Diane,
Thank you for checking on this for me. I thought it was Sweden, but could
not read the Swedish part, so I was unsure. Someone else suggested the "NY"
may be initials for unknown. I have since found the 1900 census which does
list Sweden as birthplace. Thank you again for your time and effort.

Hi Gwen,
To my eye, it appears to say that Charles A. Lawson, 62yrs old, married (1
time) for 40 yrs was born in Sweden (spoke Swedish); father born in Sweden
(spoke Swedish); mother born ?? It may say N.Y.?? (There is another entry
on the following page with those same 2 initials), although it would seem
strange to have mother born in the US and then go to Sweden where Charles
is reported in this census as being born? , Yr of naturalization was 1851.
Are Charles and Virginia in White County for other censii to double check
that census entry- or did they have children that you could check their
census entry? I have the 1900 census, which also lists parents place of
birth - let me know if you think they were in White County at that time
(and township if at all possible, as I have no index) and I will look
through it for you.
I note there is a Charles A. Lawson b. 1/20/1846 d. 10/5/1914 and a
Virginia Lawson b. 5/21/1847; no death date (same stone) buried at
Layne/Lane Cemetery, Big Creek Twp, White Co, as per White County Cemetery
Index - there are no other Lawsons in that cemetery.
