My uncle use to tell a story about a family feud between the Lawson’s and the Trent’s. My step great grandfather was Matt Trent. He supposedly killed seven of the Lawson’s during this feud. Has anyone heard about this story?
I have one question that you maybe able to help me with after William Lawson escaped for Virginia Plantation of Captain Rober Holme and he went into hiding, it has been said that he had family (Lawson) that had already been established in Virginia and North Carolina, from records you can see he married in Halifax Virginia and all of his children where born in Cherokee North Carolina before heading for the hills of Virginia where he maintained himself until his death. Who are these Lawson that are suppose to have been related to him and how are the related to him? I am very interested in finding out this information because it could lead back to Scotland Lines. Thank you Amber Lawson Salmons
