********************************
I have done quite a bit of research on the Dawson family and some of my information pertaining to Edward Dawson does not correlate with the information provided in the cemetery record. To begin with, Edward Dawson and Margaret Allum did have a son named Edward, but he was born in Queen Anne Parish in Prince George's County, Maryland on 19 June 1730. This Edward Dawson, Jr. had a son named Edward who was born in 1755, served in the Rev. War, and died in Tippecanoe Co., IN. on 28 August 1833. Edward Dawson and Margaret Allum were his grand-parents, not his parents. There are some other items, such as Edward and Hannah's two children were actually born in Washington Co., MD, not Allegany Co., but in the area that is now Allegany Co. Also, Edward enlisted as a Private and served in Captain Daniel Cresap's Company of the Washington County, Maryland, Militia during the Rev. War, and took the Oath of Fidelity and Support in Washington County, Maryland on 16 March 1778.--Jack MacDonald

Theses is some evidence that the Revolutionary War service attributed to Dawson was really that of Edward Davidson.
