Sherry, Although I have not been able to prove it, our Dickinsons appear to have come from Virginia. Ken T. ========= In a message dated 7/16/2013 10:20:43 A.M.

My father wrote a Dickinson Book about ten years ago. Many of the early Dickinson's were in Virginia.

Ken - If you contact me at REBELSHER1@aol.com with the names and info on the farthest back you know, I'll check my father's book. It could have something to help you. He did a lot of research on numerous Dickinson lines and even had more recent lines in the book. Sherry Harris
