They settled in Union Twp in Howard CO and in Wildcat twp in Tipton CO. Kokomo is the County seat of Howard CO. If you can give older dates I can see if there is any match. The original name was Catlett Lawson born about 1770 and is paying tax in Caroline County in about 1790. With two or three children he migrated to Mercer CO KY for 1820 census. When he went to KY he migrated with three other Lawson families... lived close to each other in 1810 census. One of the names was Lottie Lawson with children.
