Abstract:
This article discusses the history of Thomas Person, a sheriff, surveyor, judge, and General Assembly member working in North Carolina during the second half of the 18th century. Person worked in state government for over thirty years as an active Anti-Federalist spokesperson and advocate against class-based legislation. His outspoken personality galvanized many of his relationships with other government officials. Nevertheless, Person was fondly remembered by his younger contemporaries following his death in 1800.
