About Thomas Dabney Dimitry

Thomas Dabney Dimitry was a mixed-race clerk, superintendent, and secretary. He was the son of Alexander Dimitry and Mary Powell Mills, an interracial couple. Throughout his life, Alexander endured countless instances of racism along with the Dimitry Family. The Dimitry Family passed as white to escape racial hardships. Alexander, was the first person of color to function as the principal clerk for the Southwest Postal Department in Washington, D.C in 1835, a position he held for four years, and he was one of the few people of color to hold a government position in the Confederate Government as chief clerk to the postmaster general and later assistant postmaster general of the Confederacy.
