After this event, we have records only on Hugh Lawson. Hugh, settled in Chester Co., PA Moved to Lunenburg Co., VA about 1743. Judge of the first Court of the County, JP, Became a Member of Virginia Assembly May 5, 1746. Virginia Historical Magazine, Vol. X p321, Records Joseph Habersham DAR - 400, 534, 587

It has become customary among genealogical writers on the Lawson family to say that Hugh Lawson first settled in Pennsylvania, from whence he came to VA with brothers John and Roger. One who has traced his connecting lines back, however, states that he and his brothers were cousins, some degrees removed, from the early VA emigrants, Rowland and Epaproditus Lawson and Christopher Lawson. The exact statement of Mrs. Caroline Belle Price on this matter is: "The record of Epaproditus Lawson and Rowland Lawson, of VA, shows that their ancestor, Sir Henry Lawson of 'Brough Hall' (in England) was the father of their cousin Capt. John Lawson, from whom Col. Hugh Lawson descended". Mrs. Price further says: "Hugh Lawson married Mary Moore, daughter of Charles Moore and Margaret Barry."

Hugh moved to Rowan County, NC. Was there from 1759 to 1772. He was the grantee in a deed of record in Salisbury made by the Agent of the Earl of Granville in 1759, conveying to him 350 acres of land. Will made 9/20/1764 and probated in Rowan County, NC in 1772. Buried in Bakers Graveyard, two miles west of Center Church; in Iredell CO, NC

The name of Hugh Lawson on the early tythe lists of VA, and the records show that he was one of the tythe takers for Lunenburg Co, in the years 1748, 1749 and as late as 1752, after which time he had probably removed to the upper part of Mecklenburg Co, near the supposed l between the present Mecklenburg and Rowan Co. Dr. Hunter in his sketches says that he built a fine home on Davidson's Creek and owned lands on both sides of the stream. See map on page 380 of these notes for its location. When Hugh Lawson died his will was proven in Rowan Co, though it is well known that he was buried in Baker's Graveyard near Cowan's Ford in Mecklenburg Co.

Charles Moore, Deed. Charles Moore of Tyron Co, deed to his son in law Andrew Barry, a blacksmith, to land on both sides of Tyger River, on Lawson's Creek, bounded by the lands of Hugh Lawson. (This land was below the of the present NC, SC, but at that time was considered a part of Tryon Co). The deed was executed between 1762 and 1779, which was the life-time of Tryon County. It shows that Hugh Lawson owned lands in upper SC at the time of his death, which adjoined lands belonging to Charles Moore, Lawson's wife having been Mary Moore, a sister of Charles moore, and the daughter of a Charles Moore and his wife Margaret Barry, the parents of Prof. Charles Moore.

Genealogy Notes Pertaining to Census Records of Mecklenburg County - District No.7

Between Cowan's Ford and Beattie's Ford, on the Catawba, and a short distance from the old river itself, as attempted to be portrayed on the map, is the burial place of that early religious patriot and missionary Rev. John Thomson, known as Baker's Graveyard. In this place also sleep the last remains of Mary Price, sister of Major John Davidson; Hugh Lawson, father in law of Hugh Barry and Samuel Baker. Up to some fifty years ago there were crude head and foot stones, on one of which was carved the initials "H-L" marking the grave of Hugh Lawson. Now the spot is a shambles, yielding at last to the ravages of centuries, its enclosing stone fence torn down to build a highway for the modern, speeding generations. The stately oaks, under which Rev. John Thomson delivered his stirring pioneer sermons between 1751 and 1753, no longer spread their sacred foliage to the Catawba breezes, but there are still signs of unmistakable import that they once marked the hallowed spot, now passing into the oblivian of forgotten history.

[Rev. John Thomson, father in law of Samuel Baker; Hugh Lawson, father in law of Hugh Barry.]
