Thanks for the welcome. My Lawson line is on my maternal side. My grandmother was Isabel Lawson - I have tracked them to William Lawson (abt 1817) Scotland married to Helen (abt 1817) Scotland. They had John (1846), David W. (1855) and Thomas (1858). David is my ancestor. William evidently made it to England before 1855 as that is where David was born. David married Elizabeth Harkness and came to USA in 1896. Their children were all born in England except for my grandmother, Isabel who was born in New York in 1887. This does not match with the immigration date for the family. I have not proven the William and Helen connection, but have lots on David.

Welcome!!

If a person will start a DISCUSSION (creates a thread), then every response to that question, in the thread, will help to keep the Q & A's separate.

If there is something you want to respond to that isn't in a Discussion, just make your discussion title whatever the comment was "An answer to --- 's question" and maybe then we can pull the new comments up to the forum/thread..

For openers, my husband's Lawson family is one of those descended from Wm Lawson whom we refer to as "The Scottsh Rebel". I maintain the database on rootsweb that Sherry H. has referred to and also answers queries sent to the The Lawson Family Heritage Program.

For future reference-is there a way to reply directly to a previous message in thread format instead of starting a new message? Thanks for the invite Sherry.

My great-great grandfather was Gilber Lawson, born 1830 in Norway. He married Anne Randine Hansdtr in Norway and had a daughter, Teya. He emmigrated about 1853 and lived in Moline or Rock Island Illinois for most of his life. He married second, Helena Erickson Anderon, a widow with three children (Daniel Anderson born 1842 in Norway, Hannah Anderson Abraham, born 1845 in Norway and Emma Anderson Jones, born 1848 in Norway). Gilbert and Helena had two children, Matilda Lawson Downes Whitson, Doberson, LeMond, born 1855 in Illinois and Lizzie Lawson Chase, born 1860 in Illinois. Last info I have on Gilbert is a land transaction in June 1892. The 1892-93 city directory for Rock Island lists his wife as his widow. My brick wall is determining when and where Gilbert died and where he is buried. He is not buried with Helena (she died in 1895) nor is any mention made in her obituary. Have not been able to locate him in any of the cemeteries in Rock Island county. Any help would be appreciated.
