22. Sgt. Henry DAWSON [70th Foot Regiment, emigrated to Canada] ¹²¹ was born from about 1795 to 1797 in Norwich, Norfolk, England,¹²² died on 24 Nov 1864 in Rawdon, Quebec¹²³ aged about 68, and was buried on 27 Nov 1864 in Christ Church Cemetery, Rawdon, Quebec.¹²⁴

Research Notes: To Do: Further research is needed to identify Sgt. Henry Dawson's ancestry.

A possible source is Henry's military service records which should be included in the British Archives collection at Kew, near London, England.

Information regarding an alleged other son of Sgt. Henry Dawson - the "Beautiful Stoney Keppel Including the Village of Shallow Lake 1855-1986" (1986) book includes the wording "Another s/o [son of] Sargeant Henry Dawson, Daniel was in Keppel long enough to be recorded in the 1871 Census".
The 1851 and 1861 Census information for Rawdon, Quebec plus a 1962 Dawson-Huston Family Tree (by Wallace Dawson) all do not include a son named Daniel. The Daniel Dawson listed in the 1871 Census for Keppel, Ontario - was born about 1841 in Quebec - and may actually have been "Samuel" rather than Daniel - as Samuel was born in 1841 and does not appear on the 1871 Census.

Other notes:

(1) Notes from the Sergeant Henry Dawson (c.1795-1864) & Elizabeth Huston (c.1806-1868) Family Tree by Wallace Dawson and Robert W. Eadie (Dec. 1962):

"History of Henry Dawson. He joined the 2nd West Middlesex Militia at Dover Kent, Sept. 28, 1810. April 1st, 1813 was discharged from 2nd Middlesex Regiment into 70th Foot Regiment. 70th Foot landed at Quebec, Canada, Nov. 4, 1813. … The postings of the 70th Foot from 1814 until it returned to Ireland in 1827.
[From map] - 1814 Quebec, Montreal & Cornwall - May 1815 to April 1817 Kingston - April 1817 to June 1819 Niagara - June 1819 to May 1821 Kingston - May 1821 to May 1823 Quebec - May 1823 to May 1826 Montreal - May 1826 to Aug. 1827 York.
Aug. 1827 left Canada for Ireland and was stationed in different parts of Ireland until May 26, 1832. Henry Dawson discharged at own request May 26, 1832. Came back to Canada in 1832 and lived around Rawdon, Quebec, for some years. He was granted 200 acres Lot 11, Range 11, at Rawdon, Quebec, in 1839 ; farmed and taught elementary school at Rawdon and Kildare, Quebec."
[Note - the 200 acre land grant was apparently in recognition of Sgt. Henry Dawson's 22 years of military service.]
