Lyman B. Dickerson, Robert's son, was born in 1805 according to the 1850 Federal Census for Trumbull Co, OH. It's certainly possible that Nelson and Lyman B. were brothers, since Robert had 5 boys and 3 girls in his household in the 1825 NY State Census for Benton, Yates Co. I will check the NJ connection, because I have seen records of Dickersons in NJ moving into Yates/Ontario Counties. I found a Robert Dickerson in Lyons, Monroe, NY in later census surveys, and he was born in CT in 1785. Lyman Dickerson Sr. moved from Gorham, Ontario Co.to Lyons NY with his son, the OTHER Lyman B. Dickerson and died there in 1850. This other Lyman B. Dickerson was a hatmaker, and died in 1841. His brother, Heman Dickerson, continued the business after his death. I am hoping by nailing down as many Dickersons in the area as I can, I can eventually work my way back to Robert and his family.
