Said to be the ubiquitous " Cherokee wife" labeling; but, would be more likely to be Cheraw who were Regulators, Peace keepers between Cherokee and the opening up of unlicensed trade as of 1750, which made for chaos without said Regulators. That community came from Lower Chippokes River area (having come from the Dan River) and had Pee Dee lands and South of Anson, NC lands with the Catawba Federation during the Cherokee Wars. The Lawson tithables were native in the New Kent Island Fur Trade Colony of Claiborne at the 1680 era of one family marrying a Bostock Bostick Bostic whose mom was Cumberland Native.

"This is my own belief after reading the historical evidence. The Indian maiden stories were mostly untrue-- a romantic fantasy--with occasional exceptions like the Sizemores. The DNA data suggests that there are very few Indian descendents among white settlers of the tri-state area. Most of the Indian maiden stories originated during the very late 1800s and early 1900s when the Guion-Miller Roll was being assembled. Our ancestors saw $$ signs. During the life of Jacob Lawson the Indians in Tennessee were very unfriendly to white settlers. They killed them when they could and vice versa. You only have to look at the newspapers of the time to come to that conclusion. Remember that Davey Crockett's grandfather was killed by the Cherokee/Creek Indians near Rogersville in Hawkins County, Tennessee in 1777. "
