Abstract:

Murfree Dixon, cabinet maker and carpenter, came to North Carolina in 1747, where he became established as an ornate carpenter and builder throughout Greene County. Obediah Dixon, the only one of Murfree's six sons to take up his trade, was also known for his carpentry skills, some of which still remain in Greene County today.
