Can you tell me where the name Dickenson comes from in the Gorsuch line?The Dickenson name occurs in Baltimore County, MD with Dickenson Gorsuch.Dickenson also occurs with Lovelace Gorsuch in Talbot Co., MD when he obtains a piece of property called "Dickenson Plains".I am following an Anderson line in Baltimore County, MD that has a Dickenson Anderson and in the 1798 Baltimore Co., MD Tax List he is living on Charles Ridgely's Hampton Estate as a tenant farmer and also living on the Hampton Estate as a tenant farmer is a John Gorsuch.I suspect that my Anderson's may have migrated to MD from Va and wonder if the Dickenson name originates originallyin VA between the time that Ann (Lovelace) Gorsuch dies in 1652 and the time of Gorsuch migration into MD
