FAMILY
HISTORY NOTES

|||||||||||||||||||||||
By 1744 John
Dickson (1704-1774) had
brought his family to that portion of New Hanover County, North Carolina that
would become Dulpin County in 1749.
In 1752, John was Clerk of the County for Duplin County. John passed away on Christmas day 1774 at
the age of 70. He left a will in
Duplin County in which he provided for his children: Michael, William,
Robert, Joseph, Alexander, Edward, James, and a daughter named Mary who
married William McGowan. By early manhood, Michael Dickson,
(1731-1825), son of the aforementioned John Dickson had
traveled extensively throughout the western frontier of North Carolina. It is
unclear where he lived during his young manhood, but he ultimately settled
back in Duplin County where he owned land and pursued the occupation of
farming. The best documentation
of Micheal Dickson in the county is to be found in Duplin County, Deed
Book 1, page 28, which was taken away to Sampson County, when it was formed,
and was never returned to Duplin. The deed states thus; "7th Nov in the 7th year of the reign of George III
(1767)......Henry Mccullock To John Dickson, Planter Of Duplin . 203 acres on
Northeast (Cape Fear) and Black Rivers and Widow Evans' Branch below Michael
Dickson's old field." Further evidence of his Duplin residency comes
from the records of Grove Presbyterian Church. Church records state: ...... "Major
Michael Dickson was among the early Presbyterians of this settlement". Samuel Henry Neely
(c.1695-c.1779), along with his wife Elizabeth and family removed from
Pennsylvania by 1744 to that portion of New Hanover County, North Carolina
that would become Duplin County in 1749.
The
marriage of Samuel and Elizabeth’s daughter Sarah Neely (1735-1815) to Michael Dickson may have occurred
in Duplin County between 1750 and 1755. |
