Would anyone have any info on DAWSONs in Preston County? I'm searching
for data on DAWSONs who have been there since at least 1853....I have an
original county/state tax receipt for 1853 for Jaz (James) C. DAWSON;
the receipt was listed by William Elliot, Sheriff. This was James
Cephas DAWSON (wife, Anna MOORE). James (1811-1884) was the father of
the following: John Nelson, Henry Franklin, Rebecca, Elizabeth
(Seaborn), Thomas Wesley, Rachel, Harriet, Elisha, Rhoda (a spinster),
Lavinia and Lloyd (a bachelor).
James Cephas DAWSON lived at one time in German Settlement; Lloyd
DAWSON and sister, Rhoda DAWSON, resided in Eglon.
Any information on anyone in this family or the German Settlement and
Eglon would be much appreciated.
