James Lawson was married when he started his family with Sarah Reaves. JAMES LAWSON AND SARAH REAVES NEVER MARRIED. THE FAMILY TRADITION HAS IT THAT IN ADDITION TO HIS FIRST WIFE AND SARAH REAVES, JAMES LAWSON RAN OFF IN 1870 AND HAD A FAMILY WITH ANOTHER WIFE. IRENE REAVES DEGNEN, A GREAT GREAT GRANDAUGHTER OF SARAH REAVES THROUGH SARAH'S SON JAMES BARTON REAVES, HAD A DNA ANCESTRY TEST DONE. THE RESULTS WERE THAT IRENE REAVES DEGNEN'S DNA IS 82% EUROPEAN AND 18% NATIVE AMERICAN. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 6 OF THE 18% NATIVE AMERICAN DNA IS FROM SARAH REAVES. THAT INDICATES THAT EITHER SARAH REAVES WAS ALL OR MOSTLY INDIAN OR THAT BOTH SARAH REAVES AND THE FATHER OF JAMES BARTON REAVES WERE EACH ABOUT 1/2 INDIAN.
