Abstract:
Anthony Dawson, b. July 25, 1832 in Pitt County, NC, was a slave of Levi Dawson and his wife, Susan (Isler) Dawson. The Levi Dawson plantation was 18 miles from Greenville, NC. The Levi Dawson house was a one story log cabin, of square adzed logs, all weather boarded on the outside and planked and plastered on the inside. There was a long porch across the front with big brick pillars and plastered over. It sat so high that a buggy could drive under it. The house had a cluster of four rooms on two sides with a wide hall in between. The house sat a quarter of a mile off the big road and all the fences around the big house and along the front was made of barked poles, rider style, and all whitewashed.
Anthony Dawson gives a wonderful description of plantation life, Civil War, KKK, medicine, and the difference between house servants and regular slave workers. Dawson left Pitt County in 1900 and was living in Tulsa, OK in 1937, age 105 years.
