Crazy Stories
Sigh ok so here is what I DO know. I know that a James Edward Lawson was born in 1903 Josephine TX and he died 1985 in Luther Oklahoma. He was married to a Sarah Ellen Miller. I know he has at least two sons one being John William Lawson (my grandfather). Ok here is where things get a little tricky his father was a William Lawson born in 1864 in Alabama died 1938 in Oklahoma. Here is my issue though I keep thinking I find that link and that William Lawson to only be knocked back. There are stories more than one version in fact. It is of someone in my family line running with Jesse James and how in fact there was some name switching going around. One version was that there was a set of twins and that one of them was shot (one that actually stayed out of trubl but being mistaken for his brother) so the not so right side of the law brother took his name. Here is the other version that well makes life a bit more difficult its that the family member who ran with Jesse came across a dead man (a Lawson) and aquired his identity and made a new life for himself so he could avoid the law. Has ANYONE else heard such stories flying around?
