William Dawes was an abolitionist. William Dawes and John Keep toured England in 1839 and 1840 gathering funds for Oberlin College in Ohio.〔(The culture of English antislavery, 1780-1860 ), David Turley, p192, 1991, ISBN 0-415-02008-5, accessed April 2009〕 They both attended the 1840 anti-slavery convention in London.〔(The Anti-Slavery Society Convention ), 1840, Benjamin Robert Haydon, accessed April 2009〕 John Keep and William Dawes both undertook a fund raising mission in England in 1839 and 1840 to raise funds from sympathetic abolitionists.
