John J. Dickinson is buried in the Green family cemetery--men with him were with the Alabama 1st Cavalry of the Union. Much information can be found on these people in the Southern Claims Commission files--lots of witness testimony. I have the probate of John J. Dickinson--it's on microfilm--Marion county--wills/probate--1895
