He was a Lieutenant in the Rowley Foot Company from 1681-1698, having been a Sgt in 1686. Served 6 years as representative to the General Court and was a selectman from Rowley, who with others in 1687, made resistance against the tax rates - an early rebellion against "taxation without representation" which caused several to be fined or imprisoned in Boston. From Gage's History of Rowley, pg 151. "2 Nov 1677: The selectmen met and pursuant to a law of the province, appointed ....(to include) John Dresser, George Kilbourne, James Barker William Foster, and Thomas Wood Sr, to see to it that the Sabbath is duly observed in town and the village; and it is intended that they shall have the special inspection of those families that are nearest to their house, on either or both sides of them."
In 1680, the town appointed 9 tythingmen for the town, to include John Dresser Jr. He moved from Rowley to Newbury before 13 Apr 1721.
