Notes for Lawson Eli Quesinberry
Index to Kentucky Death Records lists Lawson Quesinberry, d. 10 Nov 1932, age 71, in Rowan Co., certificate Vol. 55, #27200.
Census
1890 Tax Rolls of Hogtown Prec., Rowan Co., KY, lists on p. 36, line 18:
Lawson Quesinberry, no land, 1 male over 21, 1 child 6-20.

(People in other categories are not enumerated. I did not record other property as there were 100 columns for each line in this register!)

1900 census of Rowan County, Kentucky, Hoggtown twp, precinct #4, district #116, sheet #16, lists as family #279:
Lawson Kwisnberry, 9-1862, age 37, farmer; Martha, 4-1863, age 37; married 19 yrs, 12 children, 12 living; John, 11-1882, age 17; Isaac, 10-1880, age 16; Nancy J., 2-1885, age 15; William, 4-1886, age 14; Mahala, 9-1887, age 12; Mary, 3-1889, age 11; Joseph, 9-1890, age 9; Andrew, 8-1892, age 7; Longry (?)

1910 census of Rowan Co., KY, Morehead prec., lists on page 20A, family #347 (next door to his brother Isaac Quesinberry):
Quesinberry, Lawson, 49, farmer; (w) Martha A., 47; married 28 years, 16 children, 16 living. (d) Malissa, 14; (s) Farish, 13; (d) Hannah, 11; (s) Alfred, 9; (s) Leslie, 7; (s) Leonard, 6; (d) Loren, 4. Again, all are listed as KY KY KY, although it is wrong for Lawson.

1920 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead precinct, p. 167A, lists as family #97:
Quesinbury, Lawson, 57, farmer, WV WV WV; Maggie, 36, wife, Ky Ky Ky; Laurie, 14, dau, Ky Ky Ky; Robert, 12, son, Ky Ky Ky; Andrew, 8, son, Ky Ky Ky. (Robert and Andrew are really children of Maggie and her first husband, even though they were listed as Quesinbury and not Kiser.)

1930 census of Rowan Co., Ky, Morehead, enumerated 14 Apr, lists on p. 3B as family #67:
Quesinberry, Lawson, 68, widowed, b. Va Va Va; Dee, son, 8; Carl, son, 7; Vada, dau, 4 9/12; Millard, son, 3 5/12. All children born Ky Va Ky.

5 days after this census was taken, Lawson married for the third time.
Notes for Maggie Belle Campbell
Since Maggie was born after 1880, and married before 1900, she does not appear on any census with her parents. Their names are from her marriage record to Lawson Quesinberry.

The only William Campbell in Carter Co. 1880 and 1900 censuses of the generation one would expect to be her parents has a wife named Margaret, though, not Fannie.
Notes for Lawson Eli & Maggie Belle (Family)
Rowan Co. marriage book 11, p.79 records marriage license (no return) issued on 25 Mar 1919 to Lawson Quisenberry, 57, widowed, s/o Oliver & Mahala Quisenberry, to Maggie Kizer, 36, widowed, d/o William & Fannie Campbell.

Maggie had 8 children by her first husband.
