Elizabeth Lawton (Tallman) - Isaac Lawton

Hello Jeff. What information I have says George II and Elizabeth Hazard Lawton did not have a son named Isaac. Their children were Mary, Isabell, John, George III, Robert, Susanna, Ruth, Mercy, Job and Elizabeth.
As for Thomas and Elizabeth Salisbury Lawton (not sure why he is II as he is the son of George) they did have a son named Issac along with one named Daniel and four daughters, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Ann, Mary.
Hope this helps. Tim Kilburn

Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode lists no Isaac born to George Lawton and Elizabeth Hazard, but rather to Thomas Lawton, b. ?; d. 1681 and _______. Isaac born: 11 Dec 1650, d. 25 Jan 1732.

The source Jeff Gentes suggested, The Shurtleff and Lawton Families: Genealogy and History... agrees, although I don't know if they used Austin as a source. And Austin has been wrong before.

What is interesting to note is that 7 of the 11 names of Isaac's children (listed by Austin) match 7 of the 10 names of George II and Elizabeth Hazard Lawton's children listed above by Steven K. (and Austin): Mary, Isabell, John, Susanna, Ruth, Mercy, Job and Elizabeth. This seems more than coincidence even though these names were used often during this time period. I think Isaac was naming his children after his siblings, and therefore was the son of George and Elizabeth Hazard Lawton.

The only source I have so far besides Familysearch pedigree files is: Steve Condarcure's New England Genealogy Index - http://www.genealogyofnewengland.com/b_l.htm. But he admits he has no sources. Hopefully I can research this tomorrow as i must get up in 6 hours.

Sorry Mercy was included by mistake. That wasn't one of the names of Isaac's children, but it still leaves the total at 7 identical names.

Just saw this which doesn't look promising:

Based on the sources we have, I'm going to set him as the child of Thomas Lawton, II & Elizabeth Lawton (Salisbury). If anyone finds sources that would suggest otherwise or that George Lawton, Jr. & Elizabeth Lawton (Hazard) had a son named Isaac who married one of spouses of the other Isaac, please share and we'll discuss / correct as needed.

Seems to be most of the references for Isaac Lawton state that he is the son of Thomas Lawton.

Vital record of Rhode Island : 1636-1850 : first series Pg.29 lists the marriage of Isaac Lawton, of Thomas and Elizabeth Tallman, of Peter

I have posted several references & links on Isaac's and Elizabeth (Tallman's) profiles.
