Smith Chart - John Lawson 1745-1829 of Wilkes County



This pedigree chart was sent to me by a member of the James Smith Lawson family.  Here they show that the father of Winright Lawson was Mary Bennett which is the same conclusion I came to doing research on the Lawson's.  Our Frances Bennet Christopher Lawson, daughter of Winwright Lawso and Mary Bennett, married John Rollen Russell.  Frances Bennet Christopher Lawson's name is spelled out showing her maiden name in the Russell Family Bible.  Research continues to learn the reason Christopher is included in her name.  It may have been a middle name or she may have been married before marrying Winright.
