Also Clem Lawson (presumably Old Clem b: ca. 1772) aquired land from a James Paxton (see also Paxon) in Rush Co., IN and we find the Manis, Lawson, Bloomer, Reason, Robinson, Hall, and a Bullen in the next county over - Madison Co.. Dalzel Manis first married Clem's daughter and named a son Curtis presumably after her brother Curtis (also a Hall family name along with Edmund) and a subgroup of this clan can be found in about 1840 and 1850 in Rush County, IN.
