| (lawson) haught's store was an early stopping point for east texas travellers, by way of the mckenzie's crossing, of the east fork of the trinity. Haught's store in dallas county was in direct competition with nix's store in kaufman county later the town of nix. Haught's store was a good camping spot to get wood and fence post from bois d' arc island, and the east fork bottoms.One of the first businesses in dallas county was a saw mill owned by one of haughts brothers. Haught's store remained a small community in to the 1900s, with a new name of lawson,and was still around in to the 1950's but was in the way of construction for i-20 and that is where the main portion of the town remains, off of lawson road and under i-20 in seagoville. The town of nix is located off fm 460 and i-80. Just take lawson road north to i-80 and go east on i-80 to fm 460 clements road exit (formeley nicholas nix street Submitted by: Michael Depolo |
