Australian Dictionary of Biography (online) 26 November 2020: (James (Jimmy) Dawson (1806-1900), pastoralist and friend of the Aboriginals, was born on 5 July 1806 at Bonnytoun, West Lothian, Scotland. He migrated to Port Phillip, arriving in May 1840; he first bought a property above Anderson's Creek (now Warrandyte) then moved to the Western District, first near Port, then near Camperdown, as a farmer and friend and student of the Aboriginals, and for some years protector. He was an good amateur anthropologist, but some of his interpretations are not regarded as reliable. He died at Camperdown on 19 April 1900.) http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/dawson-james-jimmy-3381
