Author: waroper Surnames: Roper, Lawson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/1698.7/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Frank: Have you ever taken a look at the William LAWSON Patent in Brunswick dated 20 Aug 1745? William LAWSON's purchase or settlement there seems to have been contemporaneous with the Brunswick Patent of John ROPER dated 01 Aug 1745. See my prior post: "Other Brunswick VA Patents on Bryery/Briery Creek or Contemporaneous in Time with John ROPER's 1745 Patent" http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.roper/489.2/mb.ashx Images of the William LAWSON patent ought to be available online at the website of the Virginia State Library. * It might be a good idea to get a look at the extant Brunswick Deed Books as well as Personal Property Tax records to see whether LAWSONS continued to be present in Brunswick later.
