Seeking Descendants to Participate in the Project

Join the 122 members who are already part of the Lawson Surname Project

As of August 2007, eleven men of the LFHP have tested and established the DNA for William Lawson, Scottish Rebel. Their results can be seen as Group #11 on Carl Lawson's chart (see links below). These men are from the lines of William2 and Travis.

The LFHP also researched and funded tests for two other lines thought to be from sons of William, the Rebel. The lines tested were of Jeremiah, the circuit rider, and Robert. The tests for these lines did not match the existing DNA results for our group.

A female descendant of Travis' wife, Maysie Simpkins Lawson, has also been tested and shows a European heritage.

The Lawson DNA Project is housed at Carl Lawson's site and is through the Houston based "Family Tree DNA" service. As their banner states, they are the world's first and largest genealogy driven DNA testing service.
