He (Jeremiah Dawson) enlisted in the Revolutionary Army at the age of 17 and fought at Guilford Courthouse, NC. He was a sober man with excellent habits, simple tastes and high moral character. He received an ordinary English education, possessed strong natural sense, was six feet two inches in height, large 'raw boned' and muscular, a man of great physical power. He cared little for the acquisition of wealth, devoting his early years to the manly sports of bear and deer hunting, only giving that attention to his farm required for the maintenance of his family, and the education of his children. He had five sons and six daughters.
