Kirsty, my lawson line is from William Lawson, Scotland. There has been a book about him and his descendants, "William Lawson, The Scotish Rebel" by Bill Porter.

You may want to check out the Lawson DNA Project.

They are worldwide I do believe.

My ancestor Martin Lawson was a Mariner. The only thing I really know about him is that he married Hannah Chapman on 15 April 1809 in Gorleston, Suffolk, UK and had at least three children.
