Most distant suspected ancestors are
Moremon Lawson, b. 1751
m. Elva Collins ~1803 in Lee Co VA
This is his second marriage.
or
Thomas Lawson m. Susan
(Mr. William Groshe, married into the family and a longtime historian in E. TN said
that Moremon Lawson and Elva Collins are our ancestors. A computer-distant-cousin
thinks that Thomas Lawson and Susan are the parents, but he has no proof. They
are listed as neighbors in (I think) the1860 TN census.)
