FRAZIER Y. LAWSON, Jr., Butler County, was born in Hopkinsville, Ky., 
January 24, 1846.  His father was Frazier Young Lawson, also a native of 
Hopkinsville, Christian County, a tailor by trade, and for many years a 
dealer in dry goods in the same town.  In 1859 he removed with his 
family to Russellville, Logan County, where he was the owner of a fine 
farm, and where he reared and educated his family of fourteen children, 
seven of whom are now living.  They are Volumnia (wife of John T. 
Woodard), Lucy Jane, David Moses (a merchant of Bowling Green), Frazier 
Young, Jr., William Hopson (a trader in Dallas, Texas,), James Henry (in

his other occupation.  He was also engaged for some time in business at 
Russellville, Logan County.  February 10, 1882, he was united in 
marriage to Miss Mattie, the youngest daughter of Allen C. and Adeline

Sr., died on May 25, 1865.  His widow died August 2, 1883.  She was a 
native of Virginia, born near Lynchburg, July 6, 1811, and was a
