• Parentage: James Grant and Sarah J. Paulus. While there is no direct evidence that Dawson is the natural child of James and Sarah, there were no other known members of the Grant clan in Goshen at this time, and given his having been born only a few years after their marriage and his presence in the family burial plot, it seems the most likely scenario.¹
