If you look at the 1800 Surry County, NC, census, Thomas Lawson (who we all think must be her father), was born between 1750-1760 (from memory). There is a Thomas Lawson born about 1780 over in Stokes County, but his children are accounted for and the Thomas Lawson in Surry County is a separate one. Lately, I've been wondering if Ursula's and Elizabeth's father could be a William. Any thoughts on that? If we can find a descendant of Ursula to DNA test, we would be able to see if he/she matches anyone already in the Lawson FTDNA data base. I am a co-administrator of that project. I am told the mtDNA is passed down from the mother to both daughters and sons. My email address is genierose69@gmail.com.
