He was awarded a parcel of land containing 90 acres 22 Nov 1651 in Anne Arundel Co., Maryland. It was on the south side of the Severn River and the land's south side was bounded by Matthew Howard's land.

He converted to a Quaker after 1658 in Anne Arundel Co. He came about 1649 to Anne Arundel Co., Maryland from Lower Norfolk County, Virginia.

From The Dorsey Family:


By the year 1648, freedom of worship in Virginia had been prohibited and life there became less attractive. As a result, many settlers turned to the newly erected county of Anne Arundel in Maryland, where alluring inducements to obtain land were being offered, and where freedom of worship was said to be guaranteed. Among those who went were Edward Dorsey, John Norwood, Matthew Howard, Thomas Todd and Nicholas Wyatt.
