Hello Rilenva
So far you are the only person I've found on RootsChat interested in Royal Dawson. I have a tree (on Ancestry) that traces certain Royal Dawsons down from Henry Royal Dawson (1810 - 1874). But I am not happy with the generally accepted origin of Henry as son of Henry Royal (1782 - 1861) and Mary Burnell (1777 - 1855) - not least because it does explain where the Royal part of the surname comes from ! Do you (or any friendly Chatter) have any information that might shed a light in this darkness ? Regards, Stephen.
