My Immanuel Jackson Dickson was born Oct. 13, 1871, most likely in the Spartanburg, S.C. area. His father was Charles William Dickson, b. 1808. Charles and his two brothers George and Joseph lived in Burke Co. Charles left there after the Civil War and moved to S.C. Charles, Geoge and Joseph were supposedly the only sons of John Dickson who lived his whole life in the Friedberg settlement outside what is now Winston-Salem. It is an interesting story about your Jackson Dickson, however I believe he is at best a cousin.
