For Julia Griffis -- re: Edward Sherman Dickerson
Hi, Julia -- hope you're still checking in at this forum!Last night I posted this message as a reply to your original message, dated July 2001, and thought I'd post it here, too, just to be on the safe side.
A new-found cousin in SC recently sent me copies of a few pages out of an old family Bible. Your Edward Sherman DICKERSON, his brother Raymond Beecher DICKERSON and their father Ezra appear in the list of births, leading me to believe that they are related to our family in some way. Our line is that of Ziba C. WARD (b. 1821 in either NY or NJ -- census records differ) and Lydia MEAD (b. 1825, of New Jersey).
Ziba and Lydia had 8 children; their son Raymond M. (b. 1851) married Martha STEED in 1874. Raymond and Martha had 10 children; their son Alfred H. (my step-dad's father, b. 1888) married Mabel MORGAN (b. 1892 in PA), daughter of William D. and Margaret G. MORGAN (both of Wales).
Can you tell me if either Ziba or Lydia and your DICKERSONs are connected?
Thanks for sharing your info!
