Judging from the will of Samuel, probated 1766, the family was quite well off. So it might have required John to be in the U.S. to build that up. However, it may have just been good fortune. The Dickersons from Cadiz, OH are no relation. My maternal grandfataher was born near Cadiz, OH in 1842. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
