LAWSON, ARMSTEAD

I am researching my family name, LAWSON, I know that my greatgrandfather lived in Cumberland Co. Tennessee. His name was JohnLawson, his wife was named Dora. They had 4 children, EugeneArmstead, b. Apr.27,1885, a daugh. named Callie, b. ??, a son namedOscar, b. ??, and another son, name unknown. The family moved fromthe area around 1890-1900 to LeFlore Co. Mississippi. John died onOct. 12,1905 and is buried in the Confederate Cemetery at Beauvoir inBiloxi, MS. Dora is buried in Shaw MS, I dont know much more thanthat. I would like to know if anyone might have Dora Lawson's maidenname, Im guessing but it might be Armstead since Eugene's middle namewas Armstead. I understand the marriage records were lost around1905, but was hoping somebody might know more than Ido about John andDora's marriage records and other earlier Lawson lineage. Any help would be greatly appreciated, if I may be of help tosomeone please email me..Thank You and May GOD Bless..

Hello: I am interested in finding out any information on Allen andNancy BULLOCK BARGER my gr-gr-grandparents. Allen BARGER was born inTn. ABT of 1801. Nancy was born in Tn. ABT of 1815.
