| 1 | Indiana Marriage Collection, 1800-1941, has an entry for Rebecca Church marrying George Dawson on 10 Nov 1836 in Henry Co., IN. | |
| 2 | Membership application for Sons of the American Revolution for applicant Fred Albert Dawson. Mr. Dawson indicates that he is a descendant of Revolutionary War veteran Timothy Church and lays out a path of descendancy to himself. According to the path given, Timothy Church was born 12 May 1736 and died 13 Nov 1823. His son was Samuel Church, born ~1765 and died after 1845. Samuel was married to Elizabeth (maiden name unknown) prior to 1821. Their daughter was Rebecca Church, born ~1801, died ~1866, married to George Dawson in 1831. The applicant follows the Dawson line down from there to himself. Timothy Church served as a Lieutenant Colonel from Brattleboro, VT, in the war. He is buried in Brattleboro, VT, and his tombstone designates him as a Colonel and that he died 13 Nov 1833 at the age of 86. The applicant indicates that other records regarding Timothy Church give a death year of 1823 and that the tombstone may be in error. In support of the claims of this application, the applicant gives the following sources as proof: Vermont Rev. Rolls., Pages 822,823,826. New York in the Revolution Vol 15, page 277. Annals of Brattleboro, Vol 1., pages 67, 68. Analysis of Vermont Rev. Rolls. and Annals of Brattleboro (both available on Google Books) revealed that they only contained data regarding Timothy Church's revolutionary war experience and not any information about descendancy. It is not clear that this is the correct Samuel Church; based on the 1820 census there are at least 4 Samuel Churches in Vermont at the right time, and it looks like there might be at least two who married Elizabeths... more work to figure out who is who is necessary here. The relationship of Rebecca to Samuel is also just stated as fact here with no backup. |    |
Research
Rebecca Church is not well-linked to our Samuel Church and Elizabeth Stickney. The SAR source has had its accuracy called into question by other researchers, and the only other source we have at this time is the marriage record (which itself conflicts with the SAR source with regards to the year).
