Hi Cuz;n and others, I just found this information and wonder if any from the Garrison line has any information for me. My Mother's maiden name was DAWS, and as her father Sylvester M. DAWS left her and her mother in 1900 for CA, and "greener pastures" she never forgave him, and would never talk about anyone in the DAWS family. I recently was able to find several members of that family, and was quite surprised to find a living Grandfather that I never knew I had. ( He died in 1942 in CA.) In further research, I find that this Grandfather had other siblings, among them a sister named "Myrtle" After I found a birth record on Myrtle, I found her marriage license that showed she married in Hamilton Co., IL. Daws Myrtle 21 Clarence A. Holland 21 he lived in Franklin Cty married 5-17 1905. Then I next found her enumerated with her Father and Step-Mom on the 1910 US Census, but her husband Clarence or a possible daughter "Myrtle Garnet" was not enumerated. I have been searching for her ever since until today, when I found this entry that was sent to me by a fellow searcher. Daws Myrtle 18 Saline Co., - Amom B. Garrison Saline 22 9-6-1915 ( I suspect that the name "Amom" is a typo for "Amos".........) Does anyone know about this family; what happened to her first husband and daughter, and how about information on Myrtle and Amos ??? Someone must know !! Please check your files, I would be so happy to find a direct line DAWS relative. Thanks, and Good luck in your search. Mary Lou

One more little tidbit that you may or may not have, that I thought I would throw in... Saline Co Cemeteries, Vol VI By: S.C.G.S. Brooks Cemetery, Galatia Twp. (one of the oldest cem. in Co.) DAWES, Louisa, Wife of Dr. Edward DAWES 15 Sept. 1829 - 1 May 1850 Louisa was d/o George & Eliza (Harrel) McCREERY and buried there with her parents. The McCreerys were early settlers in Cave Twp., Franklin Co., and if memory serves George was a descendent of those and lived mostly in north west saline county... seems like Dr. Dawes did a little medicine around Galatia area for a bit after his hitch in the CW...
