Also, yes David Carr would be my grandfather's grandfather however, Joe Lawhon, my grandfather was adopted by the Lawhon family in 1910 by Isaac and Alma Lawhon. I don't know much about my biological grandparents but that their names were supposed to be Randolph or Randall or something and they were both Doctors from Ireland. They'd been killed in a car accident I believe in Ft. Worth, Texas. My grandfather Joe was taken into the Edna Gladney Orphanage in that year in Dallas Ft. Worth. It could have been actually 1909 to 1911 but I have Joe's birthday in 1910. My adoptive grandfather Isaac was an Attorney there in Beaumont, Texas and they also adopted Doris, my grandfather''s sister. I do remember my grandfather telling me I had red hair because of our Irish.

Notes:

LAWHON, DAVID E. (1811?1884). David E. Lawhon, soldier, judge, and publisher of the Nacogdoches Texian and Emigrant's Guide, was born in Morgan or Roan County, Tennessee, on June 15, 1811. He learned the printer's trade and during his early life worked in several different cities. Lawhon and his brother, Dr. John C. Lawhon, moved to Texas from Natchitoches, Louisiana, about November 1, 1835. Soon after he arrived in Nacogdoches, Lawhon volunteered for service in the Texas army, but when it was discovered that he was a printer, local officials convinced him that he could render better service to the Texas cause in the printing business than in the army. William G. Logan, a merchant who had purchased a newspaper printing press that Milton Slocum had brought to Nacogdoches in 1829, persuaded Lawhon to publish a newspaper. The first issue of the Texian and Emigrant's Guide appeared on November 28, 1835. Lawhon also printed war proclamations and legal blanks during the winter of 1835?36. He continued to publish the Texian and Emigrant's Guide until January or February 1836; sometime thereafter he joined the army and was severely wounded. After the Texas Revolution he married Nancy Carr, with whom he had six children. Around 1839 the family settled in Jefferson County, where Lawhon went into stock raising. He served eight years as county judge, then moved to Bastrop County around 1860. He later moved to Williamson County, where he died on February 14, 1884.
