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.

to LV:
No sources here, but I show that William m (1) Charlotte Holst abt 1815
>(2) Nancy Lee 1819 - she died 1849 (3) Charlotte Ender 15 Oct 1851 Jefferson Co, TX. I don't have any of the kids.

That's curious. I have Nancy as #1, married about 1822 and Charlotte as #2, married after 1823. But I don't recall who sent me this info or if any sources came with it. We need to find out because if Nancy was #2, then she was mother of all of William's known children.

The marriage of William Carr and Charlotte (?) Ender is dated 30 Oct 1851 in _Jefferson County, Texas Marriage Records, 1837-1899_ compiled and published by Mrs. Frances Terry Ingmire. Charlotte was born in Germany and apparently the second wife of Jacob Ender. One of her step-children married one of William's sons.

William's children, all listed on the 1850 Jefferson Co census, were Levi, Rachel, John, Sarah, Mary Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Matilda, Serena, Alzena.
Alzena married John Jay Burrell, son of George and Nancy Eliza French.

Listed on 1844 Texas tax records.
