"Francis Ravenscraft Dawson, died 12 July 1881 in Kingwood, WV, but I am hoping there will be an obit in the Cumbeland papers" Hello Lee, I saw you asking about some obits for the Dawson family. I have Francis Ravonscraft Dawson in my files and was wondering if you had a death date for his first wife Leah Knight? And do you know which of his wives was the mother of his daughter Sydney? I do not have a last name for his second wife just the name Sarah. Sydney Dawson married Joseph Leroy Goodrich. Thank you, Carol Vivier
