David,
The following information comes from a book "History of Shannon County, Missouri2001"
Brothers,Wiley and Jesse Lawson were from Overton County, Tennessee.Jesse, born c. 1803, married Martha Richison, born c. 1804.They had eight children, Mary, John, Margaret, Nancy, Lorenzo, Birdine Henderson, James W. and Lucinda.
Birdine was born 1833, married Jestin Smith Davis, born 1834.She was previously married to Charles Joseph Davis and had 6 children by him......Jestin Smith was born in Overton County and is the daughter of Stephen Smith and
Nancy Holman.
Jesse and Wiley came from North or South Carolina to Overton County Tennessee sometime in the early 1800's.

It was most likely written by a Lawson relative.And I know of none of them ever doing the dna testing.

Jesse died in Tennessee sometime in the 1850's.Birdine married his first wife in 1853 in Jackson Countyand they divorced in 1859 in Overton County, district 13.She charged him with adultery. That information was found on Rootsweb.
