Commemorative Biographical Record of Kent County, Ontario, J.H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1904, pg. 178-179:
William Dawson, a prosperous and enterprising farmer of Romney Township, County Kent, is a son of John Dawson, one of the pioneers of this locality.
     John Dawson, a son of Thomas and Hannah Dawson, was born near St. John's Chapel, Parish of Stanhope, County Durham, England, July 6, 1789. He was married in England, Sept. 21, 1812, to Sarah Potts, who was born in the same place July 8, 1789, a daughter of Joseph and Jane Potts. In the handwriting of John Dawson is found an account of his coming to Canada, which reads as follows: "John Dawson with his wife Sarah, and his sons Joseph and Thomas, and his daughter, Hannah, emigrated from England to Canada, British North America, sailed from Sunderland in the County of Durham, May 21, in the year 1817, and lost the vessel they sailed in on the Orkney Islands, and landed at America in New Brunswick, in the month of July, 1817."
     Upon landing the family came directly to Long Point where the father secured employment under Col. Nichols, but after several years he moved to Mersea township, County Essex, and settled upon a farm some three miles west of Wheatley, now owned by Russell F??, and there his wife died in October, 1823. Later, in Gosfield township, Mr. Dawson married Mary Edwards, a daughter of John and Sarah Edwards, who was born Sept. 2, 1808, and died Dec. 16, 1882... To John and Mary (Edwards) Dawson were born: Randolph, born May 5, 1827, a resident of Romney; John, born March 6, 1829; William, born April 29, 1831; Merrideth, born July 30, 1833; Henry, born May 11, 1836, died in British Columbia; Mary Jane, born April 16, 1838, married William Wickwire, of Romney; Peter, born March 9, 1840, is deceased; Albert, born April 11, 1842; Theodore, born Aug. 8, 1844; Sarah Hannah, born Sept. 9, 1846;
Betsy, born Sept. 18, 1848, died Feb. 22, 1862; and Eliza, born Jan. 28, 1852.
     In the early twenties John Dawson came to Romney township, settling upon Lot 194, where he underwent all the privations incident to pioneer life, but he was rewarded by seeing the country change from a wilderness to a thickly settled community. He cleared a good part of the land upon which he settled, and the second house which he erected is still standing. As soon as his land was under cultivation, he engaged in tobacco raising, shipping his product by boat to Montreal. For some years he carried on a store in his house for Col. Little, of Raleigh. In politics he was a Conservative, but he also believed that in local events it was wiser to considered the worth of the man rather than the party. His death occurred Oct 1?, 1872, when he was eighty-three years of age..
