RE:wILLIAM lASSWELL-1639
Steven, I am rather late in finding your message on William Lasswell.I am related to the Lasswells through Jesse Lasswell and Jenny Windsor Milton, their son Uriah Lasswell & his wife Mary Slack, their daughter Catherine Jane Lasswell.
I have been researching this name since the early 1970's.Are you familiar with the research of Josephine Short Lynch?As far as I know, she was the first to work on this line in the 1960's.She even had some professional research done.
By the time I came along, Josephine was no longer with us, but she turned her research information over to a gentleman named Paul Garrison who lived in Oklahoma City, where I also co-incidentally lived at the time.
Over the years, I lost track of Paul, but do have information from Denzil Garrison, who must be related to Paul in some way.
Denzil found a christening record for a William Lasswell in Saint Vigor Church in Fulbourne, Cambridge Co, England.His work is very well documented and it is his belief that William was the son of Robert Lasswell born before 1610, however, there is no proof (at least in the information that I have).
I would be happy to share this information if you do not have it, but I cannot figure out how to get it out of my Legacy program and into an e-mail short of printing & scanning.There is a LOT of it.
