Indian ancestry at all. As far as I can tell, most Lawson Indian stories originated in the 1890s when the Guion-Miller role was being constructed and money was being offered to those whose "lands" were appropriated by Whites. As far as I can tell, the DNA data confirm there was no Indian ancestry. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
