Adopted by Coleman and Martha (Tilson) Dawes.
She is listed with Lucius and Frances in the 1870 census in Northampton and with Coleman and Martha in the 1880 census in Springfield. Coleman and Martha are listed as her parents on her death certificate. "The Tilson genealogy : from Edmond Tilson at Plymouth, N E , 1638 to 1911" lists Grace as an adopted daughter. She probably was adopted after the death of both of her parents in 1872-1873. Her oldest sister, Emma (b1859), married Charles Smith in 1884. It is unclear where Emma was from 1870 until her marriage. It is unclear where Marion (b1861) was until she is listed as Louise in the 1880 census as living in a boarding house and working in the button shop in Leeds.
