Abstract:
Anthony Dawson first appeared taking up a patent of land in Perquimans County in 1687. He soon became a Captain of militia, a member of the NC Council, a member of Assembly and attorney in Court actions. Perquimans Precinct Court was held at his house for a number of years. In Feb. 1697/98, Dawson was banished from North Carolina over the salvage of a wrecked ship for the Crown. He then settled in Gloucester County, NJ.
