    I am related to James Madison Lawson and Susanna Knox through Matilda Lawson.

    I have a family blog located at http://checkhereforyoursurname.blogspot.com/ with some info I have found.

    I found the following marriage license at anscestry.com it was dated 04 Apr 1839 McMinn County, Tennessee..

    Let me know what you think for I too have been told that they were married in Indiana or Alabama.

    I also included a picture of James's tombstone (located in Jim Matt Lawson Cemetery, Maries County, Missouri) I took it in June 2008.
