Posted on: Benton Co. Mo Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Benton/961 Surname: Dickerson, Dalton, Black ------------------------- I have a John Dickerson d. 1823 in Sumner Co., TN m. E. Dalton with a son Richardson Dickerson m. a Black. Richardson moved to Benton Co., MO about 1839 with Thurmans. John's sister Mary Dickerson (my line) m. William Thurman. A couple of the Thurman children were living in Sumner co., TN as were several of Mary Dickerson's brothers. This line is confusing. I may be all wrong on this one but check the Sumner co., TN site and you will see what I am talking about.
