Robert Peel Dawson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colonel Robert Peel Dawson (1818 – 2 September 1877) was an Irish Member of Parliament. He was one of the Dawson family of Castledawson and lived at Moyola Park, County Londonderry. He served as MP for County Londonderry from 1859 to 1874.
His daughter, Mary, married Lord Adolphus John Spencer Churchill Chichester, younger son of Edward Chichester, 4th Marquess of Donegall; thus his grandson was the MP Robert Chichester and his great-great-grandson was Lord Moyola, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.
