Mainly I hate to see messages left unanswered, but I am taking a stab that your Dawson's and mine might cross somewhere. Now the only thing is should I tell the whole story or just outline it. :)

MY DAWSONS:

LEGEND: B: = Born

C: = Christened

M: = Married

D: = Died

John Dawson (Unknown) married Margaret Jarvie (or Jarviec) in Mary Hill, Lanark Scotland on 8 April, 1821. # children found: Janet Dawson (B: 22 June, 1822: C: 7 July, 1822 in Barony, Lanark, Scotland); Emberson Dawson (B: 5 Dec, 1824; C: 26 Dec, 1824 in Barony); EMERSON DAWSON (B: 19 Nov, 1826 {this could be the Christening Date instead of Birth Date} in Barony).

Note: Agnes McNeil had a sister named Sarah, born 11

Dec,1821 in St. Quivox, Ayr, Scotland)



Anne Frew may have been born in Bathgate, W. Lothian,

Sco. on 26 Aug, 1801.

Emerson Dawson M: Agnes Mc Neil (daughter of Thomas Mc Neil and Anne Frew. Agnes Born on 31 May, 1827.) on 13 July, 1855 in Stevenson, Ayr, Scotland. They had, at least, 9 children:

John Dawson (B: 23 Aug, 1855 in Stevenson); Alexander Dawson (B: 11 July, 1857 in Dalry, Dalry, Scotland; D; abt. 1862); Mary Dawson (B: 8 Aug, 1859 n Cambuslang, Lanark, Scotland); Emerson Dawson (B: 15 July, 1861 in Paisley, Renfrew, Sco. {High Church}); Alexander Dawson (B: 27 May, 1864 in Dalry, Dalry, Sco.); MARGARET (Maggie) DAWSON (B:

MARGARET DAWSON:

Married Andrew McGowan (B: 1867 in Old Monkland (Caulderbank), Lanark, Sco.) And had 5 or 6 Children.
It is possible she had Relatives who settled in New York, New York around 1880 to 1905 for we have a picture (seen on the McGowan Genealogy Site at: Http://members.tripod.com/~jtmcgowan/ )
which is dated ca 1901 to 1904 with her son Hugh, who died as an infant. I have a note that indicates that he may have visited a sister, who was married, and I can't remember where I came up with that information from. ;)

That about tells the full tale, my brother ( PMCMAR@aol.com ) may have more data on this than I.

I would really appreciate finding someone who can connect to these Dawsons, and their related families... :)

I would prefer contact through my Address at: Asmodeus@doitnow.com for any replies, but I am not overly picky.

Thanks
