• Notes

  His children came to Callaway Co. Mo., in 1830 The following is from the Pioneer Families of Missouri book written in 1876, which is not always accurate: DAWSON, Elijah Dawson, of Nelson Co., VA., married a MISS GENTRY, and had Robert, Martin, Elizabeth and James. He was married the 2nd time to JUDITH GILLIAM, by whom he had Achilles G., Mary, Samuel and Judith. Most of his children live in Callaway Co. ** Grandfather and father of Elijah Dawson, from the book Albemarle County in Virginia By Edgar Woods: The name of Dawson has place in the records from the beginning of the county. At the first meeting of the County Court, Martin Dawson was appointed to appraise the estate of Charles Blaney in the vicinity of the Cove. In 1747 he patented three hundred acres on Buck Island, which he sold in 1761 to John Burrus. He lived on Ballenger's Creek, and was no doubt the father of Rev. Martin Dawson, one of the earlist Baptist preachers of Albemarle. The son commenced preaching during the revolutionary War, and as soon as the statute of religious freedom was passed, _ was greatly in demand in this respect as well as in the pulpit. He supplied the Baptist churches throughout the county, but his labors were chiefly given to the Totier Church, which was commonly called by his name. His home was on a farm of more than five hundred acres which lay southeast of Hughes's Shop, and there he finished his earthly course in 1821. His wife's name was Elizabeth, and of their twelve children, Martin, the eldest, removed to Gallia county, Ohio, John in 1812 t Mississippi Territory, and Elijah, who married Martha (daughter of Benajah Gentry) to Missouri.
