William Law b.4 January 1690 Kemnay son of James Law b. before 1669 Scotland.

Greetings from edlaw@engr.uga.edu

I am seeking information on my Gx5 Grandfather WILLIAM LAW according to Old Parish Register b.4 Jan 1690 in Kemnay son of JAMES LAW b. before 1669 in Scotland. Supposedly William emigrated to James River, Henrico County, Virginia; m. 1715 Elishaba (Elisabeth) Lawson in Bristol Parish, Henrico County, Virginia; d.1733 at Westover Plantation on James River, Virginia. I have confidence of the family line back to William's son John Law, Sr. b.29 Mar 1722 on James River, Bristol Parish, Henrico County,Virginia; m. 14 Nov 1748 to Sarah (Lazinka) Cockram-Cockerham, Franklin County, Virginia; d.18 June 1799 at Simmons Creek, Franklin County, Virginia and listed as one of that county's original settlers arriving in 1790.

If there are any Law descendants in the Kemnay area with information regarding the above family line, I would be very interested in communicating with them (edlaw@engr.uga.edu) . Incidentally, on April 21, 2011 I will be visiting the Aberdeen and NorthEast Scotland Family History Society of which I have become a member and rambling around Kenmay the afternoon of April 20.

Best regards,  Edward Law, Athens, Georgia, USA
