His name is John Dickey. John was born about 1788-1789 in Pennsylvania. He married Margaret Longcor on November 3, 1819 in Rome, Ohio. There they had four children Clarrisa (1820-1821), Martha (1823-1824), Lucretia (1826-1827), and Soloman (1827-1828). I have been able to trace my family after John but I have been unable to trace my family before John. The reason I am at the Elkhart webpage is due to the fact that in the 1850 census John was 61 years old and living in the Clinton Township. Knowing the time period people did not live a long time so I wanted to see if John died there in Indiana and if there was any mention of him or his family still in Indiana after the 1850's. I live in Texas and I am busy trying to trace other members of my family from this area as well. Any information that may be able to be provided would be much appreciated.
