I say that because I was really looking again for any data that would explain what rock my Hiram Dixson/Dickinson ( Abt. 1812-11 Aug. 1853, bur. Haines Neck Methodist, Mannington Twp. Salem County, NJ) crawled out from. I have his name spelled at least 3 ways...sometimes on the same document. Sheesh. Anyway, only pulled this family file by "mistake" but did a quick scan anyway, and was surprised to discover the tie to one of my grandmother's Webber cousins in the Sharptown area of Salem County, in a file I would have never known to check. So I copied it, and once I checked my data base at home, I realized the Thompson connection to a Jaquett as well. Just never know where we'll find them, eh? I did check with someone, this record was NOT included in the Bible records book that GCHS published. However, I apologize if any errors have crept in. I was typing from a typescript, with every effort to be leave it exactly as given...mispellings and all, Still, the further away from the original document in time and space, the more chance there are for errors. There was no information given on the page as to who donated this record and I have no idea who has the Bible now, but anyone who wishes might contact the GCHS for a photstat copy of the original typescript or the full contents of the Dick family file.
