Dickson, was son of John who died in Texas in 1858. Joseph's wife was Artemecia Michele Hamlin. This researcher stated that Joseph's mother may have been a first wife (maybe Martha ? ) of John Dickson who later married Sarah Hannah Nichols on Mar. 15, 1848, before going to Texas. John gave power of attorney to his son Henry J. Dickson to sell his land in Bibb County, Georgia and John's estate was settled in 1858 in Crawford County, Georgia. This researcher states that John, Joseph's father, was the son of Michael Dickson, Jr. named in Michael's will. > > Another researcher states that John Dickson, son of Michael Dickson, Jr., signed his will on June 11, 1829. It was probated Dec. 7, 1829 and named his wife as Martha. The will names sons John, Robert, Thomas, William, Benjamin, and Barnett; daughters Nancy, Mary, Sarah and heirs of daughter Lucy. Witnesses were brothers Thomas and Benjamin. > > There was no son Joseph N. mentioned in this John Dickson's will. However, I'm afraid the source from which this researcher took information is not a reliable source. > > So - rather than answer your question, Mr. Dixon, I'm afraid this only adds to the confusion. Evidently there were two John Dicksons - one the son of Michael Dickson, Jr. and another who may have been Michael's nephew or his brother. I have not been able to document which John was the father of Joseph N. Dickson. Would like to hear from you and share ideas.. > > > This is an automatically-generated notice. > > <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Crawford?admin> > >
