Alexander Dickason served in the Rev. War from Hampshire County, MA. Three service listings are found in the DAR Patriot Index and the Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the American Revolution. All three of the serviced recorded are for late 1776 in Capt Winship's Company, 4th Regiment, commanded by Lieut. Col. Thomas Nixon. (Note: ther is als a Col. JOHN NIxon commanding the 5th regiment, to which Capt. Winship reported later in the Rev. War. Alexander is cited as Dickason, Dickson and Dixon in the three service citings. According to DAR information b. 1752 MA, d. Armstrong Co. PA in 1837.. m. Elizabeth Valentine, 1778 Springfield MA (today Hampden Co., then Hampshire Co.) A son Alexander (2) is documented as having numerous children in Armstrong Co., although Alexander(2)'s birth is attributed to 1) Ma, 2) Baltimore, MD, 3) Eastern Shore MD, and 4) PA. My Dickason family is well documented in Armstrong County but I have not been able to connect them to Alexander's family. The desired connection is not to make me eligible for DAR {:-) Others in my family have done that through a variety of lines. PROBLEM: I can find NO THING on Alexander(1) anywhere else. No Pension application, no Bounty Land Warrant Application, nothing in the Rev. War Soldiers Index (reviewed by film at the FHC), mothing in index to Rev. War Service Records, Vol 1, Virgil D. White, nothing by search at Familysearch.org or Ancestry.com. You get the picture. Can anyone give me suggestions for other sources to use to trace/find the elusive Alexander Dickason/Dickson/Dixon. Sincerely, Don Dickason from New Jersey
