Catherine (her x mark) Lawless

 

I, William G. Lawless of the County of Green & State of Alabama as Heir & adult and Legal distribute of John Lawless late of Troup County & State of Georgia deceased do hereby acknowledge due and legal service of this within & forgoing original notice hereby waiving the necessity of a three months notice in one of the public Gazettes of Said State of Georgia as required by the Statute of force in said State.  Cash mentioned in such made & provided together with all other exception here and there to this 8th day of Oct. 1849.

W. G. Lawless

State of Alabama Green County

This day personally appeared before me B. P. Ferrill an acting Justice of the Peace in & for the County and State aforesaid William G. Lawless who acknowledges legally the services contained in the above matter and signed this same in my presence given under my hand and seal this 8th day of Oct. 1849.

B. F. Ferrell (seal)

 

Information contained in the Troup Co., GA return book N, page 614 can be summarized here:

Thomas B. Floyd was the administrator of the estate of John Lawless who died intestate.  On the final return the amount inventoried was $1,035 dated 3 Nov. 1857.  People mentioned in the return that received money were Catherine (his widow), W. H. Bigham, W. B. Jones, James M. Lawless, Nancy Lawless, Wm. G. Lawless, S. M. Lawless, Jno. M. Lawless, R. W. Jeter, and Thos. B. Floyd who retained money for Betsey A. Smith and Sarah C. Dinsmond/Dinsmore (married daughters of John).  I do not know who R. W. Jeter is but Catherine's maiden name was Jeter so it could be a brother or her father that money was owed to.  Betsey and Sarah were daughters but I don't know why Thos. B. Floyd retained their money for them, unless they were deceased and he held it for their children.  There were 5 other children that did not receive money and I believe it was because they were minors at the time.

 

Catherine (Jeter) Lawless and Wm. G. Lawless' ages are pretty consistent throughout the census records.  This makes it impossible for Catherine to be Wm.'s mother as she would have been only 12 or 13 years old when he was born.  Okay, not impossible, but improbable.  Therefore I believe that Catherine was a 2nd wife of John Lawless and his first wife died before 1840 and this first wife was probably the mother of the first few children of John.  John's first wife's name may have been Elizabeth.

Notes for JOHN M. LAWLESS:

John M. Lawless was a confederate soldier and died of disease at Brenham, TX.  Sarah (Sallie) remarried after the death of John and is buried at the Tryon Cem. in Kurten, TX under the name of Sallie Sherrod.  Sallie has a dau. named Lula in 1870.  Lula cannot be the dau. of John since he died in 1863.  Sallie and Lula are going by the surname of Lawless so this is before Sallie married Carr B. Sherrod.  It is unknown who Lula's father is although Carr names her as his dau. in the 1880 census and she is now going by the surname of Sherrod instead of Lawless.

9.  JOHN H.5 LAWLESS (WILLIAM G.4, JOHN3, JOHN2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1858 in Alabama, and died Bet. 1887 - 1894 in Alabama.  He married MARY C. FOSTER December 21, 1880 in Jefferson Co., AL.  She was born February 1860 in Alabama.

 

Notes for JOHN H. LAWLESS:

I have not been able to find any John Lawless that would fit this man in any census records, except in his father's household.  I don't know if he came to Texas with the rest of his family but I don't think he did.  He lived, married, and probably died in Jefferson Co., AL.  His wife's name was M. C., I think perhaps it was Mary C.  In the 1900 census there are 4 Lawless children named as step-children to William J. Harris, their mother is named Mary C.  I think John died and Mary remarried.  Unknown when he died but his last child was born in 1887 so he at least lived until then.  William and Mary Harris have been married for 6 years at this time (1900), so they had to have been married about 1894 and their first child was born Nov. of 1895.
