while governor of north carolina, dobbs sought unsuccessfully to establish a permanent capital, to be called george city, near tower hill and the neuse river. plans were drawn up for a palladian governor's mansion similar to tryon palace, which dobbs' successor, william tryon, would erect 10 years later in new bern. dobbs' governorship was overshadowed by the french and indian war and the start of the american revolution. shortly after his arrival, dobbs visited the western frontiers of north carolina, organised the construction of fort dobbs, and attempted to raise troops to fight in the french and indian war. dobbs moved to brunswick town, north carolina in 1758 where he lived for the rest of his life. in 1759, and 1760, governor and assembly were often at odds. debt, indian affairs, public complaints about lord granville's agents and about dobbs' failure to put down riots in edgecombe county and elsewhere, and dobbs' frequent vetoes of assembly bills led to intense tensions. dobbs even dissolved the assembly in 1760 and ordered new elections, but this plan backfired; a secret committee drew up outlandish charges against the governor to be sent to the king. only the succession of king george iii, which brought additional powers to dobbs, saved him from further conflict with the assembly.
