Abstract:
Lawrence writes \"that the Dockery family ranked as the most outstanding Whig and Republican family in the state. They were not professional men--not even agriculturalists, but just plain dirt farmers.\" The family started with Thomas in 1797, and at one time the family owned thousands of acres in Richmond County. They were prominent citizens and rendered valuable service to their state among various lines in war and peace.
