One is from Lamplugh in Cumberland, an area that I study. Other of your surnames that had Quaker branches in the area are: Dixon, Marshall, Pearson, Peile, Taylor and Wilson. There is a particular Lamplugh Quaker Dickinson/Taylor connection with Talbot County Maryland. There is also the partnership between the early ministers James Dickinson and Thomas Wilson (who travelled around America c1700).
