BEAVER COUNTY
John T. Holmes, father of Mrs. Bolton, was a manufacturer of the Holmes axe the factory at Temperanceville, Allegheny county, Pennsyl- vania. He moved to New Brighton, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, where he formed a partnership with Patterson Mitchel, manufacturing axes. They are both dead, John T. Holmes dying February 14, 1887.
The name of Temple is a very ancient one and is known TEMPLE throughout the civilized world. As, in former times, people took their names from their occupations, it is more than likely that the original bearers of the name of Temple were in office in a temple or some house of worship. The family of which this sketch treats came to this country probably from England or Wales, as the name is of frequent occurrence there.
(I) In the troublesome times at the close of the Revolutionary War, many who thought well of America saw fit to come to this country in search of homes, and among such was a widower by the name of Robert Temple, who left a large family in central England, presumably in York- shire. Whether he was in any way related to the unfortunate Charlotte Temple, buried in Trinity Church Yard, New York City, or to the noted Archbishop Temple, of recent date, is by no means certain, or proven, although very probable. After residing for about two years in this coun- try, he married and settled on what is now known as Johnson's Hill, near New Sheffield, Pennsylvania, and reclaimed from the wilderness, as it then was, a considerable portion of his claim, sixty acres of which are still in the possession of William M. Temple. He was killed by falling timber in the forest surrounding his hardly won homestead, some time in the spring of 1788.
(II) Robert (2) Temple, son of Robert (1) Temple, was born in 1788. In youth he was bound out, as was the custom of those days, and he learned the trade of shoemaker, which he followed for many years. He served in the War of 1812. He was a staunch Abolitionist. He was the owner of a farm of one hundred acres near Hopewell, Hopewell township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, and died there, March 20, 1870. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church. He married (first) Mary Davis, born in 1793 in Hopewell township, died there July 20, 1854. He married (second) -

After his marriage he settled on a farm adjoining the old Temple homestead, purchasing one hundred acres, which he cleared and cultivated. Some time later he purchased an additional sixty acres and still later another plot of fifty-three acres. He had acquired a fairly good education, and in his earlier years taught school for a time. He served as an elder in the United Presbyterian Church at Raccoon, and was gener- ally active in church affairs. He married Margaret, born in Little Beaver, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, daughter of James and Margaret Buchanan ; she died in February, 1905. Children: I. Vianna, died in infancy, August 20, 1856. 2. Ida, born October 1, 1858, died at the age of twenty years. 3. Wilda, born July 24, 1860; married Robert S.

He received his early education in the public schools of his township, and was then a student for a time at the Canfield Academy, Ohio. He took up farming on the homestead and was soon in entire management of the place. He retained this position until the death of his father, when he purchased the shares of two of the other heirs, combined them with his own share, and made in all a tract of one hundred and thirteen acres. In February, 1905, he sold this and bought a farm of one hundred and eighty- four acres in Hanover township, where he has lived since that time. Very recently he purchased a plot of fourteen acres near Woodlawn. He is very successfully engaged in general farming and stock raising, and his products are considered of the highest standard. In political matters he affiliates with the Republican party, and he and his wife are members of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Temple married, November 29, 1893, Orpha A. Todd, born at Raccoon creek, Moon township, Beaver county, Pennsyl- vania (see Todd II). Children : Clare, at present a student at the Hooks- town high school; Frederick, Clifford, Whitham, Austin.

(IV) William M. Temple, son of Robert (3) and Catherine (Winkle) Temple, was born in Hopewell township, Beaver county, Pennsylvania, August 10, 1865, near where he now lives. He was educated at the Mount Vernon School. He has always followed the occupation of farming, the scene of his labors being the sixty acres which he owns of the original Temple Ridge Farm. His interests and activities have not been confined to his personal affairs, but on the contrary have embraced the public affairs of the community where he lives. He is a Democrat in politics, though extremely independent in his opinions, and an ardent opponent of the liquor business. In 1898 he was made tax collector for Hopewell township and served for six years, and in 1905 he was elected assessor and served for a similar period, and in 1912 was again appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of tax collector, also in 1913 was elected to the same office, serving in that capacity at the present time (1914), also as assessor of the precinct.

After completing his studies, he found employment for a short time as a riverman, and shortly afterward joined his father in the hotel business, which the latter was conducting in Monaca. The first house they thus conducted was known as the Farmer's Hotel, which they operated for a number of years, and then disposed of to become the proprietors of the Monaca Hotel. This he finally sold to accept a position with the Phoenix Glass Company, with which he remained for a number of years. Mr. Bickerstaff is at present employed in the Colonial Steel Mill. Besides this position, he is the owner of considerable amount of valuable property in Monaca. Mr. Bickerstaff is a man of affairs and very active in politics.

Her father was born in Monaca in the year 1833, her mother in Germany, two years later. Both her paternal and maternal grandparents were pioneers in Beaver county; the former being John Schnoble, and the latter George and Catherine (Bush) Mohr, both natives of Germany. By her former mar- riage Mrs. Bickerstaff is the mother of two children, George Leffert, de- ceased, and Frances Wilhelmina, who was educated in the public schools of Monaca and the Business College of Beaver, and is now a stenographer at Dixmont, Pennsylvania, where she has been for nearly four years. Mr. Bickerstaff was baptized in the Presbyterian church, and Mrs. Bickerstaff is a Lutheran.

The introduction of the Dawson family into England, ac- DAWSON cording to Burke and other writers on the British peerage, was in 1066, Sir Marmaduke D'Ossone having been one of the Norman noblemen who were in the company of William the Con- queror. For services rendered in battle he is said to have received a grant of an estate from his successful leader, and to have resided in England for the remainder of his life. By an easy process the name be- came Anglicized to Dawson, as it has since been retained, with the many variations, Dowson, Dowse, Dowsing and Dowsett. Bearers of the name are found in all English speaking countries and colonies, and it may be safely asserted that it has penetrated to nearly all Christian and heathen lands, carried forward by the commercial enterprise and the religious zeal of in- dividuals.
(I) The emigrant ancestor of the branch of the Dawson family of whom complete record is herein given, was John Dawson, who came from the north of England, either from Whitehaven, in Cumberland, or from Yorkshire, to Maryland, previous to 1700. It is uncertain whether he made direct settlement in Maryland or found his way to that colony by way of Philadelphia. It is recorded that he emigrated when a young man and was quite advanced in years when his death occurred. This is sup- posed to have taken place before 1720, from the fact that his son Thomas, who died in 1800, aged ninety-two years, barely remembered the event as one which happened in his childhood. He married Rebecca, daughter of John Doyne, who was an Irish gentleman who held a grant of land on Chickamoxon creek, in Charles county, about thirty miles below the present site of the city of Washington, D. C. They made their home on Broad creek, in Prince George county, where he died. Children of John and Rebecca (Doyne) Dawson: I. John, died unmarried in early life. 2. George, a resident of Montgomery county, Maryland. 3. William, died in early life, unmarried. 4. Thomas, of whom further. 5. Nicholas, lived in Loudon county, Virginia. 6. Eleanor, married a Mr. Bayne.
(II) Thomas Dawson, son of John and Rebecca (Doyne) Dawson, was born at Broad Creek, Prince George county, Maryland, in 1708, died in Montgomery county, Maryland, in August, 1800. He married Elizabeth, daughter of John Lowe, of Prince George county, Maryland, who was an ancestor of Governor Lowe, of Maryland. Children of Thomas and Elizabeth (Lowe) Dawson: I. Benoni, of whom further. 2. Mary, mar- ried Benjamin Mackall, the second of her family to marry into the Mackall family, her brother Nicholas L. being the third. 3. Sarah, married William Blackmore. 4. Eleanor, married Lawrence Allnut. 5. Nicholas L., born 1751, died in Montgomery county, Maryland, 1831, married Mary Mackall. 6. Verlinda H., married James Allnut, a brother of Lawrence, husband of her sister Eleanor. 7. Robert Doyne, born 1758; married Sarah N. Chis- well; died in Montgomery county, Maryland, in August, 1824. 8. Eliza- beth, died unmarried. 9. Rebecca, married Benjamin Mackall, nephew of
797
BEAVER COUNTY
Benjamin Mackall, husband of her sister Mary. 10. Jane, married Weaver Johns.
(III) Benoni Dawson, eldest child of Thomas and Elizabeth (Lowe) Dawson, was born in Maryland, 1742, died in Beaver county, Pennsyl- vania, May 6, 1806. After his marriage he moved to Western Pennsyl- vania (now Fayette county) where he joined the family of his uncle, George Dawson, who had preceded him into that locality. After a short stay with his relatives he continued his westward way and settled in the lower corner of what is now Beaver county, the town of Georgetown being situated on land once his property. He had brought with him his family and all his possessions, including seven slaves, and while in Fayette county sent men ahead with his cattle, having given them orders to clear land for a homestead. He built a mill on Mill Creek. He was a member of the Episcopal Church and is quoted as being "a good man to the poor." In the new community his wise and just judgment was widely felt for good, the strength of his character lending weight to his counsel. He married Rebecca Mackall. Children of Benoni and Rebecca (Mackall) Dawson : I. Thomas, born about 1765, died at Georgetown, Pennsylvania, aged fifty-two years; married Nancy Dawson, and became the father of nine children. 2. Benoni, of whom further. 3. George, lived on Mill Creek, died aged about fifty years; married Jane Mackall, and of this marriage five children were born. 4. Mackall, lived and died near Georgetown, Pennsylvania; married and had children. 5. Nicholas, born 1772, died near Calcutta, Ohio, in 1855; married Rachel Moore, born August 31, 1777, died July 19, 1846; they were the parents of twelve children. 6. Mary, married James Blackmore, and became the mother of four children. 7. Elizabeth, married Charles Blackmore, and had three children. 8. Rebecca Mackall, married William White; they were the parents of nine children. 9. Nancy Brooks, married John Beaver, and was the mother of one child. IO.
