Notes for William Thomas DAWSON
On his gravestone it says, “husband of Mary Rucker”
Notes for Mary Catherine “Catherine” (Spouse 1)
On 12 June 1858 they are still living in Anderson Co., Ky.337 It also looks like they may have migrated to Henry County, Missouri with the Brim and Rucker families. Catherine died young and her husband remarried in Henderson County, Missouri, then he migrated over to Franklin Co., Missouri where he settled.

There is a Mrs. Catherine Bristow who married a William Dawson in in Fayette Co., KY on 22 July 1840. I can’t find Catherine’s marriage to William, but she may have been married before. Needs more work.
Notes for William Thomas & Mary Catherine “Catherine” (Family)
They had 14 children, 9 lived. They lived SW of Clifton Hills, Missouri.
