• Notes

  Joseph Dickinson was born March 5, 1761 in Robeson Twp., Berks County, PA. The third child of Gaius and Mary (Newlin) Dickinson, he married Elizabeth Nuzum May 10, 1782 in a Quaker ceremony at Robeson Meeting. Joseph and Elizabeth lived in Berks County, PA until 1802 and all of their children were born there. The pioneer spirit which had actuated Joseph 1 to come to America and Gaius 1 to settle in Berks County, PA while the country was still a wilderness now led Joseph toward the West. His first move was in 1802 to Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia) of which Clarksburg is the County seat. They also joined the Redstone Monthly Meeting, miles away over difficult country. The Redstone Monthly Meeting in Fayette County,PA probably included part of Westmoreland County, PA and of Monongalia County, VA. Joseph Dickinson produced a Certificate from Robeson Monthly Meeting dated April 29, 1802, for himself, wife Elizabeth and seven children; Gaius, Elizabeth, Thomas, Joseph, Richard Nuzum, Hannah and Rebecca. Their devotion to the Church in which they were reared and trained is shown in the fact that the Redstone Monthly Meeting is in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, which is on the border of West Virginia and that Monongalia County and Preston County, West Virginia lie between Fayette and Harrison Counties. And, in 1802 there were no improved roads. In 1811 Joseph Dickinson came to Ohio from (West) Virginia. He lived two years in a cabin where Oren Outland's house now is in Zanesfield and after that, one year near Bellefontaine. He then bought of Simon Kenton 160 acres in the southwest corner of Survey No. 3439 and commenced in improving where J. W. Easton lives. After eighteen months, he learned that Kenton's title to the land was worthless. He fortunately recovered back his purchase money but lost his labor in improving the land. He then bought of James Catlett 125 acres in Dandridge's Survey No. 3220. Joseph Dickinson died January 24, 1832 at the age of 70 years, 10 months and 19 days. He and his wife, Elizabeth Nuzum Dickinson, are buried in the Hicksite Quaker Cemetery [now known as the Zanesfield Cemetery] about a half mile east of Zanesfield, Logan Co., Ohio. Their burial sites are located approximately 100 feet from the southwest corner of the church, where two modest stones of Quaker specifications mark their graves. - SOURCES: JOSEPH DICKINSON AND FAMILY; Some of his Ancestors and Descendants, compiled by William Hedrick Maddox, Wauseon, Ohio (1944), pages 13,14, RECORDS OF THE REDSTONE MONTHLY MEETING (Fayette County, PA) September 3, 1802, and HISTORY OF LOGAN COUNTY, OHIO, (1880), p.401
