This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: lawsontechnical Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/37.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I too am descended from Isaac and John A, and I am up against the same brick wall. I have participated in the Lawson DNA project (lawsondna.org) and Isaac's line has only one 37 point match w/me and that individual has no data beyond three generations. Sarah, Isaac's wife, was married at least once before. I have a record from the NJ archives where she receives the net pay due to her son, Andrew Hotalen, who was killed in the Civil War in 1864. John A also served in the Civil War, in the 35th NJ Voluteer Regiment. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
