Richard Crowe, a retired economics professor from Hazard Community and Technical College, will present William Lawson, Revolutionary Scotsman. Professor Crowe’s ancestor, William Lawson, was a Scotsman who fought the British and lost. Sent to the American colonies as an indentured servant, he eventually escaped and became a land-owning farmer. He came back into military service to aid the Revolutionaries at the Battle of Kings Mountain, along with his son, also named William. Both men are patriots in the Daughters of the American Revolution and William, Sr.’s grave has been marked by The Carter’s Fort Chapter, NSDAR.
