Children listed as Jesse Atherton, Charity, and John Dawson(I did not copy the rest of the line, I think there was more).
[from the North Carolina Journal of History, Volume LI, Number 2, April, 1974]

Will Book 1, p. 69, hereinafter cited as Will Book(s). John Dawson of Northampton was a member of the North Carolina colonial council from 1745 to 1761 and should not be confused with the John Dawson who married Governor Gabriel Johnston's daughter Penelope in 1758. or with the John Dawson who died im Edgecombe County in 1779.
