John Dickerson's father was Zachariah Dickerson (1760-1831) who probably was born in Hanover County, Virginia.He died in Elbert Co., GA.He may have married a Susan, who would have been the mother of his 5 children.He married Nancy Davis in 1819 in Elbert County.
Zachariah's children were Dolly, Polly (b. 1807), Robert (b. abt. 1780 in Virginia), John, and Rhoda. Rhoda shows up on the Hart Co. GA census in 1860.
John Dickerson (1784-1862) married Elizabeth Thornton, Dec. 29, 1812.Elizabeth was daughter of Benjamin Thornton Sr. and probably Sarah Upshaw--though there's some question about Sarah. Elizabeth was granddaughter of Rev. Dozier Thornton.
John and Elizabeth had 7 children: John A. Dickeson, Thomas T. Dickerson (b. abt. 1822), Rhody Frances Dickerson (b. abt. 1830), Zachariah Dickerson (b. 1833), Dozier D. Dickerson (b. 1837), Mary Ann Dickerson (b. 1838) and William Harwell Dickerson, (b. 1839).
William Harwell Dickerson was my great-grandfather.--Jim Lee
