George Dyson's younger brother. George Dyson's letters lament Abraham's indolence, but he seems to have worked with Joseph Banks in 1810 in a very peculiar operation involving the meticulous sharing out of merino sheep between a group of eminent landowners. He also seems to have travelled to Lisbon in 1816 on a business venture.
