General Notes: Husband - Ellis Baily Dawson
He received his early education at Madison College, Uniontown, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from Washington College in the class of 1839. After his graduation he began to read law with his father and was admitted to the Fayette County bar June 6, 1843, and to the supreme court of Pennsylyania in 1846. He was largely interested in private business affairs, the multiplicity of which compelled him to abandon his legal career after a few years of active and successful practice. He held but one political office, that of "commissioner of the draft," to which he was appointed by Governor Curtin in 1862. He served for several years on the town council of Uniontown and was one of the first stockholders and for twenty years a director of the National Bank of Fayette County. He was a Republican in politics and an attendant of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
He was always studious, and his leisure time was always occupied with the perusal of history, biography and literature.
