Rosemary: Thank you for posting this Dick biography from the Dick Surname Board. James Dick, father of Dinsmore Dick, emigrated from County Antrim to Indiana County, PA in 1812. Compare with this: Samuel Dick was born in County Antrim, Northern Ireland on April 21, 1764. His parents died while he was quite young and he was raised by relatives. In the spring of 1783, at age 19, Samuel embarked on a ship at Belfast and sailed for America. He landed at Philadelphia but went directly to Baltimore to join his two older brothers who had come to America a few years earlier. They were engaged in the mercantile business in Baltimore but were about to move to the newly established town of Gettysburg in the southern part of Pennsylvania. They offered to take Samuel into partnership with them but Samuel was determined to make his fortune on his own. He spent a year in the Gettysburg area but moved westward across the Allegheny mountains to the western part of Pennsylvania, which was then referred to as the "backwoods." During the winter of 1785-86 he married Martha Allen Gillespie in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He lived in Washington County until 1790 when they moved down the Ohio river to Cincinnati. Cincinnati was then a small village composed of a few log cabins and a population of no more than 200. Samuel purchased a lot in Cincinnati on the northwest corner of Front and Walnut streets on which he built a house where his family resided for several years. He operated a grocery store and also supplied provisions for the troops at Fort Hamilton and other forts in the interior. He also kept a tavern in the house where he lived. He purchased several other lots in Cincinnati and then acquired a section of land (640 acres) lying on the headwaters of a creek now called Dick's Creek, in Warren County, adjacent to the Butler County line. In 1801 Samuel purchased a section of land on Indian Creek in what is now Butler County. In 1802, Samuel moved the family from Cincinnati to the land on Indian Creek where he raised the family and lived for the remainder of his life. Samuel Dick was one of the grand jurors in July 1803 of the first session of the Court of Common Appeals in Butler County. At the general election in October 1803 he was elected a member of the House of Representatives of the State of Ohio. He served in the legislature for one session but thereafter refused to be a candidate for any public office. Samuel Dick and Martha Gillespie had four sons and five daughters. The family achieved considerable prominence in the community and their lives are well recorded in the History of Butler County, Ohio. Samuel Dick died at the age of 82 on August 4, 1846 in the home of his son-in-law, Judge Fergus Anderson, in Ross Township, Butler County. The biography of Samuel Dick states that when he arrived in Philadelphia from Belfast in the spring of 1783, he proceeded to Baltimore where he met two of his older brothers who had previously come to America. Christopher Dick lived in Adams County, Pennsylvania which had just been created from York County. The History of York County contains a great deal of information about the descendants of Christian Dick. Christian, Jr., was born 1766 and died 19 March 1810. He is buried at St. John's Presbyterian Church, Abbottstown, Adams County, Pennsylvania. I wish Samuel had told us the parish in which he was born. In 1989 I asked the Ulster Historical Foundation to do a search for me. They told me that they wouldn't even attempt it unless I could tell them the parish, which I couldn't. As an indication of the number os Dicks living in Antrim, they mentioned that in 1862 there were 26 dwellings occupied by individuals named Dick. Arvil Hancock P.S. This information is quoted from the Dick Chapter in The Hancock Family of England and America, of which I am the author.

Indiana Progress, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Extracts 5 February 1874 Recollections of Indiana County from 1814. By an Old Inhabitant. It has been the appreciated privilege of your correspondent under the merciful care and protection of a kind Providence, to live to see his native wilderness so metamorphosed that if a full grown boy at day of 1814 had left his native cabin hearth and heard nothing of the changes taking place during his absence, should now return in full vigor of manhood, he could not find the location of his nativity, and in many instances could not point out the tract of land on which he had spent his youth. The first incentive to this great change was the erection of charcoal furnaces for smelting the rich ores in our hills and converting them into pig-metal and hollow ware and tilt-hammer forges to convert the pig-metal into bar iron. This opened up a market for cord wood, which, if it only paid the expense of taking it off the ground, was of great advantage to land owners in the immediate neighborhood of these furnaces and forges, as it greatly assisted in bringing the waste wilderness into productive farms, and all their productions found a ready home market, and the operation of these iron works gave profitable employment to industrious young men of my acquaintance, who earned their first dollar by chopping cord wood or coaling the wood after it was chopped. Many of these earned every dollar of the hand money of valuable lands which they bought and after years of toil converted into fields and meadows, from this products of which many of them were able to educate their sons and daughters in the best institutions of learning; and even before a turnpike road was inaugurated. Ligonier Valley had furnished sheriff, assemblymen, senators, congressmen, governors, and United States senators to sister states, besides retaining a sufficient number of men of talent and piety to carry the gospel of their Lord and Master to the opposite ends of the earth, may of whom never saw the walls of any other than a round log and clapboard roofed schoolhouse until they had acquired a more thorough knowledge of Historia Sacra, Virgil, and the Greek Lexicon than most of the graduates from our "highfaluten" colleges of the present day. Sixty years ago your correspondent was large enough to sit astride the kidneys of a broad-backed sorrel mare and hang on to his father¹s buckskin suspenders or the waistband of his tow-check trowsers [sic], his pedestals pointing towards opposite points of the compass accasioned [sic] by the breadth of old Dover¹s back, and the shortness of the hind rider¹s legs, which were necessarily held in a horizontal position; --if a fair day, to be carried to some shady spot where old logs were of sufficient number to seat a congregation of all inhabitants for many miles circumference, --but if an unfavorable day, to the most convenient barn, to the first place designated, there to hear the Rev. John Jameson or Rev. Mungo Dick, the only divines within the circle of our juvenile acquaintance. It is to be inferred that we were not very capable of correctly criticizing as to the merits of the sermon; but after growing some years older, myself and a younger brother having heard an American born preaching a sermon in a neighbor¹s barn, on our way home had been spending our opinions alternately to each other respecting the new minister, and upon arriving at home my brother said to mother, "Mamma, that man didn¹t preach a bit; he just talked like other people." We had never heard any others than the two previously named, both of whom spoke the broad Scotch dialect, which we had so long been accustomed to, that we had come to the conclusion that no other style of languages could possibly be preached at all. But to leave the subject of the eclesiastics [sic] and return to temporal matters. Within my recollection, my father got a farm wagon made at six miles distance, and when finished ready for hitching his horses to it, he was obliged to take it all apart and haul it home on a sled, and until it was worn out on the farm it could never be taken off it for want of a road wide enough for a wagon to pass. But better times were in store for the future. The old Frankstown road passed six miles north of us, and the old Pennsylvania road passed twelve miles south of us. Armagh and New Port were the children of the Frankstown road. Mollie Demsie kept the only store, and Margaret Grimes the only tavern in Armagh. James Moorhead kept the only store, and Fullerton Woods kept the only tavern in New Pot. Andrew Brown kept tavern almost on the identical spot of Smith¹s station on the Indiana branch railroad, and had perhaps the largest show of patronage of any stand in Indiana county ever had, so far as wagoners were concerned‹sometimes being compelled to open his fences so that the wagons could be driven into fields to find room to stand over night. The road kept its eye direct for Pittsburg, and would scarcely deviate in the least for any hill that a goat could climb, and went as straight up the hill west of Daniel Smith¹s dwelling as the compass could carry it. In the spring of the year the bottom always appeared to fall out of that part of the road. At any rate, if it did not fall out entirely, it went that far under that the wheels could not find it, and the consequence was that double teaming had to be resorted to to get up the hill, and sometimes three six-horse teams were necessary to haul a wagon with 20 gross hundreds, equal to 2,240 pounds, up that hill, and often times by the time all wagons were got up the hill the day would be so far spent that they could only reach New Port, a distance of scarcely two miles. About the close of the war of 1812, which was in 1814, the most gigantic enterprise at the time ever inaugurated in Pennsylvania, was the project of a turnpike road from Philadelphia to Pittsburg by the way of Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Bedford and Greensburg. This passed across Ligonier Valley almost parallel with the Pennsylvania road, not more than a mile south of that road. The counties of Mifflin, Huntingdon, Cambria, Indiana, and the north part of Westmoreland, not to be outdone by their competitors for the great Pennsylvania thoroughfare, followed and got a charter for a turnpike company, and the road was built, and Blairsville was its first village born of that enterprise. It was nourished on the life¹s blood of New Port, and that ancient town died long since of starvation. And now there is not one stone to be found upon another to show that a flourishing village had ever stood upon that groundŠ. About this date of our southern history, salt water was found on the Conemaugh river (a short distance above where Saltsburg now stands,) by old Father Johnston, the great grandfather of all the salt works west of the Allegheny mountains. This discovery, together with the facilities for obtaining iron, dispensed with the pack-horse business. But all these great improvements were destined to be of short lived duration; for James Clark, on the Westmoreland side, and David Reid, on the Indiana side, --both within the valley‹were, in 1814, elected to the Legislature‹both democrats of the old Jeffersonian school, intimate friends, and pulled together in the same harness. Reid proposed the matter, and we believe Clark framed the bill, authorizing the State of Pennsylvania to construct a canal or water communication from Philadelphia to PittsburgŠ. The canal brought into existence in Indiana County, Saltsburg and Slabtown, then crossing into Westmoreland, gave birth to Livermore, Bairdstown, Bolivar and Lockport, then crossing back into Indiana, a year afterwards, brought forth India, Centreville, Abnerville, Ninevah and Wallopsburg, and terminated in the basin at JohnstownŠ. -- Rosemary Miller Johnstown, PA

> Hint - Make your page big, for easier reading. This has lots of info. about the Dick family. This is a biography listed on the Dick Surname Board. DINSMORE DICK, one of Indiana county's progressive farmers, is a member of one of the oldest families of Wheatfield township. The founder of the family in Indiana county was James Dick, who was a native of County Antrim, Ireland. With his wife, who before her marriage was Mary Dinsmore, and several children, Mr. Dick left his home in Ireland in the spring of 1811 and crossed the Atlantic in a sailing vessel. When in sight of New York their vessel was captured by the Eng-lish and taken to Halifax, N. S, three of the sons, John, Robert and William, being pressed into the naval service by the British. They were for six weeks on the "Guerriere'' before they were released, and in the spring of 1812 the family made their way to Indiana county, Pa., locating in what is now Center-ville, West Wheatfield township. Mr. Dick became interested in agricultural pursuits and the remainder of his life was spent in work on the farm. Here he and his wife passed away. Their children were: John, born in 1787, who married Sarah Griffith; Robert, born in 1789, who married Jane Laps-lay; William, who married Isabell Nelson; THOMAS, who married MARGARET HICE; Jane, who married William Moffatt and (second) John Southwell; James, who married Anna Graham and (second) Mary Stewart; Jeanett, who married Thomas Love and Alexander B.

He grew to man-hood on the farm of his father, attending the schools which in those days were supported by subscription and were open only a few months each year. In spite of these limited chances for an education, he became a well-read man and well informed on many subjects by close reading. being of a studious mind and applying himself to his studies. He made farming his occupation, in 1850 moving to Brushvalley township and locating south of Mechanicsburg. Here he farmed for several years, in 1876 buying what is now the Charles Hileman farm, where he spent the remainder of his life. His death occurred July 4, 1897, at the age of eighty-seven years, five months, and he was buried in the Mechanicsburg cemetery. He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, was elder for twenty-seven years. superintendent of the Sunday school for some years, and served in township offices. He filled the position of deputy sheriff under Sheriff Truby. In poli-tics he supported the Republican party. Mr. Dick married Mary Kelly, daughter of John and Mary (Griffith) Kelly. and she died in 1899 and was buried in the United Presby-terian Church cemetery at Mechanicsburg. She was a member of that church. Children as follows were born to them: Agnes married Andrew Simpson (she is now deceased) Elizabeth is the widow of John Hood and re-sides in Homer City; James K., retired farmer and ex-county commissioner, resides in Homer City; Thompson is deceased; John, an undertaker, resides in Huntingdon, Pa.; Albert is a resident of Indiana; Dinsmore is men-tioned below; Robert Nelson is deceased; Harriet married Joseph Alexander, of Black Lick; Sarah Jane married Robert Phillips, of Blairsville; Margaret resides at Homer City; and Annie married William Kissinger and resides in Indiana, Dinsmore Dick, son of Alexander H. and Mary (Kelly) Dick, was born Sept.16, 1851, in Brushvalley township, where his boyhood days were spent, and where he attended the public schools. He continued to live under the parental roof until he reached manhood. He spent some time as an employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, until 1877 when he took up farming in Brushvalley, and his place is known as the Cherry Valley farm. Here he has been engaged in farming since, devoting his time principally to stock raising. He has made extensive improvements on the property, the present barn being built in 1904. Mr. Dick is a progressive and enter-prising farmer as well as a successful one, and he has spent the best part of his life in developing and improving his place. A stanch Republican in political principle, he has filled the public offices of school director and over. seer of the poor in his township. He is a member of the United Presbyterian Church. On March 9, 1877, Mr. Dick married Millisia Mack, daughter of George Mack, and to this union have been born the following chil-dren: George W., living at Latrobe, Pa.; Alexander. a school teacher for nine years, residing with his parents; and Myrtle, wife of Leo Fiola, a train dispatcher. of Duluth, Minnesota The above was copied from: History of Indiana County, Pennsylvania by Prof. J.

I am researching my Thomas Dick family, who were from Scotland, and emigrated to the Ulster Plantation in Northern Ireland. Thomas left Ulster in the 1720's and settled in Pelham, Massachusetts, where a Scoth-Irish community had been formed. His son Thomas Dick jr. (1756-1806) married Mary McMillan in 1780. Jim

I believe this branch of the "Dick" family, may have evolved from "Dix" which often shows up in the Irish clans.

Hello: My husband's grandmother was Jennie DICK. She would have been born about 1890-1900 and married Thomas KINGSTON. They had five children. They raised their family in East Aurora NY, just outside of Buffalo in Erie County. I have been assuming that she was from the NY area, but recently learned that Thomas KINGSTON may have been born in KS, so perhaps Jennie is from that area as well. The DICK and KINGSTON families have been "brick walls" from the beginning for me. Anyone on this list with any ideas on where I could start? I've tried USGENWEB archives in both states.

1) I was just curious whether or not you had seen it. Why would somebody submit info on your family? 2) There are a whole lot of Dick's in my area of research in Germany going way back if I understand correctly. I found my family records from the IGI. Again, I already knew several names, places of birth and some dates. I know there are often errors in the IGI but I am positive this is my family. This info came straight from a microfilm of the Civil records from Essweiler. Who knows, we may find a connection if I can ever get that far back.
