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

We have addressed every issue that you have concerns with…beginning with the marriage to Jane Banks…who was married to a DIFFERENT William Lawson.
Thanks for this amazing post. This is very helpful for someone looking for a transcription article. I will be checking your site again soon.
I have a website about the flanary-clan. I have info back to Ireland. I just took a trip to Ireland to see where we came from. It was wonderful. If anyone would like what I have email me.

I am looking for the burial place of my great,great,great grandfather Obediah Lawson. I understand it was in the England cemetery in England Valley. That makes stands to reason since he was married to Jane England. His son Russell was apparently also buried there. I recently traveled there from Missouri which is in England valley, Scott Co. Va. Annie England (apparently only England left) said it was up on a hill behind her house. I went up there and found the cemetery with some some graves that only had flat rocks sticking up out of the ground. Does anybody have more information about this? rlawsonx3@gmail.com
Just to let you know this line is NOT connected to William Lawson (1731).
Look to the 1870 census Acquinton, King William, Virginia. Could this be your family? With Jane, and an elderly woman listed as Charlotte age 70.
The 1850 Lee Co, Va census of Dyer Lawson and Jane indicates his birth in Tennessee. One son named Stokeley, another Enoch.
Suggest looking at Dier Lawson 1830 Lee, Virginia census
Possibly the 1820 census Onancock, Accomack, Virginia
Look to Carl Lawson’s research and DNA charting: http://lawsondna.org/
I would dearly love the information you have for the Flanary family. My husbands family goes back to Thomas Elkannah Flannary SR. Tipperary Ireland, 1700. I am planning on a trip to Scott County Virginia in the near future, and would love to get info on where to go in Ireland. I think I even read there was a family bible owned by Everett Flanary of Missouri. Would love to touch that bible, or just get a picture of it. Thank you, for any help you can give me….
