Esther, A correction in your Lawson-Cooksey page.
Elisha, son of Randolph did not marry Mary. Elisha who
was a brother or a cousin of Randolph married a Mary. Look at the date of
marriage, 1801, for Elisha, son of Randolph was only 8 years old. Our Elisha married
Rachel Phillips (Phelps), born abt 1797. married 1 Jul 1816
in Campbell Co., TN. They had 15 children,
Andrew Jackson, 1816
Thomas, 1820
Mary, 1822
Elisha, jr. 1822
Robert, 1824
Calvin, 1828
Nancy, 1833
M.R. 1835
James, 1835
Anderson, 1838
David, 1841
Tabitha, 1840
J.M., 1841
Rachel, 1846
N.E. , 1849
I too, am descended from Robert through his son William Jefferson.
Warm regards,

Esther,
It has been determined (DNA analysis) that we are NOT descended from
William Lawson (William the rebel), born in Scotland 1730, but are
descended from the "Falling River Lawsons" of Virginia.
At this date, we are unable to pinpoint the parents of Randolph,born
1752.
Myrna Culpen Hurlbert and I have been in contact regarding the
parents of Randolph, and she is on a project of process of illumination.
Myrna THINKS that the parents of Randolph were either Robert or a David
Lawson,. but has not traveled to Virginia to research.
