Edmond Dickenson ^78,183,208

  General Notes:

Email note from Max Ervin about Amanda and her family dated August 19, 2000:

Lived at Dickensonville, Russell Co. Believed to be the brother of Lewis Dickenson, who also lived at Dickensonville; and possibly the brother of Griffith Dickenson who lived at Gibsonville. Also George Dickenson's Will, executed March 1850 in Russell Co proves that he and Lewis are brothers. It is also believed that Joannah Dickenson Meade, second wife of Henry Meade (Russell Co), is a sister. All were born Hanover Co. Joannah's marriage bond was given by George Dickenson, probably her oldest brother, with her father, Henry, deceased. It is believed these Hanover people are the children of Henry Dickenson and Rosannah, based on the marriage record of Joannah. Based on location, Henry is probably a descendant of Nathaniel Dickenson, brother to Thomas who was the father of Russell County Hnery, from whom the other Russell Co Dickensons are descended. It appears that Edmund and his siblings came to Russell in the early 1800s, much later than Henry and his sons.

Edmund was in Russell at least by 1813, when he substituted for Daniel Sutherland for the War of 1812, serving 6 months, and honorably discharged at Norfolk on 10 March 1814. Edmund Dickenson is listed as a Corporal in the War of 1812 Pay Rolls, page 338 (LVA).

In Edumnd's household in the 1860 census are Armanda 13, Henry Susan M 6, and Robert 4, believed to be grandchildren. In 1850 Amanda C. Dickenson 2, and Henry Dickenson 1, were in HH1056 with William Akers 34, and 6 Akers children.

In the 1850 census, Polly is listed as age 45, and in the 1860 census as 65. In a statement for husband's pension, she states they were married about April 1817. (The marriage may have been later, as their first child Matilda, is believed to have been born about 1821). With what is believed to be their last child, Margaret, born in 1843, Polly was most likely born between 1800 and 1803.

1. Alt. Birth: Alt. Birth, Abt 1788.
