A SCOTTISH REBEL'' and Other Pioneer Families of Southern Appalachia.

William Lawson was born in 1731 Montrose, Scotland and died
in 1826 Scott County, Virginia. His life was long and turbulent.
He fought the Brittish in his homeland and also in the American
Revolution. Chapter one gives more detail about his turbulent
life. The addendum section has an article on his homeland and
the events that led up to the Battle of Culloden (1746) and it's
terrible aftermath which resulted in William's imprisonment and
being transported to the colonies.
His children led exciting lives also. His son, Travis Lawson,
moved to Kentucky. A son, William Lawson, Jr., was a Methodist
minister and lived in Scott County, VA. Another son, Rev. Jeremiah
Lawson and others, pioneered the Methodist movemnt in wilderness
Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio. You will read the Methodist Circut

moved to Claiborn County, TN. Two known daughters were Sarah
and Betsy Ann Lawson. Sarah married Henry Wood and lived in Scott
