I'm hoping someone will see something that connects to a Swain somewhere.
My grandmother, had 3 notes written in an old address book. #1 was that her grandfather,[2]Thomas Dawes mother's last name was Swain.
I've found these records which have the first name of Jane, but no last name.
William Dawes
b. 1796 Mitcheldean, Gloucester, England
Married: 1821 Mitcheldean, Gloucester, England
+ Jane ---?---
b. 1800 Mitcheldean, Gloucester, England
Children:
[1] James Dawes
Christening: 17 Nov. 1822
[2] Thomas Dawes ---------------[my gg-grandfather]
Christening: 09 April 26 1926
[3] Jane Dawes
Christening: 28 Feb. 1828
[4] Jane Dawes -------[2 Jane’s & dates? Maybe the same person?]
Christening: 28 Feb. 1832
[5] Clement Dawes
Christening: 20 May 1832
[6] Elizabeth Dawes
Christening: 20 May 1832

Most, if not all of their children, later immigrated to Ontario, Canada, then later yet to Southern California.
Note #2 in my grandmother's address book;
He [her grandfather, Thomas Dawes] was a Methodist Minister and went to Ann Arbor and received his M.D. and interned at John Hopkins, NY.”
[He was a doctor in Thamesford, Ontario, Canada]
I have the silver cast, which was the mold used for part of the headstone on his grave, and the engraving on it says; “Thomas Dawes, Died May 7th 1884. Aged 56 years, 4 Mo.” That would have had him born in January 1828, which coincides with a few other things I’ve found. It’s possible in the transcribing process; it would be easy to miss read a 6 and an 8, if the work wasn’t easy to read.
Note #3 in the address book;
“William Dawes Jr., b. April 6 1745 and d. Feb. 25 1799. One of the three sent on that famous ride in 1775, to warn Hancock and Adams that the British were coming.”
Thanks, Teri
