The 70th annual reunion of the descendants of Consider Law was held on July 4 at the Paris Hill Congregational Church with over ninety in attendance... There are very few of the descendants now living who bear the name of Law. Consider Law, a Revolutionary patriot, was the father of six daughters and two sons and the sons' children were mostly daughters. This accounts for the scarcity of the surname Law among his posterity... - Daily Sentinel July 6, 1935
