Generation: 1

  1. 1.  John Dawley was born Abt 1688; died Abt Mar 1753.

    Notes:

    John's will does not mention his wife, but a wife named Elizabeth is in a deed dated 9 June 1744, Exeter. She may have been a second wife -- not known, as she must have died before he wrote his will, dated 7 Nov 1749 (proved 13 Mar 1753). It mentions six sons and one daughter, all of whom I have listed on the tree.

    I have roughly estimated the birth years of their children.

    Some online family trees have the name of John's wife as Lydia Armstrong. One tree notes that John & Lydia deeded land to son Samuel in 1738 (where? possibly NK)

    I found his estimated year of birth at find-a grave.com, but this needs more research to confirm.

    John — Elizabeth Unknown. Elizabeth died Bef 7 Nov 1749. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  John Dawley, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (1.John1) was born Abt 1700.

    Notes:

    John and Mary Dawley are in several deeds at Exeter in the 1740s and 1750s. Some of the wils designate him as John Jr., while others do not; one has both designations in the same will. The surname is sometimes spelled Dawly.

    Notes from find-a-grave "virtual cemetery" memorial for "John Dawley III":
    "John made Freeman of the colony 1 Tues May 1730 when of North Kingston -- farmer and carpenter. Lieut. of Exeter Militia C company 1743-44-45. Will made 10 Jul and probated Nov 1755 [my note -- where?] names wife Mary; sons Michael, John, Job, and Peleg; daughters Elizabeth Rathbun, Lydia, Margaret, and Mary. [Wife] Mary was also mentioned in Job Tripp's will. In 1752 one widow named Mary Dawley was on the Exeter tax list; Mary's will made 26 March 1756 named all of the children listed in this family (except Job?). In 1771 Mary Dawley alias Stephens dau of John Dawley of West Greenwich deceased was warned out of Exeter and returned to West Greenwich. Brother Daniel was Executor of John's will." (I am not sure of the source of all of this info -- needs more research)
