I am tracing the family of John Dickson and his wife Jean Ramsay. Their son James Dickson (b 1696) married Jean Frow. James Dickson (b 1696) and Jean Frow had the following children: Jean Dickson (b 1726) John Dickson (b 1728) James Dickson (b1730) William Dickson (b 1733) sp. Elizabeth Bell George Dickson (b 1735) Margaret Dickson (b 1741) Alexander Dickson (b 1749) William Dickson and Elizabeth Bell had the following children: William Dickson (b 1764) James Dickson (b 1766) sp. Ann Smith Jean Dickson (b 1767) James Dickson and Ann Smith had the following children James Dickson (b 1796) Jean Dickson (b 1798) George Dickson (b 1802) William Dickson (b 15 Jul 1804 Linlithgow, Scotland) sp. Christina Barrie Elizabeth Dickson (b 1806) William Dickson (b1804) and his wife Christina Barrie sailed from Greenock, Scotland on Apr. 30, 1841 to Montreal, Quebec and settled in the (Trenholmville, Quebec) Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. It is thought that Chistina Barrie (daughter of William Barrie and Margaret Wilson) or her father was send from France to Scotland, Ireland or England by their family to avoid the religious problems that they were facing in France. Little is known by the writer of this branch of the family and any additional details would be appreciated.. William Dickson and Christina Barrie had the following children: James Dickson (b Nov 5, 1827, Bathgate Scotland,) (d 9 Aug. 1829 Edinburgh Scotland) Margaret Dickson (b 8 Jul 1829) (d 23 Jul 1833 Glasgow, Scotland) * James (John) Dickson (b 12 Jan 1831 Dalkeith) (d 1813 Trenholmville, Que.) sp. Charlotte Trenholm * Ann Dickson (b 21 May 1833 Glasgow, Scotland) (d 19 Nov 1907 Eaton Colorado) sp. John Trenholm Jr. George Dickson (b 5 Aug 1835 Belfast Ireland) (d 19 Jan 1838 Glasgow, Scotland) * William Dickson Jr. (b 23 Oct 1838 Linlithgow, Scotland) (d 16 Sept 1887 Goldendale, Washington, USA) sp. Cordeila Brock * John Mitchell Dickson (b 13 Mar 1841 Glasgow, Scotland) (d 18 Aug 1920 Melbourne, Quebec) sp. Elizabeth Trenholm * Christina Dickson (b14 Jul 1843 (Kingsey, Quebec) sp. Andrew Smith * George Dickson (b 24 Nov 1854 Kingsey Quebec) * These families has scattered from the Eastern Townships in the Province of Quebec to points throughout Canada and the United States. I would be pleased to receive information on any possible connections. I will also be pleased to share any and all information I have on these and related families from this area such as STEVENS, POPEs and TRENHOLM(e)s, Lysters, Boasts which I am also trying to trace.
