I actually had the opportunity to visit Scott County, VA last week and visited the Lawson Confederate Cemetery. After seeing all the Lawsons buried there and especially William Lawson's, I would like to research this line further. I have seen a Sarah "Sally" Lawson (who seems to match mine with dates and places in VA) listed as daughter to Travis and Martha "Maysie" Simpkins. I haven't seen anything attached to her beyond that. My Sarah Lawson married George W. Anderson (who I have seen in a few places was hanged as a Union spy). She later married a Roller and moved to MO. George W. Anderson and Sarah Lawson were the parents of Louisa Anderson -- and so the story goes as listed above.
With this extra tidbit I now have, does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks so much for anything you may have-
Christy

Thanks -- I did see this and the info. for this Sarah conflicts with mine. More digging required on my part.
Thanks again for checking-
