Surnames: Lawson, Anderson, Manis, Johnson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3196.1 Message Board Post: I wonder though whether this was Anna Lawson's father Thomas Johnson or the Thomas Johnson who owned a lot of property in Hawkins County, and moved to KY in the 1820s, and left Ashel Johnson as his attorney for property transactions? Given the "affection" that Anna's father had for Anderson Lawson, it seems unlikely that he would sue Anderson. It also seems to confirm that Anderson Lawson was the son or nephew of Thomas Lawson Sr. I believe that Clement Lawson testified in the divorce proceedings. David
