Irish Lawn DNA

jtl392 — 2011-10-20 04:04:19Z

Hello,

I'm looking for some male Lawn's who descend from the County Donegal/Tyrone line to take the Y-DNA test to see if in fact the Irish Lawn's are descended from the Ui Fiachrach. One of these Ui Fiachrach families were the O'Liathain's of present day County Sligo that held a seat at Dromard. The O'Liathain's later moved into Tirconnell (Donegal)in the middle ages where the surname was later anglicised to O'Lawn, O'Lane and O'Lyons. The Ui Fiachrach are descended from Fiachra, who was Niall of the Nine Hostages, half brother, so the DNA should be M-222+. My DNA is M-222+ and I believe that the Lawn/Lane/Lyons of Donegal descend from this famous bloodline. I now need some Lawn's to take the test to prove this theory. If you have any questions please contact me at cjl315@comcast.net

Re: Lucia Lawn m. R. D. Bruner 1800, OH

azkaren748 — 2011-07-25 00:54:45Z

This is a very old post and I imagine you have the info. by now. I wanted to know if you still use the same e-mail.

R D was born in 1882. In the 1900 census (June 4), she was working as a servant in the household of R D's family, Brecksville Twp., Cuyahoga Co. OH. Head of House was John Henry Bruner. My record has marriage of R D to Lucia in Jan. 1901.

1910 census shows R D age 28 and Lucia age 31 md. 9 yrs. She was mother of 3 with 2 living, Pierce age 8 and Valeeta age 4. This girl must be the same as Peggy?

Thank you for replying.

I don't believe that I have come across any LAWNs in Kansas before. Therefore any information would be welcome. Except for some research on a few LAWNs in Philadelphia, I have not gathered much information from the US yet.

I'm happy to share information that is useful to you as well if I have any.

Re: LAWN one name study/ Ireland database

aforce10 — 2010-11-26 04:32:28Z

I would be interested in any info on the Lawn family as well. My great great grandfather was John Chancy Lawn born October 30, 1832 in Donegal, Ireland. His father was John Lawn born in 1810 and he was from Donegal as well. His wife was Nancy Griffith also born in 1810. I will be happy to share what I have as well. I was able to travel to Kansas in May and took pictures of the cemetary.

Thank you for responding and I am not good at checking my messages as well. This past May I went to Beloit, Kansas and did come back with alot of info on the LAWN family. I will be happy to share with you as well. I also took pictures of John Chancy Lawn's headstone. I have had one picture of him but was never able to travel to Kansas until May.

Hi Chasa_1,

I hope you are well. I'm still plugging away at the one name study and my own family tree.

Yes, you did send me information on the LAWNs from Donegal and Limerick. I plan to collate it all and make it accessible to those who are interested.

I am still picking away on my Donegal LAWN ancestors, but haven't done much lately- please keep me in the loop if you find anything new. I have a bunch of transcriptions of curch records for Donegal LAWNs, but I can't remember if I sent those to you already.

Re: LAWN one name study/ Ireland database

Hi,

Thanks for posting the message. I am still working on the one name study for LAWN, so any information would be welcome. I believe that you have sent me family trees etc. many years ago.

I think that the best thing I can do is collate the information I have so far so that you can see whether you can add any more. I will let you know when I have done this.

LAWN/DEVENPORT(DEVONPORT/DAVENPORT)

debra26263 — 2010-11-20 20:47:47Z

Hi
My interest is in an Ann Lawn who according to Pallot's married John Davenport in St Giles Cripplegate, London on 28.8.1882. Believe she died before 1828 as he remarried to an Amelia Edwards and is cited as widower on the entry. There was also a son, Henry born 1822, but unclear who the mother is as cannot find birth entry. Assume Ann Lawn born 1799 if she had attained full age at wedding but only birth entry corresponding is Daughter of William and Mary Lawn of Saxton. Any help and info on this would be appreciated.

Re: Buxton Lawn

gumbeaux58 — 2010-03-25 15:09:34Z

But who was George Lawn, alleged father of Buxton Lawn. The three children alleged to have been the product of the 1759 marriage to George III were Sir Samuel Parks, General Sir John Mackelcan, and Sarah who married a Dr. Dalton of the Bengal Light Infantry. It is this Sarah's daughter whois beleived to have been found under the floor of the chapel. None of these though are a Lawn.

Officially, Buxton Lawn was the son of John and Mary Lawne. He was baptised at Norton Subcourse on the 10th February, 1759 and died in Manchester on the 16th December, 1824. No place of burial has as yet been found.

Re: Buxton Lawn

gumbeaux58 — 2010-03-25 14:28:45Z

But just when you think the whole thing has been debunked ... from Sept 9, 2000, the BBC
"Mystery royal burial site found

Archaeologists claim to have discovered two hidden tombs which are the graves of George III's secret granddaughter and her niece in a parish church.
If genuine, the find in St Peter's parish church in Carmarthen, west Wales, would solve a 160-year-old mystery about the whereabouts of the descendants of the king and explain why the monarch donated a pipe organ to the church.

The tombs were found by archaeologists re-tiling the church's historic floor which had subsided.

This is one of the most exciting things - it came as a complete surprise

Nigel Page, Cambria Archaeology

They and the vicar at the church, Canon Randolph Thomas, said today they had had no idea that the bodies were buried beneath the floor.

One of the tombstones is engraved with the name Charlotte Dalton, and the date of her death 1832 which is the same as George III's granddaughter who died aged 27 in that year.

She was from his first marriage, which was kept secret.

'Beats expectations'

The Prince of Wales's wedding in 1759 to Quaker girl Hannah Lightfoot and the births of their three children, were concealed to allow him to marry Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.

The lord chancellor of the day reportedly confiscated the marriage documents and they are believed to held in the Public Record Office.

Charlotte Dalton's mother Sarah married a Carmarthen man James Dalton and Church records said she was buried in the town but did not give an exact location.

The other grave in the historic church bears the name of Charlotte Dalton's niece Margaret Prytherch, and the date of her death aged nine in 1839.

Mr Thomas said: "We had no idea that we were going to find the tombs as there is no record of them in history.

"We did expect some interesting finds but this beats all our expectations."

Re: Buxton Lawn

gumbeaux58 — 2010-03-25 14:03:48Z

It is suspect. I found this info on Rootsweb:
"Hi Paul,

Hi Paul,

I see that you have details of the LAWNs in Halvergate and I wonder if one
of them was a Catharine Lawn(e), who married Charles LAYTON in 1774 at
Norton Subcourse? I have been trying to trace her family. They give the
name of Buxton to one of their sons which makes me suspect that she may
have been related to a Buxton Lawn, whose descendants end up in America. A
possibly pretentious American pedigree 'Buxton Lawn and Mary Dawson' drawn
up by Thomas Layton M.D.P., published in New Orleans 1875, starts with
George Lawn b. 4th June 1738, m. 27th May 1759 to Hannah Lightfoot. Their
son Buxton Lawn is born 1760, m Mary Dawson in 1781. They have a son Buxton
Lawn jr. b. 1782, and another son with the name Robert Lawn Layton b. 1786
(same year as Charles' and Catherine's son Robert)!! He goes on to found a
whole Layton dynasty, but the curious thing is where the Layton name
suddenly comes from. There are no places of birth given but clearly the
pedigree starts in England and someone emigrates - but who and when? The
Lord Mayor of London (Mr Dorson -Dawson) and Horatio Nelson (son of Edmund
Nelson, rector of Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk) are woven into the fabric -
which may not be as fanciful as it seems. Can you give me any details?

Regards,

Ian (G.) Layton (Sweden)"

Who is Gearge Lawn and was Hannah Lightfoot married to George III?

Re: Lawn and Henaghan - marriage

Blackbird38 — 2009-08-28 05:30:22Z

Thank you for responding. I do have this marriage record and I believe it is the correct one. I have a corresponding one exactly one month earlier, in Toomore Parish/District - the names are spelt as Heeneehan and Lavon but clear it is the same marriage as the witness Jane Rock is the same. I was told that if you were married in a district different than your own you had to register the event in your parish - hence the marriage registration in Drumrat one month later. Can you confirm that this 2nd registration is required?

Hi Roy,

Thank you for your enquiry and the information.

Re: Lawn and Henaghan

I'm still interested in Lawns too and was notified of these 2 posts. However your Lawns don't sound as if they're connected in any way to mine, Roy.

Re: Lawn and Henaghan

chasa_1 — 2009-08-15 08:38:09Z

hello,
Yes, I still monitor this board :)
The only LAWNs frm co Mayo I have in my records is a Henry Lawn (sometimes spelled LAWNE)from Streamstown (near Westport). He Lived from 1822 to 1883, and was married in 1851 but as far as I can tell only had one daughter.

I did find this marriage record in Co Sligo:

Date of Marriage: 23/03/1840
Parish / District: DRUMRAT
County: Co. Sligo
Husband: John Lawn
Wife: Catherine Heeneehan
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Witness 1: Peter Lawn
Witness 2: Jane Rock

Drumrat is pretty close to Co. Mayo, so I suspect this is your ancestor. This is all the info that was given, so I don't know who Peter Lawn is-- maybe John's father or a brother? I hope this helps...

Re: Lawn and Henaghan

Blackbird38 — 2009-08-15 06:52:47Z

Don't know if anyone is still referencing this thread but I too an trying to trace my great, great grandfather, and great grandfather's family in Ireland. My g.g. grandfather was John Lawn born about 1806, and married to Catherine Henaghan (Henihan, Hanaghan). They had two sons John Lawn Jr born about 1840 and Timothy born 1842 in Foxford, County Mayo. The death notice for his mother Catherine Henaghan states that she was from County Mayo as well. However, we can find no other records in county Mayo of the Lawns. John Lawn Sr emigrated to Cda in the mid-1850's and acquired a Land Patents in Quebec in 1857, and 1871.

Re: LAWN one name study/ Ireland database

Blackbird38 — 2009-08-15 04:18:13Z

Hi Heather -My wife and I are researching her Great Great Grandfather John Lawn from County Mayo, Ireland. He was born approx. 1806 and he married Catherine Henaghan who was born 1821 in Ireland. They had 2 children, John Lawn Jr, born 9 Jan 1840 in County Mayo, and Timothy Lawn born Dec 1842, Foxford, County Mayo. The family emigrated to Canada and settled in Quebec receiving Land Patents there in 1857. Any info you have on Lawns in County Mayo would be very welcome.....

Rebecca Rosena LAWN and Elizabeth LAWN

@@donfaulkner@dccnet.com — 2009-07-08 21:48:40Z

Heather - back in the year 2000, I contacted you to see if you had any info on my grandmother Rebecca Rosena LAWN (B. Liverpool 1859/60) as I was unable to find any confirmation of her birth date. After a great deal of searching, I finally found her in the 1861 census of Liverpool under the name Rebecca Ros. TRACY and I was able to obtain her birth registration (b. March 3, 1859) and discovered her parents were Patrick TRACY and Elizabeth LAWN, both born in Ireland.

It immediately became clear why I could find no record of Rebecca's birth but the answer raised other questions. Why, for example, did she adopt her mother's maiden name and who was the Peter LAWN she named as her father in her marriage registration?

Elizabeth was born about 1836 in Ireland - my guess it was in Donegal where most of the Irish LAWNs are found - and she died in Liverpool October 18, 1864 (from the registration of her death). She and her husband were buried in SS Peter and Paul RC Church graveyard at Great Crosby just north of Liverpool. Beyond that, I know nothing of her.

Do you, or does anyone, have any info on Elizabeth?

Mary LAWN c1797, NORFOLK, ENGLAND.

ernie526 — 2009-02-28 22:10:10Z

Mary Lawn born circa 1797 in Norfolk, England married in 1820 in Norfolk to William Bloomfield born c1787 in Norfolk. They had at least eight children :- Joseph 1814, John 1821, Samuel 1826, Elizabeth 1829, Lawn 1830, Lydia 1833, George 1839 and Eliza 1839.
Does this match your family?

Re: More on Michael LAWN from Donaghmore

keewik — 2008-11-09 10:35:44Z

I have no doubt this is my Letitia - the age and father are correct. She appears in the 1851 Scottish Census as a spinster (and power loom weaver), so she must have returned to Ireland after that, which would account for the fact I can't find her death in the Scottish Records.

Re: More on Michael LAWN from Donaghmore

chasa_1 — 2008-11-08 23:48:32Z

Hi,

This appears o be the same Letitia LAWN (daughter of Michael LAWN of Donaghmore). Seems she was married in 1853, although you mentioned the family was already in Scotland by that time. Perhaps she stayed behind? I notice that the witness was William LAWN, not her father Michael.
This records is from the Irish World Heritage Center, who hold the official records for County Tyrone. Donaghmore seems to span several counties, since the records pop up in Tyrone, Donegal and Derry.

Anyhow, here is the transcription:

Civil Marriage Record
Date of Marriage: 24/08/1853

Occupation: FARMER

Witness 1

Witness 2

More on Michael LAWN from Donaghmore

chasa_1 — 2008-09-30 21:02:22Z

Hi,

Here is some more info on Michael LAWN name appearing in Donaghmore records:

Religious Census of 1766:
Michl. LAWN (transcriber notes it may actually be "Nichl" as in Nicholas?)
Listed as protestant family in Donaghmore

1796 Spinning wheel premium entitlements list, County Donegal:
Michael LAWN, Donaghmore

1828 Tithe Appointment record
Michael LAWN
(I don't have the details for this one-- I just found the name in an index for C. Donegal

There are also 2 Michael LAWNS listed in the 1857 Griffiths evaluation, but I guess your Michael LAWN was already in Scotland by then.

Hope this helps.

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

chasa_1 — 2008-09-30 20:41:35Z

oops, I see I've already sent that info 2 years ago. Sorry for the repetition... should have read back through he whole thread. However, I recently obtained some LAWN records from county Derry (but very close to Donegal) and some go back to the late 18th century...

Scanning through I find one more Isabel:

From the register of Lifford Roman Catholic Parish:

Baptized: March 13, 1789
Name: John LAWN
Father's name: William LAWN
Mother's name: Isabel O'Hugerty
No godparents listed

Again, married name instead of Maiden name, but perhaps THEY had a daughter named Isabel? A least the time frame is closer.

Hope this helps

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

chasa_1 — 2008-09-30 20:20:09Z

Hi,

i have seen another Isabella LAWN, also a married name:

Parish Register: Donaghmore Church of Ireland
Baptism
Child’s name: Margaret LAWN
Birth date: July 28th, 1827
Christening date: July 29th, 1827
Father’s name: William LAWN
Mother’s name: Isabella LAWN
Minister: E. Marks

Could be they had a daughter named Isabella... but there is no record of an Isabella being baptized (the records are very spotty though, so that doesn't really mean anything).

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

sheenamac — 2008-09-24 22:21:18Z

Thanks for your reply. Edward's surname, of course, is McTague/Montague - it's his mother who was the Lawn. Barrhead/Neilston is interesting because it's not that far from Greenock where they ended up.

I've noticed reference to an Isabella Lawn, but I think that's been the married name. For my Isabella Lawn, it's her single name.

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

keewik — 2008-09-24 14:55:29Z

I'm convinced all the Lawns must be connected in some way since it's such an unusual name. However I haven't yet come across an Edward. My Lawns went to the Barrhead/Neilston area in Renfrewshire, so you might try searching Censuses there (thoush, as I say, I haven't found an Edward). I also once came across a couple of them on LDS in the Paisley area, also Renfrewshire, so that could be another place to search.

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

sheenamac — 2008-09-24 10:25:27Z

I've been watching the communication about the Lawns with interest. I have an Isabella Lawn (or Laivin) m Owen McTague/McTigue/Montague. Their son Edward was b Ireland 1801 but I don't know where. They came to live in Scotland. I wonder if there's any connection.

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

keewik — 2008-09-24 09:07:41Z

Thank you so much for that information. I have a number of lines that go back to Ireland, and I've been unable to trace any of them before they came to Scotland, which is very frustrating. I looked on Google Earth yesterday for Donaghmore and there seemd quite a number of them. However I assume from what you say, it's the Donegal Donaghmore.

Sadly my Michael Lawn is not yours as he came to Scotland with the family, then lived and died here. I have the following information ...

Born - 1823/24 in Ireland (according to 1851 and 1881 Censuses)
Died - 24th. March, 1889 at Barrhead, from a diseased kidney.
Married – 7th. March 1851 to Mary Gillespie. From the LDS site and from 1881 Census, and Michael’s death entry, it shows they had at least 8 children, some of whom ended in the same type of jobs as some of Isabella Lawn’s children (steam loom cotton weaver).

I have further information on marriages and children of Michael, and they also remained in Scotland.

Thanks again for your help.

Isabella.

Re: Lawn and McTague/McTigue/Montague

chasa_1 — 2008-09-23 21:12:51Z

Hello,

Yes, this does sound like the same family. i checked my notes, and here is one more record:

Parish Register: Donaghmore Church of Ireland
Baptism
Child’s name: Letitia LAWN
Birth date: April 21st, 1828
Christening date: May 4th, 1828
Father’s name: Michael LAWN
Mother’s name: Rebecca LAWN
Minister: E. Marks

Even though the mother's name is wrong, I doubt there could be that many Letitia LAWNs around at that time. It could well be that "Isabella" was transcribed incorrectly as "Rebecca". Spelling is often pretty bad/indecipherable in these things.
BTW, these are transcriptions obtained from the Donegal Ancestry Centre, who are the official keepers of the church records from this region. I have have obtained all of the LAWN records from Donegal up to 1850, and this one and the Baptism record of Isabella are the only ones that fit your family. Of course, the records from this time were quite spotty, so it isn't surprising that only two of the baptism records still exist.
By the way, do you know when your Michael (Jr.) was born? My ancestor was also a Michael LAWN, and he was probably from Donegal, but I have not been able to track his roots. He immigrated to Philadelphia in 1830, and was probably born around 1800-1810. I believe his father's name was also Michael, but I'm not really sure. Also, he was Catholic, whereas it seems Michael + Isabella were COI, so it doesn't seem like a good fit.
In any case, I'm interested if you have more info about this family, since I am always trying to get more info about Michael LAWNS who were around Donegal in that time period.

Hello! I've only joined Ancestry tonight and found this post (I know it's old!)about a Lawn family, which sounds very like the one I've been trying to track down. I have a Michael Lawn married to an Isabella Stewart in Ireland, with son Michael and daughters Letitia, Isabella and Elizabeth (may be more family but these are the only ones I've found). They were in Neilston, Scotland by 1950. I thought my Isabella might have been born around 1834 but I suppose that could have been a mistake or maybe the ealier one died.
Does this sound to you like the same family, and if so, do you have any more information?

Hi Rossa,
my family are Lawn`s from just outside Donegal Town, townland of Drumadoney. It would be interesting to compare notes. I visit Donegal often.

Regards
James
