The Woman Who Fears the Lord

(Proverbs 31: 30 - 31 ESV)

30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,

but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,

and let her works praise her in the gates.

Today is Grandma Anna Lawson's Birthday!

Scripture tells us that a woman who fears the LORD, will be praised by her descendants and today is a day for us to give the LORD our praise for the godly example Anna Stone Lawson displayed for us.

Dear Father in Heaven,

We thank You for the Christian influence of our Grandmother Anna Lawson. She planted seeds of the Gospel of Jesus Christ deep within our souls as she read Bible stories and spoke of You to us while we sat on her lap and felt her loving arms wrapped around us.

She assured us of her and Your love.

We remember her smile and laughter as we grew up.

We remember the warmth of knowing that You and Grandma would always love us.

Now Grandma is with You and while we miss her warm embrace, we can find comfort in our memories, and in the knowledge that she is with the love of her life - You - for all eternity.

Thank You for allowing us to honor her memory and to look forward to the day we will be reunited in Your presence.

Please comfort her loved ones who still grieve and miss their mother and grandmother.

In LORD Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.

Grandma Lawson as I best remember her - approximately 60 years old.

MacLaren / Lawson Scottish Tartan

Tartan is a pattern consisting of criss-crossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Tartans originated in woven wool, but now they are made in many other materials. Tartan is particularly associated with Scotland . Scottish kilts almost always have tartan patterns. Tartan is often called plaid in North America, but in Scotland, a plaid is a tartan cloth slung over the shoulder as a kilt accessory, or a plain ordinary blanket such as one would have on a bed. Tartan is made with alternating bands of coloured (pre-dyed) threads woven as both warp and weft at right angles to each other. The weft is woven in a simple twill , two over—two under the warp, advancing one thread at each pass. This forms visible diagonal lines where different colours cross, which give the appearance of new colours blended from the original ones. The resulting blocks of colour repeat vertically and horizontally in a distinctive pattern of squares and lines known as a sett. (Wikipedia) ...

William “the Rebel” Lawson and the Battle of Culloden

The Battle of Culloden (Wikipedia) Excerpt from Lawson, William - A Scottish Rebel by Bill Porter and posted online at Electric Scotland : William Lawson was born 26 June 1731 at Montrose, Scotland. He was the only son of a widow lady (1). No information is available on his father. Some believe his name was Robert and may have been killed during the Scottish uprising which culminated in the fatal route and dispersion of the followers of Prince Charles Edward Stuart, "the Pretender" to the throne of Great Britain at the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746. At this battle the British army, under the command of the Duke of Cumberland, killed 1000 of the 5000 Scottish troops in less than an hour and pursued the fleeing rebels, persecuting and prosecuting them and members of their families (2). William Lawson was one of many young Scotsmen arrested and placed in prisons in northern England. Confined at Chester and Carlisle, the Scottish rebels became a threat to...

Where our Lawson family line began:

View of Montrose, Scotland by Alan Morrison (Wikipedia) When I first began researching our branch of the Lawson family, I came across the story of "William the Rebel" Lawson and discovered that we are his descendants. One of the stories I want to share is written by Bill Porter and posted online at Electric Scotland : Battle of Culloden - Wikipedia Lawson, William - A Scottish Rebel William Lawson was born 26 June 1731 at Montrose, Scotland. He was the only son of a widow lady (1). No information is available on his father.

'The Dialect of The Appalachian People'

The Monongahela National Forest; photo taken from slopes of Back Allegheny Mountain looking east ( Valerius Tygart - Appalachian Mountains / Wikipedia ) As our patriarch William (the rebel) Lawson was originally from Scotland, banished to America and then eventually settled in Snowflake, Virginia, I thought this article on The Dialect of The Appalachian People by Wylene P. Dial posted at West Virginia Archives and History would be appropriate to feature here. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The dialect spoken by Appalachian people has been given a variety of names, the majority of them somewhat less than complimentary. Educated people who look with disfavor on this particular form of speech are perfectly honest in their belief that something called The English Language, which they conceive of as a completed work - unchanging and fixed for all time - has been taken and, through ignorance, shamefully distorted by the mountain folk. The f...
