Biography

Dempsey Nowell was a North Carolina colonist.

This profile is part of the Nowell Name Study.

Dempsey Nowell was born about 1727 in Bertie County, Colony of North Carolina. He was the son of Martin Nowell and Unknown Nowell. Dempsey Nowell purchased land "near Nowell's other lands" in Bertie Co. in 1754. He is listed on the Bertie Co. Tax Lists of 1753, '54, '55, '56, & '57^[1], and it is probably him on the Murfree Tax Receipt Bk. of 1770. On 24 Oct 1758, he bought land in Bertie Co. from Jacob Keel. He is also listed in the Records of Estates: Bertie Co., NC 1734-1788, Vol. II, Loose Estate Papers by David B. Gammon as a buyer at the estate sale of Thomas Parker. He is probably dead by 1779, because it looks like Dempsey, Jr. on that tax list. He died in Hertford County, North Carolina.
