This compiler can find no primary proof that William Douglas Dickson i s a child of Douglas and Johannah Dickson, only circumstantial evidence . In about 1893 Hiram Ray gave an oral report to Goodspeed Publishers t o be included in A Reminiscent History of the Ozark Region. He Stated : "H.R....was the eldest of twelve children born to the marriage of Will iam and Frances (Cross) Dickson, both natives of the Old North State. Wi lliam Dickson was the son of Douglas Dickson and the grandson of Thomas D ickson, who was a native of Scotland and who came to this country at an e arly age. The latter settled in North Carolina, and there followed farmi ng, as also did his sons, in Ashe Co. There his death occurred. Dougla s Dickson died in that county also. The father of our subject (William ) grew to manhood in North Carolina, and about 1856 came to Missouri loca ting on a farm in Reynolds County. He was a prominent man in the county , a leader in the Baptist Church, and an excellent citizen.

3. LUCY ANN4 DICKSON (JOHANNA3 PENNINGTON, MICAJAH2, BENAJAH1) was born Abt. 1815 in Ashe Co., NC, and died 1883 in Ashe Co., NC. She married DANIEL BLEVINS Abt. 1831 in Ashe Co., NC, son of JAMES BLEVINS and LYDIA SIZEMORE. He was born Abt. 1814 in Ashe Co., NC, and died 12 Jul 1864 in Ashe Co., NC or Washington Co., VA.
9/21/00 - Carmen, here is a connection to Group 7 but round-about....Abel Pennington b.1836 who was son of Andrew Pennington b.1809 - Abel married Emily Blevins (his first wife) who was his first cousin on his mother side of the family (her father was Daniel Blevins, brother to Abel's mother Hester Ann Blevins). Well, Emily's mother was Lucy Ann Dickson and father was Daniel Blevins. Lucy Ann was the daughter of Johannah Pennington b.3/24/1779 who m. Douglas Dickson. Johannah was the daughter of Micajah Pennington and Rachael Jones.
One of these days I might find a direct connection with my GGG-Grandad Andrew to Micajah.
This family was to have lived in Ashe Co., North Carolina until the 1850's when they moved to Washington Co., Virginia. It is believed that he died on 12 Jul 1864 supposedly in the Confederate Army. At this time it is unproven as there were at least four persons by same name in the Confederacy.

Notes for TEMPERANCE LOUISE BRADSHAW FITZGERALD: Notes from Shirley Ward.
The following a a reprint of a letter received by this compiler in 1957 from Ola Bowers in Ellington, MO.
Grandmother Dickson was borned in North Carolina about 1832. Her name was Temperance Louise Bradshaw, her mother was French, father Irish. The Bradshaws moved from North Carolina to Tennessee. When she was 14 year s old they crossed the Cumberland Mountains through the Cumberland Gap i n a wagon, settled in Tennessee, where she was married to Alfred Fitzgerald about 1851. There were four children: Elizabeth, Frank, George and Annie. Alfred moved from Tennessee to Missouri and came by floating down t he Ohio River to Cairo in a houseboat stopping at river towns to sell merchandise they carried on the boat. They sold the boat at Memphis, Tennessee, and came by wagon to Howell County, MO. There Alfred died of typhoid or summer fever it was called at the time. He died in June and Annie w as borned in August of that Year, 1860.
Grandmother sold her possessions in Howell County and started back to he r people in Tennessee. She hired a man to take her to Ironton, Mo. There she expected to get on a train, but the War between the States was on and the man got scared of Price's Army, which was near Ironton and put Grandmother out in a log cabin at Barnesville, now Ellington, and went back to Howell County.
Grandfather Dickson, whose wife had died a few weeks before and had left him with four children went after her and they were married. Tennessee Louisa, your mother sic(grandmother) was the first of their children . Sherman and a twin sister were second, the twin girl died. Temperance Laura was next and then a little girl Grandpa named Ulysses S. Grant Dickson. She died at four years. And then Eugenia was the last child.
Uncle Sherman Dickson is alive yet. He lives in Elma, Washington; and Aunt Genie Evans is still living in St. Louis, Mo. All the rest are dead . All of them have children except Aunt Genie, who has about lost her memory. Any other question you would like to ask I will answer if I can . I hope this will help to grow your family tree.

"William D. Dickson (Democrat) of Logan's Creek, was born in Scott Co., T N. December 13, 1837; moved to Reynolds Co. MO with his parents in 1857 ; entered the Confederate service at Batesville, AR, in August, 1861, an d served during the war, part of the time as Third Lieutenant of Co. B, T hird Missouri Cavalry; returned to his farm in Reynolds Co. after the war ; served in the Thirty-sixth General Assembly and re-elected in 1892 to t he Thirty-seventh; farmer. Married."
"William Douglas Dickson was born in Whitley County, KY, Dec. 13, 1837, w as the son of William Douglas and Francis Dickson. When he was two year s old his parents moved to Scott Co Mo, and later moved to Reynolds Co. , MO and settled here permanently.
On Oct. 25, 1860 he was married to Sarah Jane Rayfield also of the count y and they established their home on Doe Run Valley. With his own hand s he cleared the forest, built his little house and for fifty-six years h ave made it their home. To this happy union were born 14 children, 12 o f whom reached manhood and womanhood. Eleven living and all were aroun d his bedside during his last days.
Early in life he gave his heart to God, was converted at the Old Camp Gro und on Logan Creek under the preaching of Brother Ben McNiel. He joine d the Methodist Church at once, being baptized by Brother Jim Copeland, t he pastor then in charge. For fifty-eight years he was one of the most f aithful members of the church and only left the Church Militant for the C hurch Triumphant Thursday morning, July 6, 1916, at three o'clock at th e ripe age of 79 years, 6 months and 23 days.
His interest in his church and family occupied the first place in his hea rt and life and he gave to these an unstinted sacrifice. His county ha s been much enriched by the investment he made of his life.
He served two terms in the Missouri Legislature, the 35th and 36th Genera l Assembly. He was quiet and unassuming, and when he spoke, it was to th e point.
In the second year of the Civil War he enlisted in Col. Green's Company B , 3rd MO Cavalry and remained until the close of the war.
In October, 1910, he and his faithful wife were given the privilege, fe w men enjoy, that of gathering to their home their family to celebrate th e Golden Anniversary of their wedding, and not one of us who were there c an ever forget it. Not a face was missing in that gathering. One expres sion came from his heart that day that will linger with us. "The happies t days of our lives were when you were all with us." Today he is the fou rth of that circle on the Other Side.
He spent his life well and in his going he had no regrets. For nearly a m onth he was confined to his bed and endured much suffering but not one wo rd of complaint did he ever utter.
To all those who went to his bedside, who had not taken Christ as their S aviour, he would talk to them of their souls and ask them to meet him i n Heaven.
He tried to comfort his family, telling them they ought to rejoice for hi m. Death had no sting for him for he had "Put his house in order." He l eaves behind a lively Christian wife, eleven children, 26 grandchildren a nd three great grandchildren..............By one who was present.

Comments: Johanna's line is definitely a work in progress. I'm not sure that we have a complete list of her children and grandchildren. Some of the children listed are certainly grandchildren...but it is difficult to separate them to any extent because of the census. Earlier versions of Johanna's line by the PRA has Johanna as dying before 1820...this is certainly not true, because she is listed in the 1850 census. She is not listed in the 1860 census, so she dies sometime during that 10 year span.
