The following new message has been posted on Forum at <http://www.tngenweb.org/dickson/webbbs/queries/index.cgi>. *************************************************************************** MESSAGE: (#493) DICKSON Family/County Bombshell..more <http://www.tngenweb.org/dickson/webbbs/queries/index.cgi?rev=493> AUTHOR: Russell James DATE: Friday, 25 June 2004, at 9:03 a.m. I recently set forth the theory on this forum that Dr. Wiliam DICKSON, Jr. of Davidson Co. TN (and the person for whom Dickson Co. TN is said to be named) was "not" the son of Col. William DICKSON of Duplin Co. NC as generally accepted and published. But rather, he was the son of James DICKSON, Sr. of Duplin Co. NC. That theory was based on the following: Dickson Co. Deed Book A, pg. 329 James DICKSON of Duplin Co. NC conveys to William DICKSON, JR. a "resident of TN" in consideration of "my love and affection for my son", 640 acres on Jones Creek in Dickson Co. TN. The said tract was below the Chickasaw Trace and the adjacent lands of Jason THOMSON & John LARKINS are mentioned in the description. Witnesses: Edward PEARSALL, Molton DICKSON., Dated 26 April 1808. Recorded 1810. But was that William DICKSON, Jr., "resident of TN", the William DICKSON from "Davidson Co." TN? I kept looking for the sale of this land "after" 1808 with no luck but then I discovered: Dickson Co. Deed Book A, pg. 196 William DICKSON, Jr. of "Davidson Co." TN to Mathew McCLURKEN of Dickson Co. TN for the consideration of $500 conveys a tract of land containing 640 acres on both sides of Jones Creek in Dickson Co. It is below the Chickasaw Trace. It was a grant originally given to James DICKSON of Duplin Co. NC. Witnesses: Jason THOMPSON, John LARKINS. Dated 4 Nov. 1807. Recorded 1808 The dates are bothersome. How can he sell the land before his title to it? I "think" I have seen a Power of Attorney from James DICKSON, Sr. of Duplin Co. NC to Dr. William DICKSON, Jr. of Davidson Co. TN in the Deed book of Montgomery Co. before Dickson Co. was formed. At the time I thought it was Uncle to Nephew. Now I think it was Father to Son. It is so widely accepted that Dr. William DICKSON, Jr. of Davidson Co. (and the person for whom Dickson Co. is said to be named) was the son of Col. William DICKSON of Duplin Co. NC that I still have some doubts about my own discovery. If anyone has some type of proof contrary to this new discovery...please advise. If the theory proves true, a number of DICKSON family history and Dickson County history books need to be amended! I would like to exchange information with Upper Middle Tennessee Researchers in regards to several DICKSON lines here. I have easy access to the records in Houston, Montgomery, Dickson, Humphreys and Stewart Counties and my current project is to sort out all the DICKSON families n this area ca. 1800-1850. A project only a few weeks old that will probably last a couple of years. Russ James of Houston Co.

PARRISH was the son of Allen PARRISH and Frances HUNT. The family came to Dickson Co. after 1820. It is my understanding that the father (Allen) had died back in Virginia (Pittsylvania Co.) and the Widow and her children came to Dickson Co. where her brother, Spencer T. HUNT, lived. Frances bought land near the mouth of Salmon Branch where it flows into Yellow Creek. This family is covered in some detail in William NESBITT'S book "The Primal Famiies of the Yellow Creek Valley". There are several of us working the PARRISH line out of Dickson Co. Your PARRISH family group came out of Pittsylvania Co. VA and the other family came out of Person Co. NC. However, we do think there is a relationship. It's just a theory at this time. We would love to have you join our little reearch group if you are interested. If you've already been in contact with "Laura" who has left several posts on this Web Site, you may know everything I know. The site of the Frances PARRISH property is very near my home in Houston Co. Houston Co. was formed from Dickson Co. (and others) in 1871. *************************************************************************** This is an automatically-generated notice.

In the last two days the discovery of a deed found in Deed Book A, pg. 329 at the archives in Charlotte even suggests that Dr. Willam DICKSON, Jr, of Davidson Co. and namesake of Dickson Co. might not be the son of Col. William DICKSON of Duplin Co. NC Does anyone have documentation of the relationship? Did Col. William DICKSON mention his son in "The Dickson Letters"? I could be gettng two different William DICKSON, Jr's confused. I believe most DICKSON descendents in the Yellow Creek area are not descendents of old Joseph DICKSON but more likely are descendents of his brother James DICKSON, Sr. who remained in Duplin Co. NC. I can prove Alexander DICKSON and Elizabeth DICKSON (who was mentioned in old Joseph's Will) are children of James DICKSON, Sr. The other connections are theory. Fact is that, other than Molton DICKSON, the sons of old Joseph DICKSON all moved away fairly early. Most to AL or MS. I would like to exchange information on the DICKSON family with anyone interested.
