Abstract:

William Dry, Brunswick planter in colonial North Carolina, has been a relatively neglected figure in the state’s history. Dry was a revolutionary and one of the leading citizens of the Cape Fear during the Stamp Act controversy. Although Dry was one of Cape Fear’s most vocal supporters of the American Revolution, he never participated actively on its behalf.
