Russell County Court

Harvey Lawless, from Russell County Kentucky?

He was my great-grandpa. Can anyone find his birth and death date? I looked on Ancestry.com. I could not find him. I think he may have died in the early 50’s.

Family rumer is he killed his dad in self defence. So there may be court records on him. He was very young when they said it happened, they say he was 8 or 9 years old.
