Can someone tell me the source for giving Mary's (wife of William Llewellyn/Lewelling) last name as Dawson. Last night I spent considerable time looking for something that would tell where her maiden name came from and couldn't find it. I thought it might be from Quaker records since this was a Quaker family, but couldn't find anything. William is the one who died 1799 in Randolph County, N.C.
There was a Daniel and Joshua Dawson in Randolph County 1800. Were they related to her? They were apparently from Kent County, Delaware --
