DAWE
Relationship4th great-grandfather of Lorna Henderson.
     Isaac Dawe was baptized on 8 May 1769 in North Lew, DEV, ENG; although this does assume that this is the correct Isaac. Certainly the date matches his age at dth, but North Lew is in the parish of Black Torrington, the haunt of another family of DAWEs, and much further Nth East than the descendants of "our" Isaac tended to live, around the Tavistock and Newton Abbot districts. Of the known places where Isaac lived, Lifton was a bit of a surprise, being a bit further away, albeit only about 8 miles as the crow flies, from the little triangle of Lamerton, Lumburn, Mill Hill. Northlew is twice as far again. In addition, the known children of John and Sarah were William, Sarah, Margaret, Gertrude and Isaac. We have no known Margarets or Gertrudes in the immediate family and descendants of Isaac and Sarah. Hardly conclusive, but usually indicative. Another researcher has him with a brother James and nephew George.1,3,4,5
     Isaac Dawe married Sarah Smith on 12 Jun 1796 at Tavistock, DEV, ENG.2,6
     Isaac Dawe died on 24 Dec 1840 in Plymouth, DEV, ENG; aged 70 of asthma. He was shown as a miller and the inf. was his son Nathaniel, also a miller, living at Bedford Cottage, Tavistock.4
     At the time of his marriage in Jun 1796 Isaac Dawe was a miller at Lamerton Mill, DEV, ENG, and all bar one child were baptised in the Parish Church of Lamerton. The baptisms apparently don't show places for Isaac and Sarah until the last two Lamerton children, Richard and Thomas, 1812 and 1814, by which time Isaac is shown as a miller at Mill Hay Quarry (OPC) which differs from the Mill Hill Quarry previously advised (Wendy).6,7 By Nov 1819 Isaac Dawe and Sarah Smith were living at Leat Mill, Lifton, DEV, ENG, when their last son Richard was born even though tax information on Lammerton Mill does show Isaac as paying tax on the mill to His Grace the Duke of Bedford from 1797 up to and including 1824 (Tax assessed £1/2s to 1820, then £1/6/5) perhaps at least some of these are Isaac's son Isaac, although he is generally shown as being at Newton Mill?8,3,9
