Frederick S. Dawe was born in England in 1849. Census records differ as to the year he immigrated, but it was when he was just a small boy, sometime between 1851 and 1855. He eventually became a naturalized US citizen in 1895.

He was living with his wife Mary (age 28) and their two daughters, Jessie (age 4) and Mary (8 months old called Mildred in later census records), both of whom were born in Kansas.
