Families covered: Dawson of Farlington, Dawson of Greystoke, Dawson of Heworth, Dawson of North Ferriby, Dawson of Osgodby
| Walker starts with the following Archibald. We suggest that the early generations shown here should be viewed with some caution. The first of the family for whom we have any indication of dates is Bartram, 7 generations later. It is thought likely that, if he in fact existed, Archibald lived in the 1100s. | |||||||||||||||

| Walker provides contradictory information on the next few generations. We show below what is given in the 'main' article on the family, being on 'Dawon of Heworth', but the article on 'Dawson of Farlington' starts with William Dawson (d 1661) who married Mary Agar Skelton in Stockton, apparently the William (dsp) we show as younger brother of the following Richard. We identify the main differences below. There appears to have been some confusion between different families. | |||||||||||||||
