Charlotte Lawson, b. 1819 in Northumberland Co.,Ontario; father was Peter Lawson
To descendants of Charlotte Lawson Parr,
Charlotte Lawson was born 19 Jan 1819 in Murray Twp., Northumberland, Upper Canada (Ontario) to Peter Lawson and wife, Mary. One source has it that her mother was Mary King, but my Draper family records and a source on RootsWeb's World Connect Project say that Peter's wife was Mary "Polly" Draper who lived in Cramahe and Haldimand Twps, Northumberland, Upper Canada (Ontario) while growing up. (Cramahe was immediately west of Murray before 1851 when parts of both became the new Brighton Township)
Mary "Polly" was born in 1799/1800 in Rome, Oneida Co., New York. Her family moved to Canada in 1807. She married Peter Lawson by 1817 or 1818.
Charlotte Lawson married Young Parr and they lived in Brighton Township until at least the 1861 census. Their property, SW 1/4 of Lot 34 Concession V (5), was sold in 1864. I understand that they moved to Huron County.
I have learned from research that Charlotte had a brother named Hiram George Lawson, b. 28 Nov 1817 or 1820. He stayed in Brighton Twp, and died there in 1913. One source has it that his parents were Peter Lawson and Mary King, but the RootsWeb source, and my Draper family records have it that Mary was Mary "Polly" Draper.
Could a descendant of Charlotte enlighten me about Mary King or Mary "Polly" Draper being the wife of Peter Lawson? Is there any documentation, such as a church record of marriage? Thank you for any information you can provide.
