Author: burllawson43 Surnames: Lawson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.lawson/3496.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Please give me any background information on this Lawson (dates, where lived, maybe where from, etc.) as this is the same first name as my father (Leamon B. Lawson) and I have not seen it before anywhere in the Lawson research area. He was from Carroll County, Virginia born in 1924. Maybe just a goose chase, but I have not been able to get anyone in the family to share where/how this name originated. I am named after him so am doubly interested in this coincidence?
