children of Thomas Dickerson/Mary Chew?
Sorry, I'm now desperate to find who all the children of Thomas Dickerson/Mary Chew were..
I found a photo (explantion below of my dizzying visit with parents) that says "Baruch Dickerson and Wife, your great grandparents" and it's "addressed" to my FATHER.
Now we know his father, and his father's father, and we are certain then it's William - but then who in the dickens is this Baruch Dickerson? He LOOKES just like my Dad's dad! He's got the Dickerson face, and the nose, and he's NO doubt a Dickerson!! But who is Baruch of whom we have a photo????? Where was he? Who were his parents?
So I need to know - who were William's brothers and sisters, meaning Thomas's children.
I now know William's middle name was Case, not Chew like we thought. His son Amon had the middle name Chew. found birth and death certificates......... There was another Amon Chew Dickerson, a side line of our line, stayed in Woodward, Iowa, but we can't for the life of us figure out Baruch! Unless my Aunt JoAnn had it wrong.............
I had a very interesting converstation with my parents yesterday, unfortunately, I had to leave for home due to weather, but they pulled boxes of old papers and photos and we spend several hours - I scanned a lot of them, they said there was another trunk full in the garage. Shocked to learn of some of the things I did...........
WOW, I think I can shed some light now on some other families as well as the Dickerson line - I learned a few Tuckers, for example, seemed to follow my gr gr gr grandfather and grandmother to Iowa - they show the obits and such! At the same time William and Rachel end up in Iowa, seems to Tuckers did as well. Relation to Rachel? William's sister Mary Jane did also marry a Tucker - Wesley Tucker.
And there'sthis other Baruch Dickerson we have photos of and we can't connect him - Dad's sister IDd some of these years ago, wrote names on them, but wow, there are more questions than answers now.
My Dad's brother who died when he wasa 9? No one knows how his name was supposed to be spelled! The grave stone says one thing, the birth cert another, school papers disagree with the birth cert, and every other piece of paper made it more of a mystery, didn't solve a thing!
So was he Morris, or Maurice? No one knows! Dad said it was pronounced "Morris" but papers contradict this spelling.
Sorry, I'm in a daze! There was a literal goldmine of family information there - stuff I never knew existed. And finally, photos of my very handsome grandfather and great grandfather and their beautiful wives. Deeds, death certs, and more!
Fedelia married a gellow named Bush - that made Mom gasp "oh, no!"
Did great uncle Frank Dickerson die penniless in Iowa after losing it all on Nebraska, or did he go to CA, like one piece of paper seems to indicate?
Did great uncle Will (William) end up owning part of the dairy in Santa Barbara? One web site hints he might have.
I got a few answers but hundreds of questions out of that visit!
