Surnames: Johnson and Lawson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3339.2 Message Board Post: I have seen mention of this Abner but he cannot be the same one. MY Abner was born in 1833 in Indiana and married a Charlotte Lawson in 1854 in Hawkins County. This Abner is the son of Stephen Johnson and the grandson of Thomas Johnson. The only thing I know about Thomas is he was married to an Elizabeth. He had one son and that was Stephen and Stephen was dead prior to 1854. I have wondered if the two Abners were related maybe uncle and nephew. I just have not been able to locate any proven information on Abner and Thomas. My Abner had a brother named Thomas, probably born about 1835 in Indiana.
