Posted on: Hampshire County, WV Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/WV/Hampshire?read=1143 Surname: dawson, cockrell, ravenscroft, magruder ------------------------- I'm looking for information on the family of John P. Dawson, born 1787, who apparently lived in Hampshire Co in 1802 as a child/young man. He later married Rebecca Dannison in Allegany Co MD. Father Edward Dawson Sr. Mother Elizabeth. Siblings Isaac Powell, Thomas, James, Elizabeth, Anna, Mahaliel or Mahala also called Macy, possibly others. An Elizabeth Dawson married an Edward Cockrell in Hampshire in about 1789 and moved to Ohio -- I'd like to find out if this is the same Elizabeth. Anna married a Magruder or McGruder. Mahaliel married a Ravenscroft and died in 1807. If you know anything about this family I'd appreciate it.
