Surnames: Lawson, Banks Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3217.2.1.1.1 Message Board Post: This new information provides a "polite" way of bypassing the proposition that Banks and Hennis were the sons of Burrell Lawson. The records that I have looked at seems to suggest that Burrell's oldest children were Martin and Washington Lawson. I don't know how Lacy Lawson fits into this or how Burrell was related to Clement Lawson. I wonder if it is possible that Lacy Lawson was the widow of Sherwood/Sherrod Lawson. That could easily get us out of the "Banks" problem. The only Clems seem to be Clem son of Edward, Clem son of Banks, and Clem living next to Banks in 1850 who seems to be the missing son of Hennis. Perhaps Clem living next to Banks in 1850 still has some descendents in Kentucky, where he moved to after 1860.
