There is a book called Century Review, 1805 to 1905, Maury County, Tennessee, "a condensation of the most important events of the past one hundred years". Author: D P Robbins. Published in 1905/1906. On page 318 is the following entry:

" P. Dawson, b Jun 16 57 is son of Amos and Rebecca Dawson. Amos was son of Amos Sr and Polly (Black) Dawson; Rebecca was dau of Joseph Burgess. Mar 3 72, he married Leona, b Feb 25 52, sister of J. P. Hines. Their children---- Joseph, deceased; JW b Dec 7 74; Fannie E, Oct 9 78, wife of Ed Church; ML b 80; WA b 83; JP Jun 10 86; Maude L, Aug 29 90; GH, Feb 22 96. Mr. Dawson owns 191 a 2 m SW of Cross Bridges where he raises stock and farms."

I have transcribed this as written. From the wording, it appears that Phillip Dawson was living when this book was written. And the children--- the only one I am missing is Joseph, who must have died as a child and was probably never listed in a census!

Marvin's tree is on WikiTree here: Marvin L. Dawson
Willie Mai, was indexed as Willie "Mae" in 1940, but that is not correct. It is in fact, "Mai". Willie Mai

	Children of Liz Crumley, second wife of Amos '29 (additional information or corrections of the identity of the one named "Phil" are welcome.) The tombstone for Phillip Dawson states that he was born 1851, and the Maury County Cemetaries book by Fred Hawkins states his mother is Rebecca Burgess, so that makes him half-brother to the other 2 boys, John and Wayne. However, other sources, such as various family descendants say he is the son of second wife Liz Crumley, which makes John and Wayne his full brothers, as well as Phebe his sister. His birth date tells a somewhat different story.) CONCLUSION AFTER MUCH RESEARCH: There are two Phillips... one in each family.. Rebecca's and Liz's. That explains why there was a grave marker dated Birth:1851 for the older one and a photo with other Liz children labeled "Little Phil."
