I just found your post from 2005. Do you know which Countrymans you are looking for? My Countryman line lived in several towns in Iowa including Clinton, however I do not recognize any of the other names you listed. Hope I can help if you are still looking.

Try Marvel Cemetery, LaPlata Co., CO for the final resting place for James & Rachel Dawson.

Look for Jonas Dawson. You'll find his family in Missouri and before that Georgia, NC & SC.

Just one correction to my previous post: R. T. Dawson was born in 1806, not 1824 (he married in 1824).

Searching for male-line descendants of Robert Toombs Dawson of Lisbon, Claiborne Parish, LA

O_ODOM — 2009-10-15 19:24:42Z

I am trying to find a male descendant of Robert Toombs Dawson, still bearing the name Dawson, for possible y-DNA testing. I am also a descendant of R. T. Dawson, but cannot be tested for the Dawson y-DNA since I am not in the all-male Dawson line. R. T. Dawson (1824-1880) was born in or near Wilkes Co., GA, but he and wife Sarah Ann Formby and family moved to Claiborne Parish, LA in the 1850's. They are buried in the Lisbon Cemetery. I know he had at least 2 sons: John William Dawson (1842-1902) and Gabriel Toombs Dawson (1848-1896), so my best bet is probably to find a male-line descendant of one of these sons. In more recent times I know that Grady T Dawson was tax assessor of Claiborne Parish, LA, in the 1950's. I think he was a descendant of Gabriel Toombs Dawson, so a male-line descendant of Grady T Dawson would be great for the y-DNA test. I would be happy to pay for this test if we can find an eligible and willing Dawson participant. The test itself is painless and just involves scraping a few cells from the inner cheek and mailing them to the testing company for analysis. The test results can determine whether or not our Dawsons are related to other Dawson lines. Hope to hear from a Dawson cousin!

Mehatabel Dawson, born approx 1796in Welton, Lincolnshire, I am very interested in anyone who may have a Mehatabel in their family tree somewhere. This is an unusual 1st name so hopefully it will pop up somewhere. She is my 4x greatgrandmother.

Would you have any idea who Alice Stonehill's parents were? It is highly unlikely that the Alice Stonehill whom I mave in my file is your Alice Stonehill (the marriage of William & Alice would have had to be a May -- December matchup), but thought I'd try.

S. D. Dawson

mashadwell — 2009-10-04 22:18:26Z

I have some old Pastor's Memorandums and other writings by a S. D. Dawson of Dawson Maryland and Ridgley West Virginia dating back to the late 1800's and early 1900's. One of the Memorandums names a E. J. Dawson as an "in case of emergency" name. Another names a I. or L. Vanmeter. Does anybody know who these people were?

Re: Alfred Dawson

nicci843 — 2009-10-04 18:47:41Z

Thanks. I did not think of an alternative spelling to Allford. You would think that a search would not exclude that.

Re: Alfred Dawson

keithddawson — 2009-10-03 09:29:26Z

I suggest hat you firstly get hold of the marriage certificate. Winifred V Allford (Note double L) married Alfred J Dawson at Deptford in the third quarter of 1938. Reference 1d 2464.

This should tell you the age and occupation of the groom and the name and occupation of his father. This will help you to get the date of birth of Alfred, and his birth certificate which will help in further searches.

Regards,

Keith (Dawson)

Re: Alfred Dawson

nicci843 — 2009-10-02 22:54:42Z

additional information about Alfred Dawson.

Middle name: John - Alfred John Dawson

his sisters were Vera and Pamela. My grandmother remembers that his father had a common name. She believes it was Charles but not sure.

Alfred Dawson

nicci843 — 2009-10-02 19:22:16Z

I am trying to help my grandmother find out what happened to her father. My grandmother, Pauline Cynthia (Dawson) McAbee was born in London England in 1938 to Winifred Violet Alford and Alfred Dawson. They had a second child 2 years later, Brenda. When my grandmother was about 4 (1943-1944) he left Winifred for good. He was suppose to be in the Royal Air Force and left due to WWII. Checking military records. I only found one Alfred Dawson in the royal air force during WWII and he died presumably in action; however, my grandmother did see him again until 1957 (so wrong Dawson). I am unsure if he was actually in the military or Winifred told my grandmother this because she was so young when he left and never revoked the tale. Rumor has it that he may have remarried and moved to Australia.

Born: around 1920
Place: most likely England probably London
Death: unknown if dead or alive, would be at between 85 and 100

Parents: unknown

Any information will help.

jonesrichard14 — 2009-07-28 15:30:14Z

Hi Sharon

I too am interested in the Dawson family in Chester - I'm just not sure if it's the same one!

My great great uncle - Edward Stanley Dawson - was a publican in Chester. He's shown as the landlord of the Bears' Paw Inn in 1902 but nobody is sure what happened to him thereafter

Does this sound like a match?

I am also interested in Dawsons in Lincolnshire. I don't think it is quite the same family as malcolm1585 though.
My interest is in Isaac Dawson (born c 1831, son of Thomas) and his wife Eliza nee Skerritt (born c 1834 or 1838 daughter of Robert). They lived in Corby near Grantham. He was a licensed hawker.

I would be pleased to make contact with anybody researching the same family.

Dawson and Berry family Suffolk/Norfolk England UK

curveycat1 — 2009-07-30 13:06:41Z

I'm searching for Mary Ann Gay, formerly Dawson nee Berry, from Thornham Suffolk. She was born about 1827 in Thornham (Magna) Suffolk. On October 1861 she married Charles Gay in Westminster, Middlesex. On this marriage cert she was formerly Mary Ann Dawson. Her father is stated as Richard Berry. I have found a marriage of Thomas Dawson to a Mary Ann Berry in 1851 Docking Norfolk. (I haven't sent for the certificate as yet.) Could this be the same Mary Ann Berry?. On the 1861 census I have found a Mary Ann Berry as a widow, born in Gt Thornham, Suffolk. By the end of the year she had married Charles Gay. Does nayone know of Mary Ann Berry's mothers maiden name, and did she have any brothers and sisters. There is a Charles Berry poss born Suffolk and a Hannah Maria Berry, born Eye Suffolk (married Alfred George) possibly related to Mary Ann. I have been told that Eye Suffolk comes under Thornham Magana Suffolk. Can anyone shed any light on these Berry's. I have been down the Berrys of Sudbury Suffolk and the Berrys related to the Lummis family in Suffolk, and far as I know they are a totally different families. Lots of Berrys in Suffolk and Norfolk.

She was a graduate of Willard High School in 1937. In 1940 she graduated from St. Vincent’s Nursing School in Toledo, Ohio. She worked as both a private duty nurse general duty nurse at the Willard and Shelby, Ohio hospitals. At the Shelby Air Force Depot she worked for a year in 1942.

She gave money and time to the Shelby log cabin in which her name can be found.
Eva was a member of the Richland County Democrats, the Universalist Unitarian Church in Bellville, Ohio; National Organization for Women, and a volunteer at Head Start in Shelby. Also she was an avid believer in recycling.

She is survived by her two sons, Jeff (JoAnne) Dawson and Dan (Michele) Dawson, of Mansfield; three grandchildren, Amber, Alex and Chris, of Mansfield, Ohio.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Wayne K. Dawson.

There will be no calling or services for Mrs. Dawson. Contributions can be sent to the Universalist Unitarian Church in Bellville, Ohio.

Specifically, one of their daughters (most likely Fannie) married a Hankins and gave birth to Fannie Elizabeth in Kansas in 1890. Fannie Elizabeth is my g-grandmother. I'm hitting a wall at trying to find out who Fannie Elizabeth's father is. One census has him from Kansas; another Missouri.

Any help would be appreciated
