Lawson G.P. (Goober Pea). John Lawson B.E. could be the John Lawson listed in the 1800 Stokes County Census who is over 45 years old. John Lawson B.E. children may have sold his land, 15 October 1803 and moved west? They could be the Thomas, John and Clement mention below. Not sure where Patmon Lawson moved to. The name Patmon was used by my relatives, John and Sarah Lawson, for one of their sons in Walker County, Alabama. John stated in a document that he was born in North Carolina but so far I am unable document where in NC. Here is the information I have collect from others for Clement. Thomas, John and Clement Lawson were enumerated in the 1810 Captain Looney District Tax list, Hawkins County, Tennessee. Thomas and John are on page 2 and Clement Lawson is on page 4. Clement Lawson paid taxes for 1 white poll tax. John Lawson paid taxes on 50 acres of land and 1 white poll tax. Clement and John Lawson were listed as privates in Captain Jones Griffin Company from Hawkins County, Tennessee. This company was a part of Colonel Samuel Bunch's 2nd Regiment of East Tennessee Militia. Clement was a private and it indicated he was drafted on 10 January 1814 and deserted 4 March 1814. It was interesting that many others of this unit also deserted. 1825 ca.
