James Lawson had a very large family but many of them never married and lived with the brothers John and Michael. I have updated my tree with all the dates and names listed from the bible if you want to check it out, feel free. Coincidentally, the Lawson family graveyard where James and Elizabeth are buried is located in Mercersburg, PA. There farm is now the Whitetail Golf Course, the graveyard is located right in the middle of the course. My great great grandfather is Morgan's brother Michael Lawson. One of the brothers, Simon, moved to the Liberty, MO area and one of his son's Martin Lawson became a prominent attorney there and there is at least one book and an article about him online. My parents inherited some Lawson photos, I'm sure they have one of Morgan since there are photos depicting a young man circa 1880 postmarked Illinois but I can't be sure. Anyway, sorry it took 4 years to answer your post, but I can scan the entry from the family bible for you to lin! k to your page if you'd like.
