Henry "Hal" Dixon Jr (1740-17 July, 1782) was born in the part of Grantville County that later became Orange and then Caswell, he was the son of Henry Dixon Sr. and Elizabeth Ann Abernathy. Little is said to be known about his life before the Revolutionary War. Biographical SketchThe following is from [1] "...That Dixon had received some militia experience is clear, for when North Carolina was charged to form its first units of the Continental line in September 1775, he was commissioned to captain of the First Regiment. He rose through the ranks quickly, becoming a major in July 1776 and a Lieutenant Colonel in May 1778...In the spring of 1778 the North Carolina legislature appointed Dixon "Inspector General over Militia," a post he held for the remainder of the war. His considerible duties involved raising militia units, equipping them for action, and coordinating their service with the Continental command. He was in close contact with Generals Jethro Sumner and Nathaniel Greene in defense of the southern states. Battles Fought During The Revolutionary War1. Battle of Brandywine Sept. 11, 1777, 2.
