According to Carlton R. Adamson, Sr. (Foster Researcher), Jane Lawson Foster received a land grant from Texas on September 1, 1845 [Founders and Patriots of the Republic of Texas].
-------------------------------------
Then Margaret Barcley says something mysterious: (Jane Lawson Foster)
"made a deed to James Barclay and one to William John Lawson - supposedly her
son by a cousin of hers - previous to making her will, in which she left her property
to her son, William Lewis........" And she lists William John Lawson as
Jane's eldest child.
