Ambrose Dawes was born 24 July 1642 in Braintree, Massachusetts. He married Mary Bumstead about the year 1662, but certainly before December 1663.

Like his father before him, he was a brick mason, (in 1669-70 he was appointed with his father to survey chimneys). He was imprisoned for helping to build the foundation of the Third (Old South) Church in Boston on the charge that they had failed to get permission to erect a meeting house for the new congregation.

Ambrose was a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston. He served in King Phillips War from 1675-76 and was a member of Capt. Thomas Savage's company of Boston Militia from 1680-86. He also served in King William's War as a lieutenant under Capt. Nathaniel Hall and Major Benjamin Church. In this last war he suffered the loss of an eye, for which he was compensated L10 out of the public treasury.

Abrose died on 5 November 1705. He is buried with his wife in the King's Chapel Burying Ground
