Alfred "Cudge" 1837 (aka "Kudge")



Alfred "Cudge" Dawson married Elizabeth Lovell


(present day cousins - please make yourself known)
Randall Bible is the cousin on this page until we know something otherwise.


(***Note- the original photo of Alfred has Cudge spelled with a C, not K, so the spelling of Kudge on this page will be set by the original writing on that original photo.)

Alfred Dawson son of Amos Dawson lived in the middle of Bybee, near the postoffice.

until we find out where his ancestor John Dawson 1875 belongs.

Notes from Bybee:

Randall and I are still trying to run down information on how he is related to Cudge Dawson. On the back of the old picture it was spelled with a C.

All his life he has heard about uncle Cudge Dawson. The only thing is in this communnity some people are called uncle by everyone.

Randall's greatgrandfather was John Dawson and his wife was Elizabeth (Miller) Dawson.His grandmother was their daughter Sarah (Dawson) Nolen.Mammie (Sarah) always talked about uncle Cudge Dawson, but sadly we don't know if he was her uncle or great uncle or no uncle at all. We feel like John came in the next generation. He was born 1875 died1922.

Identities:
Dear Cousins
The names on the back of the picture or as follows:L to R --back row--Ellen Dawson; Clifford Dawson, Mead Ledford {not sure who she is }, row 2--Hunley Dawson, John Dawson, Elizabeth Dawson, Sara {Nolen} Dawson {my grandmother}, Burnice Dawson, and little Juddy Dawson

Juddy was kicked and killed by a mule not long after this picture was made. He would have been around 2 years old. I have a large picture which is a chalk drawing made from this picture of John and Elizabeth and little Juddy inserted in between them .

The picture was given to me by my grandmother Sara Dawson Nolen. John and Elizabeth are my great- grandparents.

I would like to know who Mead Leadford is if anyone knows.
