Che Dickerson Family.
History of Morris County, page 356, [ 1643, have been traced and vo connec. has "Daniel Dickerson, the grandfather tion is found with the Daniel, of Den . ville. of Stephen Dickerson, of Denville, N. J., was a Revolutionary soldier. He lived on the Stephen Dickerson farm, now owned by the Denville Camp Meet- ing Association, and died in 1830, aged 85 or 86. He was also a soldier in the Freuch War. Besides operating his farm, he was a bloomer for Jolin Jacob Faesch at Old Boonton."
Morristown Presbyterian Church Rec- ords, page 60, have "Dauiel Dickerson died Mar. 23, 1826, aged 86." There are some of the family that hold to the tra- dition that this Daniel was a brother of Peter, who was born at Southhold, L. I., 1724, died May 10, 1780, whose moun- ment at Morristown, N. J., has that he "removed to Morris County, New Jer- sey, with his three brothers : Thomas, Joshua aud Daniel, and one sister, Eliza- beth, about the year 1745." These sons jof Thomas, the son of Philomon, who came from England to Southhold 13

In the "Early Germans of New Jer- sey," by Rev. T. F. Chambers, an error was written in convection the genealo- gies of this Dickerson family. He says, under date of Oct. 80, 1900, "That in tny book, The 'Early Germans of New Jer- sey', the information concerning Dauie! whose will, dated, Hanover, 13 Jan., 1826. was probated Apr. 21, is not cor- rect, as he is not the son of Daniel, whose will, dated Roxbury, 30 April, 1778, was probated Sept. 9, 1796, but of some parentage not as yet discovered."
The will of Daniel, of Roxbury, N. J., mentions sons : Abraham, Daniel, Na- thaniel, and daughters : Abigail, Rebec- ca and Elizabeth. Abraham gers ninety acres, Daniel gets seventy acres, Na. thaniel gets 110 acres, and the personal property was divided among the three daughters.
The will of Daniel Dickerson dated

Jan. 13, 1826, mentions sous : Nathaniel, David and Thomas (deceased), daugh- ters : Phebe, wife of Epbriam Howard ; Mary, wife of William Roff ; also chif- dren of Rhoda, who was the wife of Stephen Moore (deceased) ; also grand- children, children of Thomas (deceased), that is : Dariel, William, John, Mahlos, Silas, Stephen, Chillion, Jane and Josiah. Also mentions 105 acres that he bought of Nicholas Commesaw.
At the present writing, from the re- searches that have been made, in rela- tion to the parentage of this Daniel Dickerson, of Denville, I will adopt the story as related by the late David Cooper, whose acquaintance with the family dated back beyond the death of Daniel, and whose memory of old time traditions were remakable at his ad- vanced age.
The father of Dauiel Dickerson, of Denville, name unknowu, was a sea captain, lived at Elizabethport, N. J., owned a small trading vessel and was lost at sea. He had one son, Daniel, and oue daughter, name unknown. He owned lauds at Basking Ridge, N. J., which came in possession of his daugh- ter, who married, name unknown, and at Speedwell, near Morristown, N. J., which came in possession of his son Daniel. His wife remarried, name uni- known, and retained the home at Eliza- bethport.
Tradition has it that Daniel traded his lands at Speedwell for 105 acres with Nicholas Commesaw, now where Camp Tabor, N. J., is, built a house, now torn down, near the spring, a large stone in
the chimney of the house was marked D. D. 1760. Morristown records have it that this Nicholas Commesaw died of old age Nov. 12, 1803, aged 90. There is tradition that each claimed they were cheated in the trade of these lands, but that has nothing to do with our history. Daniel added much lands to his home farm, and at one time owned many hun- dred acres of adjoining lands.
Daniel Dickerson was born about or before 1740, probably at Elizabethport, married at an early age Phebe Genung. No records of marriage of connection of church at Morristown. ile was assessed for the salary of Rev. Mr. Everitt, of Rockaway church, Sept. 2, 1779, and again in 1781. His wife died May 182!, (King's Record). He died Mar. 13. 1526. Both probably buried at Rocka- way, but no monumental record.
Children of Daniel and Phebe Genung) Dickerson : there is a record of baptism, May 1, 1757, of Phebe, Dan. Dickin's wife of child Mary, which may have been a contraction of Dickerson, as old records were not particular in the spell. ing of names. There are no other rec- ords of child Mary ; perhaps she died young. Nathaniel must have been born in 1758, as he served in the Revo- Intion. He married Nancy Moore, daughter of David Moore and Rachei Haden. David Moore was a Revolu- tionary soldier and lived about one-half xaile northeast of the residence of J. P. Grayou, at Franklin, N. J .. near a spring. He married (1) Bachia Cutler. daughter of Uriab, Mar. 80, 1769, and had children : Rachel, born Apr. 20,

1771; Phebe, born Aug. 10, 1772 ; mar- ried (2) Rachel Haden, daughter of William, Sept. 4, 1777. William Badeu built the present Hoppler house at Franklin, in 1767. David Moore had children : Hangah, born 1778, married William Cooper; Stephen married Rhoda, daughter of Damel Dickerson, and Nancy, who married Nathaniel Dickerson. Nathaniel Dickerson, after the Revolution, built and lived in a house about 150 yards north of J. P. Crayon's at Franklin, removed to Ver- mont about 1830. David, no records of birth, marriage or death. There is a record by Dr. King of marriage, David Dickersou and Bailey Feb. 11, 1811. May or may not have been a second marriage of this David, as David is mentioned in will as living in 1826. Thomas, born Sept. 6, 1763, married Sarah Hall, daughter of Capt. Josiah Hall, of Denville, Jan. 8, 1783, diedjJuly 29, 1821. She died June 16, 1817. Both buried at Rockaway. Capt. Josiah Hall was a son of Tobias Hall, and lived nearly one-fourth of a mile. opposite Denville depot. He died Aug. 11, 1870. Had two daughters : Sarah and Eunice, and two sons: Seth and Noah. His widow died some years after, and in ap- plying for a pension, seut the muster roll of Capt. Josiah Hall to the depart- ment at Washington. Aaron, born 1768, married Eunice Hall, daughter of Capt. Josiah, Mar. 3, 1791, died Nov. 1827. No children. Place of burial unknown. Phebe, married Ephriam Howard Jan. 20, 1784. Hayward, in Morristown Rec- ords, probable son of Ephriam Howard, I
