  1. Dawson was an important man in the parish. He was a Protestant. He was a native of Scotland, and came as a herdsman to Mr Ball. He got a big farm of land from him in the townland of Ardnagla, half mile north of Ballynacally. A great big slated house is there at present, and many big two storey high outhouses. Peter Dawson worked on every day on Sunday as well as any other day. He was a very hard working man. He had a lot of tillage and hired many servants.
