Hi, The burials in that church are in the Cemetery Book, are you looking for those individuals? If so, I'd need more information because there are entries for more than one person with the same or similar name.

Don Dickenson San Rafael, CA ___________ Robert Nathaniel Dickenson of Franklin Co., VA was my third great grandfather. He was the son of John Dickenson (of Lousia/Hanover and later Franklin Co., VA where he was the first County Surveyor) and his wife, Isabella (Woods) Dickenson. He was named for his grandfathers, Robert Woods (first Sheriff of Franklin Co., VA) and Nathaniel Dickenson (who died before March 1783 in Louisa Co., VA). He married Cynthia Arnold Rives. Cynthia was the daughter of Joseph Rives and was educated at a girl's school in North Carolina, and was married to Robert at the family home, in Franklin County, on September 21, 1826. In 1834, discontent with the economic conditions then existing in Virginia and the lure of new and undeveloped land on the frontier led Robert to consider relocating his family. While on a journey to investigate the possibilities of settling in western Virginia, he received the following letter from his wife in Franklin County, dated November 15, 1834, and addressed to him "At Kanhawa Saline, Virginia": "Dear Husband: Father returned home the next day after leaving you in Fincastle, and told me that you did not get a situation to your liking; perhaps it is all right. The land in that country is very high and to get land unimproved would not suit us. I have beard since I saw you that Mr. Shrewsbury [husband of Sally Dickenson] intended to make you a very liberal offer and take you as a pardner in the store if you would except same, this news came from William Dickenson of Bedford. If this is the truth and we could have health would it not be the best for you to except of it and for me to have some person to help me to teach our own children and keep them as much under our own eye as we can (that is for a year or two) but if you think other plans best act the way you think best.

I hope to commence tomorrow week. The family will move in to the new house this week. I will do the best I can on help to make some compensation for our board. I have been in right good spirits ever since we saw each other, feeling assured you would do what seemed best for us all. My health I hope is improving, the children with all the family are all well.

I pray that we may have the spirit of Christ and that we may be taught by that how to do right in all things and toward every person and as we grow in years we may ripen for eternity. You have a good chance to attend on the means of grace, go often to preaching and also to prayer meetings and take up your crosses daily and whenever you feel like exorting to do so if it seems to be right, you know not what good it might do. The Lord can bless the weakest means to the conversions of souls. I am trying to be more faithful and prayerful than I ever have been.

Diane, There may be a connection with our Dickinson, Dickerson. The name was spelled serval ways. Sometimes I find mine spelled Dickerson or Dickenson, but my grandmother spelled it Dickinson as that was my Father's middle name. As I said Joseph married Elizabeth Wooldridge. Her father was Thomas and his was John Wooldridge. Maybe there is a connection there too. Joseph Dickinson had a son William. If you are interested in any of my Dickinsons and Wooldridges, you can contact me at _sckttcrnfl@aol.com_ (mailto:sckttcrnfl@aol.com) .
