Not sure who you mean by "he", is that William or Uriah? The civil war ended in 1865, William Lawson was born in 1850, too young for the CW, where were they in 1870? I have the Mason 1870 but none from Ohio, do you have the name of the Proffit or the Roush? This couple in the 1880-Mason - William 30, Emily C 31., and also Wm Lawson 37, wife EJ 36, ML female 9, JL5 mo female. Thanks for writing. Sandy in Florida Maybe I will catch up with my mail when I retire, in 2010, <grin>
