SURNAMES: LAWSON
QRYTEXT: Seeking information on the family and ancestors of William and Elizabeth Lawson, both of whom were born prior to 1790. I am particularly interested in obtaining information on their daughter, Elizabeth Lawson (bc 1809), who apparently married Andrew Reed of Montgomery Co. in the 1820's (in Montgomery/present-day Floyd Co.?). Any information that can be provided on Elizabeth's family, her children's names, her husband's family, etc. would be very much appreciated. As a point of note, William Lawson may have been the son of William Lawson, Sr., a one-time resident of then-Montgomery Co., VA (present-day Floyd Co.) during the late 1700's. Census data, does, however, place both William Jr. and Sr. in Russell Co. during the early 1800's and Scott Co., VA circa 1850.
