Wire Dickerson w/Mary ch Eliz,Susan,Mary,Wm
I am trying to tie Wier/Wire Dickerson to the Thomas Weir family of Pittsylvania Co., VA who died in 1775.
I ordered an index of the Grantors of all Deeds in this county.The index lists Wier Dickerson/Dickenson granting Presley W. Smith a Power of Attorney on 6 Nov 1834 (Deed Book 37, p.11).Another listing grants a Power of Attorney to Stephen Arnett on 10 Dec 1839 (Deed Book 43, p. 258).This listing shows the Grantor as Wier Dickerson Estate, Mary Dickerson (executrix), and Elizabeth, Mary Ann, Susan, and William.
I intend to order the films to review the actual entries and will post them on this forum after I have transcribed them.If anyone has access to these Deed Books and finds them before me, please post the details on this forum.
The dates of these entries indicates a death date for Wier Dickerson between 1834 and 1839, consistent with the date of his will in Union Co., KY in 1837.Also, the wife's name and children Susan and Mary are consistent with Census information in Union County, KY.I am virtually certain that the Wire Dickerson of Pittsylvania Co., VA (powers of atty, Thomas Wier will-1775); Caswell Co., NC (1790 census); Sumner Co., TN (marriage); and Union Co., KY (will) are the same person.
I am anxious to know if any of these other names rings a bell with anyone.I am most interested in finding Wier Dickerson's parents.However, many times you can figure it out through descendants, so if you are related to this line please reply.
Hope this helps,
Alison
