Roger, I am finally finding a little time for my passion of genealogy :) Sorry to have taken so long in getting back to you. I scanned over the book this morning. I did not find a minister mentioned by the name Dawson. Sorry! I assume you are attempting to determine the denomination with which Dawson was associated. If so, try writing to the Handley Regional Library, Piccadilly & Braddock Street (or P.O. Box 58) Winchester, VA 22604, Attention: Archives. Tell them you heard there was a "Larry Veach" collection housed there and you'd like them to check the file for (Rev) Benjamin Dawson. This collection has information on ministers identified in Frederick County, their time of service and the church they served as best determined by Pastor Larry Veach. Perhaps the collection will hold answers to your question. Good luck in your search, Linda At 09:17 PM 10/5/97 -0500, you wrote: >At 8:45 AM -0500 10/4/97, Linda Whitmer wrote: > >>Having said that...
