I only have him in my file because of the Trent connection. If he had a pension file it would be in there. I am not absolutely sure about this, but I believe that his mother's estate named him as Christopher Columbus Pearson. There doesn't seem to be any record of him being named Richard, so I guess that could be a census error.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Pearson. Trent Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3344.1 Message Board Post: That is the Hawkins County tradition--he is usually listed in online genealogies as Christopher C. "Richard" Pearson or C. C. "Richard" Pearson or Christian C. "Richard" Pearson born about 1821. He reportedly married Eliza Jane Trent about 1852, daughter of Benjamin Trent. I don't know if there is any documentation that actually supports this or not. He was the son of Henry Pearson, but Henry's 1842 estate settlement documents clearly named his son as Christian C. Pearson. However, in 1850 he was using the name Christopher. I have always thought that the 1870 C. G. might be a census error--"C" and "G" sound very similar. The 1880 Richard Pearson is living right where he should be to be Christopher Pearson, and his older children are living around him. I haven't found a good explanation for why he was Richard in this census. Perhaps it is just a census error.

I went down yesterday to help work on these records, the Archive Project is set up to preserve the old records, not to do genealogy. They have to be cleaned, sometimes steamed, straightened out, put in folders and labeled. Unfair to me would be to leave these old records mixed in boxes with no way to ever find our foreparents. The people in Hawkins county who are working on these records are doing a fabulous job, it is going much faster than expected because of the wonderful volunteers who have faithfully stuck with this project. They are a great bunch of people. I think we'll all be helped when this is completed, it is exciting to think of what all we may find when they are done.

According to my notes, John's daughter Mary married John Robinson in 1846 in Hawkins Co. I've been away from this site for a while, but will be watching for further postings.

Without even seeing the volunteers in action, I would agree, just on what I know of Jack Goins from years of correspondence! We all just need to put on our "patience hats" and wait until they get the job done!

All are married to Eliza and all appear to be around the same age. Their childrens' names and ages in each of the censuses also lead me to the conclusion that they are the same person. Any thoughts?

Surnames: Lawson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3339.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks for that clarification. The only way we are ever going to crack the District 2 and District 3 Lawson nut is to find a document that states actually the relationship between Clement Sr, Burrell and Thomas Sr and/or their children if there is any. It is so funny. It is like Burrell, Banks and Hennis don't really exist. As far as I can tell, there are generally no voting, tax or court records for them except a few mentions in deeds or when they were witnesses. At least Thomas Sr's children were bad boys and we have a lot of court records on his children.

Surnames: Lawson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3339.1.1.2 Message Board Post: There were not very many Clems in Hawkins County. Banks Lawson had one in 1850, and the other one in 1850 living next to Banks may have belonged to Hennis Lawson. There is every reason to believe that Banks and Hennis Lawson were likely brothers--their children are stated in a pension file to be cousins. Banks and Hennis could have some association with the Clement Lawson who moved to Indiana before 1830. Clement was mentioned in a deed as previously owning the property in a transaction involving the Trents. This property was located near the property of Alexander Trent--which fits with the 1850 District 2 location of Banks Lawson. Burrell Lawson appears to have gone to Indiana along with Clement Lawson. A John Lawson, Lacey Lawson and Washington Lawson lived next to Burrell Lawson in District 2 before 1830 and also went to Indiana along with Clement Lawson. So, it is reasonable to think that this was a family group. From the information in a variety of documents, Alem appears to be a son of Thomas Lawson Sr, along with Peter Lawson, Meredith Lawson, Richard Lawson, John Jackson Lawson and Thomas Lawson Jr. There are also some records involving Anderson Lawson which suggest that Clement Lawson Sr and Thomas Lawson Sr were closely related. Thomas Lawson Sr was found in Hawkins County from about 1814 onward.

Similar situation w/capital D and L. Strictly speculation: Old Clem appears to have had only 2 or perhaps 3 sons per the censuses - 4 at most. 1800 (If he is the Samuel in Stokes Co., NC) 2 males b: 1790 - 1800 Edmund, Mason or Lacey ? 1810 Tax list - no adult males Curtis, maybe Mason or Lacey possibly Paschal. 1830 one male b: 1810 – 1815 (?), one male b: 1820 – 1925 (Curtis ?) Patmon also had 3 boys b: 1790 - 1800 who are unaccounted for. One may be Ambrose (the older) b: 1784 abt. another John who moved to Walker Co., AL and had a son named Patman / Patmon. Did the boys migrate with uncles ? Patmon disappears between the 1800 and 1810 census (did he leave a will ?) - if he died maybe brother Clem took his nephews along moving west (Lacey and Mason come to mind, maybe Alem and Richard). Sherrod (b: 1755 - 1765) also had only 2 males b: 1810 - 1820 who are unaccounted for (sons grandsons ?). Sherod may be related to / older brother or uncle of (?John / ?James) Burrell Lawson). Who are these two boys ? Did they migrate w/uncle / relative Burrell ?
