PRESIDENT THOMAS DAWSON.
ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND,
26 July, 1902.
DEAR SIR: In the year 1896 we had some correspondence with regard to David Mossom and Daniel Taylor (WILLIAM AND
MARY COLLEGE QUARTERLY, Vol. V., No. 3, p. 204'5-'65). I have since found that Daniel Taylor was ordained deacon 6 Feb- ruary, 1726/,, and priest 7 May, 1727, by the Bishop of London.
While working a few days ago at the Episcopal registers of the Diocese of Carlisle I came across the ordination of one Thomas Dawson,' of William and Mary College, which I copied, and send herewith in case they may interest you.
Rose Castle was then and is now the official residence of the Bishop of Carlisle.
1Rev. Thomas Dawson was son of William Dawson, of Aspatria, Cumberland, England, and brother of William Dawson, D. D., president of William and Mary College. He was educated by his brother at William and Mary College, and, after serving as master of the Indian School at the college, he was made president in 1755, and continued such till 1761. In 1752, married Priscilla Bassett, daughter of Col. William Bassett, of New Kent, Va. He had issue Thomas Bassett Dawson, of the Virginia navy.
