"THE LAWSON FAMILY. 1. The first one of whom we have any account was THOMAS LAWSON, a young man born and reared in England. He had an excellent reputation and was of good family. He accepted the position as steward for an Irish gentleman named Farley and went to Ireland to fulfill the duties of the position. Mr. Farley had a handsome and attractive daughter Hannah and young Thomas Lawson discovered the fact and fell in love with her. She appeared to reciprocate. The parent Farley discovered the situation and at once assumed the part of an indignant father. Young Thomas Lawson eloped with the girl, married he and took ship to America. He was a fine Latin scholar and opened a Latin school in Philadelphia and taught there. He afterwards went to York, Pennsylvania and seems to have made money there. He had a son Thomas who became the ancestor of all the Portsmouth Lawsons and of the Greenup county, Kentucky, Lawsons.
