Francis & George DawInscriptions:
Great God on what a
slender thread Time was I stood as thou dost now
Location: The stone is not located in a cemetery but on the old Daw property in Port de Grave. To find it, drive past St. Mark's church and take a branch road on the right. I believe there was a fish plant around there. High on a cliff overlooking the bay is a yellow two-story house. This headstone, along with that of George's brother John, and some other unmarked rocks show the burial place of other Dawe ancestors. This was the first time in my research that I had come across graves not in a churchyard or designated cemetery. I was amazed at how well these stones have survived the harsh and eroding salty wind for nearly 200 years.
George
& Frances Daw - these are my GGGGG grandparents. Including my
children, this makes nine generations of Dawes identified and located.
