> This is my Thomas Dawson, father of my William Dawson, father of Sarah
> Dawson who married Avington Muckleroy (other spellings).
> You will notice that he was transported by Ann Perin. We discussed the
> Perins a while back. A lady who researched with me had a doubt as to the
> being transported. She said that there was a practice of using that for 
> the
> money/land.
> You may notice that he was also listed as a Merchant. I say "He" because I
> found the name in a location where I would expect him to be. I have been
> wrong before. :-) My Thomas was the only Dawson in the area at the time
> (Martin had not come yet) so I assumed he was the one transported.
>
> I filed on William for DAC and it was accepted. I may have assumed that 
> one
> of the service items I sent in were for him. Someone else pointed out to 
> me
> that his Dawsons who were in another county (in NC) were more likely to be
> one ones in the French and Indian War list by Mertie (can't think of her
> name right now). He may have a point because the captain of the group was
> also from that county. I had shared the information with a professional
> genealogist whom I knew had a client of my line and she filed on him
> apparently right away for her client using that information. I did have
> another item in my papers that would prove his service though. DAC has 
> some
> slightly different requirements. I did manage to file 4 applications near
> the same time. 3 were on my Mackelroys (other spellings).
>
> Back to the Other Dawsons - The line the lady is referring to is what we
> call the Martin Dawson line. That line apparently was in Isle of Wight
> earlier. I'm a little shaky on their earlier information. But as I said,
> Thomas was in Henrico earlier than Martin. When Henrico was divided, 
> Thomas
> was in Goochland and Martin in Amherst.

> Feel free to pass on what I sent if you know anyone who is interested. I
> worked on the line a long time, but there are still some things that need
> more work.

> I was interested in the other material in what you sent. I think it will 
> be
> easier if I go to that and do a reply.
