There isn't a lot of information on Alex's early years. His mother, Elisabeth Harper was born in Wick and it is presumed that is where his father, William Dawson met Elisabeth. It would be more fun if we had more information on their courtship and how they met.
Their marriage is recorded as:
"Dawson, William, clerk in Lower Pultney was maty; to Elisabeth Harper. Persons there: James Cooper Carpenter in Lower Pultney count for this man and Henry Flett, cabinet maker, there for this woman." Source: Scott Russell - Scotlandspeople.com - (O.P.R. Marriages 043/0050 0176 W#ick)
This blog is to preserve the family history of Alexander Dawson and Elizabeth Jane Fowles, to research genealogy, view the family tree and get to know our family better.
