Dawson isn't there anymore but that is where it was. Dawson was between Lincoln twp. and Burlington Jct. There are maps on the USGENWEB.COM if you go into the Missouri page then the county one for Nodaway there are maps. Then you can also go back to the Missouri page and down close to the bottom there is a link that says Find out what county a city is in ... Use the USGS/GNIS if you go into this site you can search for a town you are looking for and then on the next page click the town you want then it will take you to a page telling you what alll names it went by and at the bottom of that page click where it says Show feature location and it will take you to where you can see where it was. If you do these things you will see that Dawson was east of Lincoln Twp. and north of Green Twp. and very near Burlington Jct.. So to me it go along with the censuses for William and Abigail and also what William's daughter said about where he died. I wish I knew what to tell you but I don't. Could you tell me where your William and his wife were at on the censuses in 1870, 1880?
