Our Lawsons left Scott Co VA in 1838 and went to Logan Co VA/WV and stayed in that area. Yes, the Q Haplogroup indicates Native American, so our male line is Indian, most likely Cherokee. They are not on any rolls. We do have 2 DNA matches with other surnames. The oldest appears to be Crowe, but that line hasn't been traced any further back than 1850 KY. The other surname is Hooker and that family had been traced back to Patrick/Henry Co VA 1750. We don't know how or when the connection happened. Maybe as early as the 1600s.
