Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 791:
George H. Dawson, a prosperous agriculturist and leading citizen of Romney township, County of Kent, is a grandson of one of the pioneer settlers of that township. The father, Joseph Dawson, was but four years of age when the family left the homestead in the County of Durham, England, and settled in Canada. They were eighteen weeks on the ocean and the ship was wrecked off the Orkney Islands, the passengers and crew escaping. The Dawson family finally made their way to Montreal, then westward to Longpoint, where they remained some time, the head of the family securing employment of Col. Nichols. Again going West, the family located on land in Mersea township, some three miles west of Wheatley, on property now owned by Russell Fox. After a short stay there, they moved to Romney township, where the family has since been closely identified with the growth of the township.
     Joseph Dawson grew to manhood in Romney, and at the age of twenty-one years he settled on the west half of Lot 187, while his brother Thomas secured the eastern half. This lot had been taken up from the government by a Mr. Butler. Upon this property Joseph Dawson began his life as a pioneer farmer, and he lived to see his land all placed under cultivation. Later he purchased the farm owned by his brother Thomas. Being an industrious and thrifty man he greatly prospered, and at his death, in 1895, he was counted among the well-to-do residents of Romney township. He was fond of reading, possessed a wonderful memory, and was well posted on current affairs. His wife was a Miss Jane Coatsworth, a daughter of the well known Robert Coatsworth, and to them were born children as follows: Robert, a resident of Romney township; Jane, who married Isaac Imerson, of Mersea; Sarah, who married George Coatsworth; Maria, who married Levi Coatsworth, of Chicago; George H.; Fannie, who married E. H. Brown, of Romney township.
