1755 Granville County, North Carolina Tax Records JOHN DOZIER and his son Leonard 2-0-2 --------- Elizabeth Vaughn & Bill Edrington & other Dozier researchers believe JOHN & SIBILLAH WILSON DOZIER to be the parents of James Dozier of Georgia rather than Leonard Dozier III as many researchers have concluded. JOHN DOZIER was the brother of Leonard Dozier III. When Elizabeth Ingo Dozier (mother of both JOHN & Leonard Dozier III) died in 1748 she named sons Leonard & James as executors, although JOHN was the oldest son. It appears that John was already out of the State of Virginia & in Granville Co., N. C. where he received a land grant (DB-B p 273) in 1753. He continues to show in Granville and Bute Counties until 1779. In 1779 Bute was discontinued and Warren County, North Carolina, formed. In Granville JOHN & SIBILLAH Dozier deed land to Leonard Dozier. In Warren County they deed land to James & wife Mary and William Webb & wife Sarah. All of these deeds were witnessed and proved by either Leonard or James Dozier. It is believed that JOHN and SIBELLAH were the parents of Leonard, James , and Sarah & as they married each was given land. James & Mary were married by 1764 because a deed where they sell lands shows that. In Warren "Old Bute" Will Book A p. 272 is the will of John Malone dated 6 Feb 1774 in which he names his son-in-law as James Dozier. John had a son Wood Malone - a name carried down through the James Dozier line. It appears that James's wife was Mary Malone & it is believed that this is the same James Dozier & wife Mary Malone Dozier who received a land headright grant in 1786 in Wilkes County, Georgia for himself and 14 others. This James Dozier had a son Richard who administered the estate of Sarah Webb in 1818. They had also gone to Georgia with James. Leonard Webb died in 1801 and in his will he left everything to Sarah. His will is in Lincoln County, Georgia Will Book A and dated 24 June 1801 and proved 22 Jan 1802. Sarah appears on tax records in Lincoln Co., Ga. in 1805, but in 1818 Columbia County, Georgia, Richard Dozier tendered his account for the settlement of Sarah Webb's estate. Evidently Leonard and Sarah Webb had no children, but Thomas Henry Dozier, another son of James & Mary Dozier named a daughter, Sarah Webb Dozier - apparently Sarah Dozier Webb was a favorite Aunt. --------- Known deeds for this family: Granville County, North Carolina DB-B p. 273 1753 JOHN DOZIER receives a land grant.
