Edna Overby, a descendant, said, "Lawson had 4 different wives and 25 children. He owned a tremendous amount of farm land on the outskirts of Branchville, Virginia. He gave large farms to three of his sons: Frank, Sam & Ben. Son Carr ran off in his teen years, did not return until he was grown & married. He was disinherited and given $50."
The Virginia 1870 Census for Boykins, Virginia, lists Lawson at age 56, as a farmer with $5000 real estate & $1500 personal estate. He was then with his 4th wife Martha, who was 30.
