Lawson. Waitman FRAZIER'S daughter, Eliza, married to William LAWSON. He and Eliza raised my Great-Grandfather, Rufus. Rufus was born 29 November, 1865, at Eidson, Hawkins Co., Tenn., the "natural child" of Sarah (MANIS) LAWSON and Iredell Campbell WILLIS. Sarah was the widow at the time of Palestine LAWSON. Palestine was "bushwhacked" near Rogersville, Hawkins Co., Tenn. while away (without permission from the Union Army, 8th Tennessee Regiment. He died in September, 1865. Rufus was raised as a son of William and Eliza (FRAZIER) LAWSON, with my Rufus taking the LAWSON surname as his own. Would you share with me what you have on Waitman FRAZIER'S family please? Thank you Sam D. Lawson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
