John D. Lawson 1807 Indiana /Red River Texas
I am trying to find the John Lawson who went to California, perhaps during the Gold Rush, with my relative, Richard A. Hadden (b. abt.1805, Indiana).I believe Richard was living in Wharton/Matagorda County Texas when they left. I was told that John Lawson came back to TX, but Richard died in California. I know Richard had relatives in Clarksville, TX. Does anyone know about this John Lawson?
