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.
