Would you contact me directly at mefbrammer@yahoo.com? I have some info for you and it's rather long to put on RootsWeb. You may have questions and we will need to email back and forth.

Our family is most interesting and I don't mind sharing info. I do like to know where my Law relatives who I have contact about the family live and how our family has spread across the country.

Will try to get in contact with you as soon as possible after hearing from you.

My Joe-- or J.L.-- Law is Caucasian.

Re: Joe Law

mefbrammer — 2009-11-04 00:40:22Z

I have some info on the Amos B. Law in my family. Is your Amos B. Law Caucasian or African-American? The reason I ask this is because there are Laws of both races in Franklin County. I'll need to know before I try to type the info in an understandable form.

I'm happy to help, but besides DNA my knowledge of the Law family is limited to my relatives in Scotland, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. The is a Law/Laws one-name study that tries to capture information on everybody named Law. They can be found at www.lawsfamilyregister.org.uk.

You should consider posting a new message (by starting a new thread) with names and dates of people you are looking for. The readers here are a great resource.

Re: Law DNA Project

mefbrammer — 2009-10-27 23:57:14Z

Since you have obviously have been researching the Laws for quite some time, if I send you some facts and dates, will you be able to try to find these matches in your data base? MB

Re: Law DNA Project

kirbylaw — 2009-10-20 14:32:14Z

Yes, assuming that you are first cousins on your father's side of the family. You'll be testing their paternal ancestry, which should match your father's.

Ted T. Law

jeanalongi — 2009-10-20 00:35:58Z

Looking for information about Ted T. Law. Middle name could have been Trusty. Was living in California in the 1960s. I think he was born in Ohio. His wife was Doris or Dorcas and I believe she was from Wyoming, or at one time she was a teacher there. They had a daughter Beverly (Tobler) and twin daughters, Elaine & Eleanor. They also had a home in Santa Barbara. Beverly and her husband Jack Tobler lived in Las Vegas in the 1960s. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

An Amos B. Law was born in Franklin Co.,VA in the late 1700s or early 1800s. His father was Daniel Law and a brother to my ancestor. I will have to check the facts to get the exact dates when I get home, but I do believe this Amos also had a son named Amos.

Since I do not have any brothers and my father is deceased, can male first cousins be used for the DNA test?

Re: Law DNA Project

kirbylaw — 2009-10-17 16:09:42Z

Catherine,

DNA is only useful for tracing your direct paternal ancestry (y-DNA) or direct maternal ancestry (mitochondrial DNA, or mtDNA), so wouldn't appear to be useful in answering your question.

In regards to your question, it would be helpful if you would attach dates to the names and to provide more detail about where they lived, when married, etc. That way, you are more likely to receive good advice. Also, you should probably re-post your question as a new thread/subject, as anyone reading this thread is probably focused on Law DNA. Regards, Kirby

Re: Joe Law

catawbasloan68 — 2009-10-12 03:21:01Z

Amos B. Law's age was recorded, perhaps erroneously, as twenty-six when he married my great-grandmother Susan Rodden in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina in 1874. They had three sons, with birth years ranging from 1875 to 1880. Amos does not appear with the family in the 1880 census, and the family story is that he abandoned them. That census does indicate that the boys' father was born in Virginia.

Re: Joe Law

catawbasloan68 — 2009-10-12 03:11:54Z

I have found a record-- an 1870 census record, I believe-- of a Franklin County, VA Amos B. Law who was married to a woman named Elizabeth, and they had a son named Joseph.

Minnie E. Connell and Herbert S. Law

AEGRIF — 2009-09-26 00:05:48Z

Minnie Estelle (Connell) Law was the daughter of Lucy Etta Grogan and Robert D. (aka William R., per 1910 census) Connell. Lucy Etta was the daughter of Elizabeth Jane Whitfield, daughter of John Whitfield and Lucy UNKNOWN. I am looking for a living direct line female through Minnie (if any), who would consider doing the mtDNA test. She must be a biological daughter, granddaughter, etc., without any male interruptions. If you know of any descendants or anyone connected to this family, please put them in touch with me.

Thank you,

Re: Law family from Georgia

7thgenlaw — 2009-09-09 00:48:23Z

Since you have traced only back to the early 1800's, do you have info on Laws coming to America around 1700? I noticed the post here and hoped to finally be able to trace my ancestors across the ocean. Right now I am not home so I can't give detailed information. As far as my Law family, the ancestor came here through Jamestown,VA and his decedents have spread out all over the United States.

Re: Law family from Georgia

I am replying to the above comment from frlaw12. I know that my ancestral grandfather, John Law, came from Aberdeen, Scotland sometime around 1700 but can't trace back any further. Could he be the ancestor you have in your family tree? MB

Re: Joe Law

7thgenlaw — 2009-09-08 23:38:54Z

Check Franklin Co., VA records. Amos B. Law sounds like a Franklin County, VA name and I know that there is an Amos somewhere in the family tree. I am not at home so I can't check what records I have. Also if you have access to Ancestry.com, check the decedents of John Law died 1799 in Franklin County, VA. I know that one was an Amos.

Joe Law

catawbasloan68 — 2009-09-08 21:09:31Z

According to a story told me by my mother, Eloise Law Watts, and verified by one of my aunts, a man named Joe Law lived with them and their father, Charles Benjamin Law, in Belmont, Gaston County, North Carolina for a short time about 1920-1924. Their father introduced Joe as his half-brother. Further,the family story went that Joe moved to Gastonia, Gaston's county seat, that he lived there with his wife, "Ella," and their children, and that Joe died there and is buried in a cemetery in downtown Gastonia. I've recently found census records (1910, 1920, & 1930) on the family, in addition to Joe's death certificate. Joe's wife's name was Ellen. She was born in Georgia about 1875. Some of their children's names-- born in GA, NC, & SC-- were Adelia, Walter, Bessie, Parke (or "Parks"), and Eugene. In 1910 the family was living in Alford, Hart County, Georgia; in 1920 in Anderson County, SC; and in 1930 in Laurens County, SC. Ellen's name in 1930 was listed as Ellen L. Tucker. The informant for Joe Law's death certificate was Addie Withers, and her listed address was the same as Joe's and Ellen's on Cedar Street in Gastonia. I would like to hear from any descendant's of Joe and Ellen Law, or anyone who has any information on the family. Joe Law's death certificate shows West Virginia as his birthplace. My grandfather's father's name was Amos B. Law; he was born in Virginia.

Re: Law family from Georgia

frlaw12 — 2009-09-09 00:27:02Z

This appears to contain some of the information on the early marriages of some of the Law folk recorded in: "Blount County, Tennessee Marriages 1795 to 1915" by Edith B. Little. I have the book and will do lookups if anyone wants me to.

Re: Law family from Georgia

frlaw12 — 2009-09-09 00:19:10Z

He could be. We haven't traced our Law line much beyond the early 1800's in Blount co., Tennessee, but we suspect Abraham Law lived in NC before that.

Where did your John Law settle when he came from Scotland? Who were his children? And what places did they live in? (etc.?)

Re: Law family from Georgia

frlaw12 — 2009-09-09 02:35:21Z

There are so many Law families around the country by the time our earliest known Law ancestor (Abraham) was distinctly identified, it seems rather pointless to look at all possibilities of those bearing the Law name entering the country. Our Abraham may have been born around 1780, possibly in North Carolina.

Re: Law family from Georgia

frlaw12 — 2009-09-10 17:00:29Z

Sorry, I don't have any record of a Giles Law in our family, or in the book on marriages that I have. I don't know about anyone in the family moving to Virginia that early, either.

I would think if you found him in the 1900 Census you would know the month and year of his birth, and if you found him in the 1960 census, he would probably be with his parents. I don't know if there is a good index to the 1860 Census in Virginia, but it is worth a try. (Or in searching the records at this site.)

Re: Jane Law

brandyvonne — 2009-08-22 02:37:37Z

Jane Law married David Noble (not Nobles) at St. James (Church, registration at Preston (this is shown on Lancashire BMD 1857.

In 1863 they had a daughter Mary Jane Noble (this is my grandmother). The Birth was in the District of Accrington (Reg'm District shown as Haslingden, Lancashire). And at the time of this birth, the mother Mary Jane Noble (nee Law) was living at 8 Thompson Court, New Accrington.

The marriage of their daughter, Mary Jane Noble, to William Cameron in January 1881 is in Blackburn. The father of the bride (David Noble) is listed with occupation Cotton Weaver.

I was just posting this information to see if I could find out more on the Law family--such as the birthdate of Jane Law, as well as who her parents were (i.e. my great g g grandparents.
