Hello, Birchell, You must be a descendant of the Coslow and Costello Dawson family of Anderson Co., KY!! Are you? There was a Cosetello Dawson that had a son, Richard Dawson, and he lived in at least Franklin Co. and Anderson Co. and he had a son, Costello, and Costello had a son he named Coslow, etc. And I believe they were also in Mercer Co., at times. So I concluded you had to be kin to them at least. I am a Dawson descendant of an Anderson Co. KY family. My GGgrandmother was Robina Dawson, and she married for sure in 1846 a Leonard Young who was 20 yrs. her senior. She was 29 when she married him and she already had at least a boy and a girl. The boy was my Ggrandfather, Thomas J. Dawson. Cannot find her married to a Dawson, or anyone else other than this Leonard Young. Would you know anything of this family?
