- John and Mary Dawley are in several deeds at Exeter in the 1740s and 1750s. Some of the wils designate him as John Jr., while others do not; one has both designations in the same will. The surname is sometimes spelled Dawly.
Notes from find-a-grave "virtual cemetery" memorial for "John Dawley III":
"John made Freeman of the colony 1 Tues May 1730 when of North Kingston -- farmer and carpenter. Lieut. of Exeter Militia C company 1743-44-45. Will made 10 Jul and probated Nov 1755 [my note -- where?] names wife Mary; sons Michael, John, Job, and Peleg; daughters Elizabeth Rathbun, Lydia, Margaret, and Mary. [Wife] Mary was also mentioned in Job Tripp's will. In 1752 one widow named Mary Dawley was on the Exeter tax list; Mary's will made 26 March 1756 named all of the children listed in this family (except Job?). In 1771 Mary Dawley alias Stephens dau of John Dawley of West Greenwich deceased was warned out of Exeter and returned to West Greenwich. Brother Daniel was Executor of John's will." (I am not sure of the source of all of this info -- needs more research)
