That Dickerson Wash also interest me. Is there a marriage record on him? Does it tell his parents? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Connie, I see no way to determine if these two where brothers from the marriage record. Each record will only list the primary participants i.e. surety, witness, guardian or family member if present and if representing the bride or groom. Keep digging! 14 Mar 1809, Dickerson WASH and Delphia CANNADAY, this name is also written De lphy Kennedy on the bond. Sur. Wm. Eddes. Married 15 Mar by Rev. John Lasley who says Delphia Kennedy.
