Hello Bill – I was sent to you by Tom due to the fact that I am looking for some information. Let me start
Moses Riddle – GG Grandfather of Isabel Fisher
Isabel Fisher married Fielder Goins
they had several children, One of there children’s names was John “Jahue” Goins. Jahu and a woman by the name of Rhoda Lawson (thou never married) had several children, one of there childs name was Rebecca “Beccan” Lawson which is my grandfathers mother. I have found tons of information on the Goins but I have found nothing on Rhoda. I have only pictures. If possible I was hoping you may be able to tell me something about Rhoda Lawson and Moses Riddle.
Charlie,
This is some data abstracted from Fed. Census records.

WILLIS, Mary, 16, niece, Va.
Rhoda’s age varied widely on census records, making her difficult to find.
James Lawson’s wife Elizabeth is the dau of Joseph Willis, b.abt. 1820 Va, and Matilda (Lawson?), b.abt. 1825 Va. (1850 Lee Co., Va Census, Dist. 31, p.319 and 1860 Lee Co., Va Census, Western Dist., p.174)).
Matilda is said to be the dau of Obediah Lawson, b.Feb 1800, d. 1 Nov 1880 Lee Co., and Jane England, b.abt. 1799, d.1865 Lee Co – probable, but it isn’t provable with just census records.
