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.

I have a copy of the 1910 Census for White County, page 6139, Honey Creek
Township. On the top line is an entry for Lawson, Charles. I cannot read
what it says for birthplace of person, birthplace of father, or birthplace
of mother. Does anyone have a copy they can read these entries for
me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
