Information on Losson family. . .

Hi Mike, this information is all over the place with the Losson's trying to trace the ancestory. Thought i would put it in.



Hi this is what I have George Losson we are sure that he was born abt 1797 he was married 2 times that we know of his first wife's name was Sarah (South we think) he married her in Grayson Co Va,He then married Rachel Gross in Stokes Co Va in Oct 10 1848 he signed his name George Losson he then signed for his son Stephan to marry in Dec 1848 to Sarah Dennison (this is where the name changed to Lawson it was first used by Stephan )He also signed for Edmond Losson to marry to Elizbeth South (Edmonds later used Lawson as the spelling) we think that Edmonds may have been his brother is this ringing any bells for anyone if you have any thing on this family please replie Larry Lawson lawsonlt@aol.com

of 30 Good question, and one I have asked myself. The name Losson does not appear on the Cherokee rolls, I'm told, nor does Lawson, as I sometimes see it written.My son says he recalls reading somewhere (unfortunately he can't recall where) that she was an orphan raised by a white family, a "Lost Bird", and it seems reasonable that she would have been given their family name, especially if she was adopted by them. I know a researcher who is looking into this, and I'll ask her to post her answers, if she's willing, and has anything to report

Hi, Cuz,You never know what info might pop up! I recently heard from a distant Rogers cousin who said that Elizabeth Losson/Lawson might have been Melungeon, not just Cherokee, and that William Rogers and Lecia Lawson, (a Melungeon woman) had a son, George, in about 1740. The time & place are right for this to be our George, and she said someone told her he married Elizabeth Lawson, though she didn't have proof. She believes William to be son of John Rogers and Mary Byrd. I'll ask if I can forward her letters to you, with dates, etc.Just to add to the confusion...Another distant cousin says George was son of John, b. 1717 son of the 1680 John Rogers.I don't see how our George could be son of the 1680 John Rogers and Mary Byrd, because that George was b. abt 1720 and married a Miss Lee, then Frances Pollard.Do you think it is possible that people just sort of got dropped from the family tree when they married Indians or Melungeons? Is that maybe why they are so hard to track? Just a thought.Konnie
