If you know of any changes or additions, or someone with additional information, please send the information to the author. I am especially concerned that the information in the brains of the elder members of the family is about to be lost. Please get this information to me, by letter or tape. Researching family history is both exciting and frustrating. Countless hours may be involved in finding one bit of information. Several bits eventually lead to another ancestor. The work goes on and on. I've relied on research from several other persons so that I can present as much information as quickly as possible. The list of "credits" below include the works I know about. Documentation is included in the notes at the end of each chapter. Much of my original work is taken from family records and census records, which reports no maiden name for the wives. Until I can find a marriage license, efforts are useless to trace further back on the women. Summary of Ancestors This chart presents close ancestors of LAWSON and BETHA: ? McRoy and ? ? ? and ? ?
