Looking for some of the surname lines known to marry into my Dickens lines in Gibson Co., TN. Any info appreciated. This Dickens line and known allied family lines can be downloaded in gedcom format (will have to unzip also) [leon10.ged] at : http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/7046/ Anything gets close, don't hesitate to holler. This line has been shown to connect back to Charles Dickens (the author)- on gedcom. Not a direct descendent of this Gibson Co. line - just related. Uriah Dickens, one time Sheriff of Gibson Co., TN met with Charles Dickens on his American Tour and they worked out together how they were related. This Dickens line is also documented in Dickens of Halifax by Oliver H. Carper and William M. Mann in Southside VA Families Vol II; Hist. Southern Families Vol IX. If any of you with Gibson Co., TN lines have connected your lines to any these documents, would like to hear from you. Uriah Dickens migrated into Gibson Co., TN (from Chatham Co., NC) around 1827 where his first daughter was born. Could have possibly married his first wife (Sarah Teddar) there. At one time, ran across a relative of Uriah's (cannot recall particulars), a Revolutionary War Vet. who got a large chunk of land granted in Gibson about the time Uriah migrated to Gibson. Uriah's father, Thomas Dickens born 08 Oct 1761 North Carolina, Halifax Co.; died 23 May 1852 North Carolina, Chatham Co. (married Mollie Stevens) was a Revolutionary War Vet. Here is a glimpse of the Uriah Dickens family of Gibson Co., TN (and his 18 - and I hope that was all - children - - whew, mercy). Actually, I suspect more than one child from his first marriage - raising this total. Uriah is my Gr. Gr. Gr.
