Hi everyone, there are several descendants of James McCord Dawson who was in York SC for the birth of his first child with his second wife, Messina Nichols, probably daughter of Daniel Nichols, on the list. We have found info on Messina but not James, as yet. James first wife was also a Nichols but we don't know her name. Does anyone have any suggestion on where to look. Yorkville, York, SC is on the border of NC. Have found the marriage of a James Dawson and Elizabeth Nichols but the timing is wrong. I think ther is a marriage of an Isaac Dawson and Elizabeth McCord but don't have that info in front of me. James, Messina and their children and in laws moved to GA and some on to north AL Are there any ties of DAWSON lines from SC that lead back to NC VA or MD? Thanks for any suggestions Doris Mayer Reece
