General Notes: Husband - Judge John Dawson
He was reared in Harrison County, Kentucky, obtained a good English education in private schools, and when twenty years of age moved to Uniontown, Pennsylvania, where he studied law in the offices of General Thomas Meason and Judge John Kennedy. He was admitted to the Fayette county bar, August 17, 1813, and successfully practiced for more than thirty years in Fayette County. In 1851 he was appointed associate judge of Fayette County by Governor William F. Johnston, and served in that capacity until the office was made elective by the new state constitution. He retired from the bench to his farm which he superintended until about 1865, after which he made his home with children in Uniontown. For several years prior to his death his sight failed, leaving him at times in total blindness. He was a Whig and Republican in politics. The tribute paid to his memory by his brethren of the Fayette bar recites: "No tribute to his memory can speak too warmly of the manner in which he discharged the duties of every relation in life."
