In that data that i have on the DICKSONS by A.T. Outlaw it says:" Col. John DICKSON ..........His home place was on Elder, a branch of Maxwell Creek, and was purchased by him in two or more tracks from Cap Archibald DOUGLAS, of the Kingdom of Great Britian and others. His land on Goshen,where he had lived for a short time, was sold to Capt. Joseph GRIMES. I noticed that Major Thaxton when writing about the John Washington KORNEGAY Bible records stated that in the Bible was an article from the Mt. Olive Tribune (Mar 18, 1975) which references Polly KORNEGAY & Stephen Gilmore WATKINS, it would be interesting to see what that article had to say as tfheir son Thad Harget WATKINS b. 12 Sep 1832 Duplin Co NC-d. 6 Feb 1908 Big Springs, MS; he is said to have married (1) Teo GRIMES (a direct desc of Daniel BOONE in KY) whe died 9 months after marriage of typhoid and he m. (2) Hattie COOPER, his first cousin, she the d/o William COOPER b. 1801 Duplin Co NC & Ann Isler SIMMONS d/o George Washington SIMMONS & Hester KORNEGAY. Thad & Hattie had a dau Mary Ruth WATKINS who married (1)a GRIMES in NC who died; m. (2) after 1905 in MS John EGGER. Pat Hoffman
