It seems highly likely that Asa Lawyer was a son of Stacy (or Stacey) Lawyer, who was born about 1765 in New Jersey, and was still living, age 85, in the 1850 census for Monroe Twp. of Middlesex Couty, NJ.In the 1850 census for Brown Twp. of Hancock County, IN, Asa was listed as family no. 228.His wife(whom I had read as Anny)and four children were with him.They were Jane, George, Irene, and John.Two families further on (no. 230) was Stacey Lawyer, age listed as 29, born in New Jersey, and his wife, Arminda, and three children.(James W. Lawyer, age 27, born NJ, and his family were listed in Worth Twp. of Hancock County.)About 1855 Stacy moved to Effingham County Illinois.Thanks to a descendant who wrote out by hand everything she knew and sent it to me. I have a lot of information about this Stacy's descendants.
I am a descendant of John Lawyer (b. 1763 in New Jersey; d. 1845 in Guernsey County, OH.) John and the earlier Stacy may have been brothers.Their parents may have been Michael Layer (later Lawyer)and Elizabeth Dove, who married in Middlesex County, New Jersey on May 3, 1758.
