Notes:

William H. Dawson, Attorney-at-Law, 33 S. Gay street, a native of Baltimore, was born December 8, 1842. His primary education was secured in private schools and in Loyola College, which he attended until after his nineteenth year. After a course of reading in the office of Mr. George Hawkins Williams, Mr. Dawson was admitted to the bar of Baltimore in July, 1866. Mr. Dawson devotes his time to general practice in all the courts of the State. Mr. Dawson's father, Mr. William Dawson, Jr., a native Baltimorean, was a civil engineer of well known ability. He married Harriet, daughter of Mr. George Fernald, natives of New Hampshire and descendants of Renald Fernald, one of the earliest settlers of Maine. Many members of the Fernald family took part in the Revolutionary War. They were probably of Scotch-Irish origin and were of the Presbyterian faith. Mr. William Dawson, Sr., was a ship builder, descended from John Dawson, an emigrant from England in colonial times. They were of the Friends Society and consequently took no part in the wars of the country. Mr. Dawson was married to Miss Balderston, daughter of Hon. Isaiah Balderston, for many years Judgeof the Orphans' Court. Mr. Dawson is a staunch Democrat in political faith and with his family is a member of the Presbyterian Church. - History of Baltimore, Maryland, from its founding as a town to the current year, 1729-1898, Henry E.
