Notes:

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. - Through Three Centuries With a Dawson Family, Lee Orval Dawson

William Dawson, the son of Nicholas Dawson and Mary Doyne, is thought to have been born in about 1710/1712 in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Based upon the estimated birth dates of his children, and the documented fact that he could not have married Elizabeth Marbury until sometime after July 1748, William definitely appears to have been married twice during his life. William is believed to have married first in Prince George’s County, Maryland shortly before his mother passed away in 1734 to a woman whose identity is currently unknown. William’s first wife, however, is believed to have been the mother of at least two of William’s children, namely Lawrence Dawson and William Dawson, Jr.
Sometime after July 1748, William apparently married for a second time to a widow named Elizabeth (Marbury) Davidson. Elizabeth, who was also a native of Prince George’s County, Maryland, was the daughter of Francis Marbury and his first wife, Mary Greene. 42 She was also the widow of a man named John Davidson (also written Davison), whom she had married on 5 February 1732/1733 in Prince George’s County, Maryland. 12 That Elizabeth Marbury was married first to a man named John Davidson was also confirmed by the will of Elizabeth’s father, Francis Marbury, which was dated 11 January 1734/1735 and probated on 22 January 1734/1735. - The Dawson Family of Maryland.....and elsewhere, Jack MacDonald, 2015
