• Notes

  Elizabeth was the oldest child of Richard and Hannah (Worrall) Nuzum. Richard and Hannah are said to have been married in 1760. If that is correct, there was time for one child before Elizabeth was born, February 18, 1763, the date being taken from the Bible records of Joseph Dickinson. Elizabeth walked in the straight and narrow path prescribed by the Quakers and in due time and with all ceremony, her engagement was announced in the Robeson Monthly Meeting for two consecutive months. On May 10, 1782 she was married there to Joseph Dickinson. While Joseph Dickinson lived in Zanesfield (Ohio) in the spring of 1812, on his first coming to the County, His Excellency Governor Meigs visited Zanesfield with his staff for the purpose of inspecting the blockhouses and other defenses of the post. It was resolved to make his visit the occasion of a grand reception and Grandmother (Elizabeth Nuzum) Dickinson, whom none knew better how to spread an excellent repast, was charged with the duty of providing for the creature comforts of the Governor and his attendants. The arrangements bade fair to be carried out in good order. The soldiers belonging to the blockhouse with the armed Indians were drawn up in line and received their distinguished visitor with a grand salute whose echoes rolled down the valleys bringing a horseman in hot haste from the extreme south end of the County supposing the post was under attack from the enemy. But what was the mortification of our excellent hostess was to be compelled, while His Excellency was making his round of inspection, to observe the imperturbable braves from time to time gravely enter her cabin and unceremoniously appropriate such of the viands as suited their fancy until when the hour arrived for her honored guests to dine there was nothing left but such scraps as the dignified red men deemed unworthy of their attention. Elizabeth died in 1860 as near as can be ascertained, aged about 97 years. She is buried in the Hicksite Cemetery, beside her first husband, Joseph Dickinson. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Windham, who was 84 years old in 1933, was the granddaughter of Elizabeth (Nuzum) Dickinson. She said that when she was nine years old, "her grandmother was a very handsome old lady with white hair, very white skin and blue eyes. She was very proud". - SOURCES: HISTORY OF LOGAN COUNTY, OHIO, p.408, and JOSEPH DICKINSON AND FAMILY; Some of his Ancestors and Descendants, compiled by William Hedrick Maddox, Wauseon, Ohio -(1944) page 119
