Richard Lawson was born ca 1635. He married Bahee Kewn on the 1st of July, 1656, at Jurby Church. (The IGI shows the names of the parties as Ric Losson and Bahey Kewne.) The witness's names are not given, but both parties are of Jurby parish. Richard was the miller at Lhen Mooar, Andreas, at the time of his marriage. Lhen Mooar is right on the border of the parishes of Jurby and Andreas. Richard died at Andreas on the 17th of December, 1705 and was buried the next day at Jurby (entered also in the Andreas register).
The Chapter Court held on the 28th of June, 1654, at Jurby heard the presentment of Richard Lawson of KK Andreas “for being farming on the Lords Day in tyme of publick worship in ye evening”. In 1662 Richard was one of three men presented to the Andreas Chapter Quest for fishing on a Sunday in May. The presentation indicates that Richard was the owner of a fishing boat, probably in partnership with others for in his will of 1705 he leaves his quarter share of the “old boat” together with his share of “five pair of nets” to his son Edward. At the time of his death the boat was possibly in poor state at the time as it is stipulated that his son James was to receive two boards when the boat was broken up.
At the Michael Chapter Court held in October of the same year, with John Camaish, Richard swore out a complaint against Michael Christian junior and his wife for cutting firewood on the Lord's Day.
In 1680 the Comaish family of Ballacomaish were in financial straits as they had been unable to pay the Lords Rent for the past three years. Richard evidently lent them fifty shillings and in return was granted the use (mortgage on) of a parcel of Quarterland for a period of fifteen years and a further five years, i.e., until October 1700
Richard had the right to build a house or houses on the land and at the removal, i.e., at the end of the twenty year period when the land was to revert to the Comaish family on the payment of £5.10, the roofs would be Richard's property. At this time, the houses would have been of sod construction. The roof and ridge pole together with any doors would be made of timber and would be the most valuable part of the house and, most importantly, could easily removed to another location. The annual rent (Lord's Rent?) is quoted as 71d. Richard is to pay a Single rent each year to John Elison and in addition is to pay £3 to the widow of John Ratcliffe, apparently another debt of the Comaish family. It seems that Richard assumed a total of £5 10s of Comaish debts and that the Comaish family had an opportunity to reclaim the property during the final five years of the mortgage by repaying this amount.
In 1692 Richard is mentioned in the Composition book with the Comaish family. At this time he is still in possession of the land and his age is given as sixty-two years, which would confirm his year of birth as 1629-30. At his death in 1705 Richard's will indicates that he was still in possession of the land and had built a house on it.
A bequest in his will left a quarter of an heifer to John Lawson and a further quarter to each of his first son and daughter. Although it is not stated in the will, John was most probably his grandson, the son of James, and would have been about twenty years old at the time. The final quarter of the heifer was left to Thomas Curphey his nephew, the son of his half-sister Katherine and Ewan Curghey.
Patrick Christian is mentioned twice in the will. Patrick was the son, by a previous marriage, of Richard's daughter-in-law, Joney Kaneen. Richard acknowledges that he and his son Edward owe between them nine stooks of corn to Patrick. Further, Edward is left sufficient corn to sow Patrick's croft.

He followed his father as miller at Lhen Moar and was in turn suceeded by his son John. He had a second trade as a weaver as he left his looms to his second son, Richard, with instructions that his youngest son, David, was to be taught the trade.
In 1695, together with William Curlett, he gave John & Mary Comaish a mortgage of £5-18s-8d on a piece of land known as Bally Marten. It is possible that this adjoined the land on which his father had granted a mortgage in 1680 to John & Dorethy Comaish. The following year, 1696, he purchased with his brother Edward a parcel of Quarterland known as Corckan Minan for £2-8s-0d. In 1703 he purchased a piece of Intack known as Brew Croft from John Keey for £1-4s-0d.
