The LAWSON family belongs
to the Clan
MacLaren. Their motto is: "Boar's Rock". The Boar's Rock is also known
as the Manse Rock and is a large rocky hill sacred to the MacLarens. Balquhidder
is a Highland glen where MacGregors, MacLarens, Stewarts, and Fergusons
engaged in bloody feuds.
The view from atop Boar's Rock may be the best
in Scotland. The mausoleum of the MacLaren chiefs is set in a grove of
rowan trees off the glen road to Balquhidder (pronounced 'Balwhidder').
By the way, In 1736 Rob Roy's son Robin, at age 19, shot and killed John
MacLaren, our chieftain, from behind!
Anyone planning to travel to Scotland and wanting
to see where the LAWSON family might have originated should buy "THE BRITISH
HERITAGE magazine, February 1997 issue, page 46, on "Balquihidder, Rob
Rob Country.

The 1st one, Entitled "Memorable Events", published in 1911 or
12, by Jason W. James. He started writing it in 1911. There
is no publisher mentioned. It was apparently given to my Great grandfather,
Finus Ray Wallace before he died in 1915 at age 66. The sequel, entitled
"Memories and Viewpoints", was privately printed by Williams Printing Company,
Richmond, Virginia, in 1928.
