I am looking for additional information on James H. Dickson and Margret Yates, who married 4 Mar 1848 in TN. The marriage ceremony was performed at the home of Squire A. Kimes. Since Abram/Abraham Kimes lived in Overton Co, TN and was a JP/Constable during the 1840'a, it is assumed the marriage took place in Overton Co., TN. The marriage was witnessed by William and Mary Yates. In the 1860 Census of DeWitt Co., IL, the James and Margret Dickson family includes Francis Yates, age 23 and Madison Yates, age 12, both born in TN. James H. Dickson B: 25 Dec 1829 in TN, D: 27 Jan 1886, DeWitt Co., IL - Parents Born in SC according to 1880 Census of DeWitt Co., IL Margret Yates B: 15 Nov 1829 in TN, D: 28 Mar 1899, in IL - Parents Born in TN according to 1880 Census of DeWitt Co., IL First child Mary Ann/Polly Dickson, B: 30 Mar 1850 in TN; Md Jackson B. Meliza 8 Oct 1871 in DeWitt Co., IL; D: 6 Jun 1915 in Oklahoma 8 additional children born to their union - all born in Illinois, including my own Grandmother, Harriet Ann Dickson Dillow. I won't take the space to list these children. My questions: (1) How is Margret Yates Dickson related to William and Mary Yates? (2) How is Margret Yates Dickson related to Francis and Madison Yates? (3) Who are the parents of James H. Dickson? (4) Who are the parents of Margret Yates? Can anyone provide me with additional information? Family tradition is that Margaret Yates Dickson is of Cherokee heritage. My search is for the parents of James H. Dickson and Margret Yates Dickson. I will be happy to share all the information I have on this family. Dorles (Dillow) Barber d.barber@mchsi.com
