Additional Comments:
Carlo Lawson,son of Ransom Lawson other birth date I have is 15 Oct 1887,this 
taken when Ransom applied for Civil War pension.
Anyone who is not familier with the name Red Bird,Ky. the settlement became known as Beverly,Ky. Red Bird was the name of an old Indian Chief who lived in the area back when Dillion Asher/John & Felix Gilbert first came to the area,the first being John Gilbert. it is still called Red Bird by a lot of people today including myself..
