I am very interested in exchanging information. Also, any clarification or thoughts on the information below is greatly appreciated. This is what we know regarding
our Thomas Dickerson, Barren County, KY family line:
Thomas Dickerson/Dickinson Timeline
Born before 1775, probably VA
1799 - Chain carrier for Skeggs Creek Area, Barren County, KY
1806 - Justice, Barren County, KY Court
1807 - Purchases?? "large valley that leads up from the Big Blue Springs and Green River", Barren Co., KY
1807 - Listed as a witness with Benjamin Dickinson and Power of Attorney in Barren
County, KY deed books.
1808 - Listed as a witness in Probate and Will books.
1810 - listed in Barren County, KY 1810 Census
1812 - membership out of Old Mulkey Church in Monroe County - July 1812
1820 - Listed in the Barren County, KY Census. Living alone.
1830 - Not found in the Barren County, KY Census.
NOTE: On the 1820 Barren Co. census, there is a William Dickerson, and a Thomas, both born 1776-1794. They are both found on the same page of the census. I would
guess they may be brothers. I would also guess the elder Thomas (b. before 1775) may be their father, as he is also on the same page. Thomas Dickerson migration:
b. before 1775; VA (1798) - Barren County (1799) - dies? before 1830 Census.
