All Just a quick response, I getting ready to go to work. I have some information on the children of Barnett MOON and Rosannah LAWLESS. The information is from the 1850 Census. Some of the surnames listed are members of the Monacan Nation of Virginia. Lawless, Burch, or they married into the tribe, Coleman, Grant, Moon. There was a Richard LAWLESS active in Amherst from 1785-1810. He was married twice. I do not know the name of his first wife, and I only have two children from his first marriage. His second marriage was to Elizabeth GOODRICH on 25 June 1785 in Amherst. I have four children listed from this marriage. It is believe by another researcher that there were more child from this marriage. Therefore, Rosannah LAWLESS may have been a daughter, it is also possible that Benjamin LAWLESS could be a son. There could be other possible parents for Benjamin but that will have to wait in my next email. I also have two possible marriages for Benjamin LAWLESS. Since I am presently out of the country until Jan 2001, researching this is a little difficult. Andy Lawless Descendants of Rosannah Lawless Generation No. 1 1.
