The census data strongly suggests it. This is such an unsual name that he has to be a child or a nephew. I believe that a Walker County Lawson--John Lawson from Stokes, NC--was tested and he is closely related to the Lawsons that are believed or known to be from Stokes County. I personally suspect that John Lawson from NC/AL was his father or grandfather. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
