Don - That's interesting. The period of time is about right. My great grandparents were born 1835 and '37. Their first child was pre Civil War in 1859. The others were born after the war was over. They lived in the Penhook area on the eastern edge of Franklin Co. As I said, they traveled by rail all the way from Franklin Co. to Callaway Co. My great-great grandfather Isham Hodges, born ca 1792, was also a blacksmith and farmer in the same area of Franklin Co. It might be interesting to see if your Dickenson family lived in Callaway Co., MO in the 1890 census. These two small towns were directly across the river from Jefferson City, MO which is the state capital. On their side of the river were primarily agricultural communities. The ferry from Cedar City to Jefferson City was one of the main passage routes for migration westward. I'm sorry that all I have is that little tease of a newspaper clipping that has left me puzzled for over 30 years as to who Mrs. Dickinson/Dickenson was to my family. I can only assume that she was a friend with possibly with a VA background. As my great grandmother grew up in the same area with a father who was also a blacksmith and farmer, the friends of the family in VA would probably be mutual.

Hi Kay, There was a "great migration" west in which many families left together and went to Missouri. The book "They Went Thataway" lists many of the people that went there. Some families didn't go all the way but dropped off at various locations and some came back.

Hi Beverly et al, In light with this conversation -- I save old newspaper clippings stored in family Bibles that I have collected over the years. This little clipping has always been a puzzle to me but I figured it would fit in somewhere, sometime. It was in the Bible belonging to my Great Aunt Gertrude Hodges who was the daughter of Richard Samuel Hodges originally of the area we are discussing. He died in Callaway Co., MO. The clipping is a brief sentence probably from the social notes. It says: "Mrs Samuel Dickinson, of Wainwright, visited at Capt. R. S. Hodges last week, returning to her home Sunday." I know she wasn't visiting my great grandfather but probably the entire family. My great grandparents and their children arrived in Callaway Co., MO directly from Franklin Co. in 1878. RS Hodges died in 1899 in Cedar City, Callaway Co. The two towns, not that far apart on the Missouri River, were best connected by the MKT Railroad. So this visit occurred during that time frame. Since my family never lived in Wainwright, I always thought this lady was someone from their lives in Franklin Co. Any comments?

Thank you for looking. I figure some day I will find the name of John's wife. There has to be some information someplace. Virginia did keep good records, so some place, sometime, I will find it. I am trying to prove that John was in the Revolutionary War, and he was a surveyor. I did see a book years ago, that did say he was the surveyor for that "county", but stupid me, I did not copy the information. I had been in Franklin Co about 13 years ago and "proved" who John was, and his siblings and parents, I believe it was Gertrude Mann's research. And I took teh family back about 4 generations from John with the wonderful information that VA has. Thank you very much.

Hi Again Margaret, I checked the other cemetery book which has people listed by cemetery and there aren't any of those spellings at all. There are 2 sections to that cemetery, new and old and they are probably in the old section, unmarked or the markers lost over time.

Hi Don, No Dickensons there. Just to clarify things, I'm looking at the 2 cemetery books from the historical society. One has people grouped by cemetery, the other one has them in alphabetical order. John doesn't show up in either one. Also, the Pigg River Cemetery has 2 section, new and old. There are probably a lot of unmarked graves in the old section, I don't know where we'd find those records. If this is the church I'm thinking of, it is a Dunkard church and they have great records.

Thanks Beverly. I thought the Turpins were out of Franklin before it would be possible to have a headstone that would last long enough to be recorded in a book. Mine moved on to KY. I appreciate your looking though. My Turpins were all mixed up with the Rentfrows/Renfrows. Anyone else working on these families?

Any Robertson/Robinson/Robersons buried there? I am looking for a female, wife of John Roberson who lived on the Pigg River in Pettsylvania or Franklin Co. She would have died about 1790 or so.
