I have been looking for references to Benjamin Dawes of Mount Desert and Black Island. Is there as source for William Benjamin Dawes as Benjamin Daws/Dawes of Mount Desert? I have not found anything naming him William Benjamin Dawes. He may have been confused with a William B Dawes who married a Mary Hodgton in Salem, MA, 27 Oct 1829?
