If the family cluster was in a multiple adjoining area they would be in either: Southern corner is 2, 3, 10 and 11 Northern corner is 3, 4, 10 and 9 On to Jonas... Jonas Lawson in 1830 Hawkins Co. appears to NOT be the Jonas in 1840 Hawkins Co. census as he has a different family and ages. He may be related a cousin or nephew. The Jonas in 1840 Pulaski exactly fits the 1830 Hawkins Jonas who is later married under the name James (unless the transcription is misread). Pulaski Co., KY Marriages LAWSON, James to Phebe Morgan on 10 Dec 1853 (he was widowed, she was married previously). [this James is also found in census as Jonas in 1860] Could Aaron in 1810 Pulaski Co., be Patmon of Stokes Co. ? The Burrell Lawson in Pulaski was in TN and back in NC for a short time before 1850 and 1860 before Pulaski Co.
