This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: LAWSON, PLUMLEY, LAWRENCE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZCC.2ACE/1264.1 Message Board Post: This family is extremely difficult to reseach. There is very little documentation available, or at least very little that has been found and it is quite possible that the mother of William "Buck" Lawson is not Sarah Lawrence or Kessiah Unknown. David Lawson was married at least twice and in addition to Kessiah and Sarah, the name Catherine has surfaced as a possible spouse. The only documented marriage is to Lovice "Lovey" Plumley in 1862. Several people are working very hard on this line and may make a break-through eventually, but I've researched David Lawson for twenty years and know almost as little about him now as I did when I began. I really hope you have more success than I have had.
