JUDGE AARON LAWSON was born January 31, 1833, in Barren County, Ky., where
he grew up, and in 1857 removed to Edmonson County and located at
Brownsville, where he remained until 1868.  He then removed to Horse Cave,
Hart County, where he remained two years, after which he removed to his
present residence in Edmonson County.  His father, Aaron Lawson, Sr., was
born in Hardin County, Kyk., in 1792.  He was a farmer and son of David
Lawson, who was born in Kentucky, and was of Irish descent.  Aaron Lawson,
Sr., married, about 1812, Elizabeth, daughter of William Rose.  From this
union sprang Jonathan, Mary (Williams), Bennett, Catharine (Clark),
William (deceased), Thomas M., Elizabeth (Bowles), Sarah (Lawson), Aaron
and Frances M. (Johnson).  Judge Aaron Lawson married, September 9, 1858,
Ursula, daughter of John and Margaret (Gott) Walker, of Edmonson County. 
To them have been born Sarah A., Robert N., Emma, Nettie, John W. and
Maggie E.  Judge Lawson began life first as a farmer for one year, and
afterward as county and circuit clerk of Edmonson County.  After about
seven years spent in this way he again engaged in farming, and was
afterward elected county judge of Edmonson County, which position he now
holds.  He, his wife and four children are members of the Christian
Church, to which he has belonged for about twelve years.  The Judge is a
bright member of the Masonic fraternity, in which he has taken the Royal
Arch degree.  He is one of the influential men of his county, and in
politics is a Democrat and Prohibitionist.
