First of all does anyone know where Taylorville is? and second, does anyone have access to Maury County census records that might show any of these Lawsons? Thomas and Susan Lawson may not be in Maury County but John (married to Elizabeth McNabe) Lawson was for sure. Elizabeth did not live very long, only had one child John Lawson, Jr. John Lawson, Sr then married to Emma Brooks. John Lawson, Jr is my great-grandfather, Ed Lawson of Lewis County was my grandfather. Thanks for any help.
