Other postmasters were John Osbourne and G. Ullman. That is all the info found in the book. The info was taken from original records here in Charlotte. I don't know anything else about the Lawson family. There is no way of knowing from this book if the mulitple listings for a name refer to the same person or not. I hope this helps a little. Good luck!
