William Dawson, b. abt 1710 PGC, MD, son of Nicholas & Mary DOYNE Dawson
As a PS at the beginning of this list, I have put on the rootsweb Dawson list all of my findings for Prince George County, MD, Charles County, MD, Loudoun County, VA, & several others, on all the Dawson info I have run across for each of those counties.
Hi, is there anyone on the list descended from this William. His wife was Elizabeth Marbury. The following is the info from the one known family book, but it would appear that the last 3 children probably belong to the son William and someone has mixed them together. William dies in 1756.
I'm especially looking for documented info on William himself.
Thanks for any help!

From "Through Three Centuries With a Dawson Family" by Lee Orval Dawson:
William Dawson was the third son of Nicholas and Mary DOYNE Dawson. He was born about 1710 in Prince George's County, Maryland. He married before 1734 Elizabeth Marbury, daughter of Francis Marbury by his first wife, Mary Green. The Marbury will named the daughter as Elizabeth Dawson. She was a half-sister to Martha Ann Marbury who married William's oldest brother, John, in 1735.
The Rent Rolls of Lord Baltimore show that William owned several plantations in the Province, some of which he inherited from his mother's estate.
William died in 1756 in Prince George's County. No will is on record. An inventory of his estate is on file and bond was given on 14 October 1756 by John Dawson, John Harris, Jr., and Andrew Hilton. Witnesses were Luke Marbury, William's brother-in-law and Pete Dent.
It is not known just how many children William and Elizabeth had but it is believed they had several. Family tradition and the records referring directly and specifically to the sons of William in our research makes it seem that the following children can be named, and there were probably other sons and daughters.
Lawrence Dawson, b. abt 1735; m. *
William Dawson, b. 1738, d. 1802, prob. m. twice, 2nd time to Elizabeth *
Benjamin B. Dawson, b. abt 1752, m. Mary Simmonds in 1782*
Thomas Dawson, b. abt 1755; m. *
James Dawson, b. abt 1756, m. Ann *
