Brenda, I am the granddaughter of Madison Thompson Lawson, daughter of Turner Madison Lawson.  Can you fill me in on your parents names, etc.  I have written a book on my descendants, but I have hit a brick wall right now.  The William Lawson, father of James Lawson is listed in the Lawson bible as having died in 1844. Hope to hear from you.
