| Documentation: Unknown if there were other children. JamesFranklin Lawson was my great grandfather and the information on him comesfrom the 1870 MI Census which also lists his father and mother, James andMargaret (gg grandparents). In addition, he was on the Detroit PDfor one year so I verified his date of birth there. He ownedthe plots in Elmwood Cemetery, and when I ordered the records I found theinformation on William, Harriet, Margaret, and James. I foundthe names of Andrew and Henry listed on the Census with James and Margaret,and that is where the name of the spouse was taken. Also, the estimateddates come from their ages on the appropriate censuses. I believethe documentation is very strong as it also included State of Michigandeath records listing parents and for the children, the names of the parentswere James and Margaret Lawson. |
