MILITARY: Richard I. Dickson served in the U.S. Army during WWII in the European Theater. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross as well as five Bronze Stars for his actions during the war. Richard enlisted 31 July 1942. (I can find nothing to back up Richard's decorations. This is based on a brief news article found in Ethel Garner's things. Researching this appears that it is a confusion with another Richard Dickson)

Richard and Louise had no children.

From Cheryl Gilbert on Facebook:
Hi Scott-
I don't really know much about Uncle Dick's WWII service. My dad was stationed in Europe and I seem to remember them talking about it, but I was a kid and didn't pay much attention.
Here is what I do know:
He and Aunt Louise both worked for the County of Los Angeles in the Flood Control District. They wanted to have kids, but were unable to. At one time they were going to adopt, which was a long and arduous undertaking back then. They had gotten close to the top of the list and they decided to move to a house with a bigger backyard. They had no idea that if you moved you had to start the whole process over again. They figured that by the time they got to the top of the list again they would be too old so they dropped it.
They always had dogs. I remember them having two cocker spaniels at one time and later on I think they had a golden retriever, but I'm not sure about that.
They both retired from the County in the late 70s (I think). I remember going to Uncle Dick's retirement dinner. Aunt Louise didn't have one as she had taken a medical retirement. She had polio as a child and even though there was no paralysis, she always had health problems. She died after a long illness and Uncle Dick was never the same after that.
About a year after she died he decided to go to Arkansas to visit family. He bought a new car for the trip. He was supposed to be gone 2-3 weeks and I thought he would call me when he got there, but I didn't hear from him. I waited about 3 /12 weeks and called; he said he got as far as the California border and was so lonely he turned around and came back. I guess he was too embarrassed to call and tell me.
In the last year of his life his health declined and he had been hospitalized a few times. The last time he was in the hospital I was there visiting and he told me that he thought it would be best if he went into a nursing home, at least for awhile and asked me to find one for him. I called the hospital the next day to see if they had an affiliation with a nursing home and he had died during the night. I was very upset that they didn't call me.
His best friend was named Norm Plater and he was also Uncle Dick's attorney and a fellow member of his Masonic Lodge. Norm made the arrangements for the Masonic funeral. Norm has probably passed away by now.
Uncle Dick had a great sense of humor and he and my dad were always pulling practical jokes on each other. I'm pretty sure that he played golf. I don't remember ever meeting any of his family.
That's all that I can remember right now.
Look forward to hearing from you on Facebook!

Hi Scott-
Richard Dickson was my uncle my marriage; he was married to Louise Jones, who was my father's sister. I remember Uncle Dick very well. They lived fairly close to us in Southern California and we used to see them pretty often. I also spent time with them a few summers when I was a child. I assume that you know that he was very active in Masons (I seem to remember that he was a 32nd degree Mason) and had a Masonic funeral. He and my aunt are buried in Rose Hills Cemetery in Whittier, Calif. I have visited the graves a few times.
I will be happy to share my family tree with you. I am working on the Jones line and finding it very frustrating as they repeated names in every generation. I think I have some pictures of Uncle Dick and Aunt Louise and will try to upload them.
If you're on Facebook my name is Cheryl Gilbert.

Notes:

OCCUPATION: Streetcar Driver, Owned a shoe repair shop.

granddad

His father died when the children where very young. His mother then remarried. The new husband never allowed any discussion of the previous marriage, hence information past this point is likely lost. Left home around the age of 14, since he didn't get along well with his step-father. Worked for the railroads in and around Fort Smith, AR. Drove streetcars in Fort Smith until they were discontinued. After . the streetcars shut down, he opened a shoe repair shop. Granddad worked with him in the shop for a while.

ACTION: Get the address of this store from Granddad. The store is now a Harley Davidson shop.

Southwest Times Record: Ex-Street Car Man Opens Shoe Repair Shop -R.H. Dickson, formerly for years a faithful street car motorman, has just opened a shoe repair shot at 19 North Ninth St, across from the Tribune. Mr. Dickson has installed machinery and equipment and is now well prepared to render good service.

Robert was a motorman until the Ft. Smith streetcars shut down on November 3, 1933. After that, he opened his shoe shop. He had done some shoe repair as a young man. Once he left the street car line, a cousin George taught him what he needed to open his own shop. Shortly after opening his store downtown, a space came open at "The Junction",much nearer to the house, so he moved his store there. Granddad worked with him for several years before marrying and moving to California. Prior to working on the streetcar, Robert had worked in a steel foundry and had seriously injured his back. He and two other men were carrying a long steel beam. The man in the middle lost his grip and dropped his load. That left only Robert in the back and another man in the front. When the man in the front then lost his grip, Robert was injured, having his back muscles pretty badly torn.From then on, he was unable to do any sort of heavy lifting.

Census:
I am skeptical of this record. There is another Robert Dickson who shows up in Texarkana that could be this person.

In the 1900 Census, Robert is enumerated as boarder and farm laborer east of Broken Bow, OK. One discrepancy is that his father is listed as being born in Georgia.

Occupation:
I am skeptical of this record.

Census:
Robert is listed as a lodger in the home of Bert E. Anderson.

Census:
Between 1930 and 1935, the city of Fort Smith renumbered streets at Divison St. so that 14th St became 29th St.

Notes:

In trying to figure out where Ethel and Robert might have met,Granddad said that Ethel came to Ft. Smith from Yell County to attend a business college as a young woman. Presumably, that put her in Ft.Smith where she met Robert.

Granddad says that while his parents were never overly affectionate in public toward one another, it was always evident that they loved each other. He said that once in a while if he and Richard might come back from playing early, they would find their parents sitting on the porch with Ethel sitting in Robert's lap.

Notes:

We know very little about John H. Dickson. In the 1880 US Census, he reports that his father was from Tennessee and his mother was from Virginia. By the 1900 US Census, we find his family in the household of Jack A. Jones in Arkansas. From this, we can deduce that he died sometime between 1880 and 1900, most probably before 1889, based on the ages of the children of Jack A. Jones and his wife.

According to Eric Beard, John H. Dickson was the son of David and Elisa Dickson. This family lived in Talladega, AL at the time of John's birth, later moving to Leake Co., MS. At some point, John's sister Mary E. Dickson and her husband Lorenzo Dow Williams, along with John's brother William, moved from Leake Co., to Desoto Co., MS. It seems likely that John must have joined them there.

While many deeds are recorded during this time in Desoto and Tate Co.,MS, for William Dickson, the only records of John Dickson in Desoto Co., MS are a marriage record for J.H. Dickson to Martha A. Taylor and a mention in the 1873 tax assessment. In the 1880 US Census, John's wife is in fact recorded as Martha A. Dickson, so this appears to be the correct marriage record. However, no Taylor family has yet been found to place Martha in a family.

The 1873 tax assessment of Desoto Co, MS shows J.H. Dickson owning 80 acres.

The 1880 census of Prairie Co, AR shows him and his family. It shows his mother as from VA and his dad from TN. The 1890 census is lost, but 1900 shows his wife(?) and his children in the home of Jack A.Jones in Sebastian Co. From this, we can guess that he died around 1889.

While no family for Martha Taylor has been found, the 1870 US Census of Desoto Co., MS includes a family of William Taylor. Enumerated with this family is a J. Dickson, age 21. No Martha is in this family, however. Assuming that John is part of the family of David Dixon, in 1870, he is enumerated with his parents.

According to Rhonda Dickson, wife of David Noyle Dickson, grandson of Cecil Dickson, John Dickson married Martha Taylor. They knew this as factual, so the marriage records found in MS are the right ones.

MARRIAGE: IGI M516483, 1051 Need better Marriage Record.

I believe John served in the Confederacy - 33rd Miss Inf., enlisted in Carthage

Records in Crawford county are sketchy at best. There are limited probate indexes and even fewer actual records. No deeds to speak of. Limited tax records.

Birth:
Eric Williams reports John H. Dickson's birth as 1838.

Military:
I am confident that this John Dickson is the one in Co. F. Co. F of the 33rd Mississippi Infantry was organized in Carthage, Leake Co., Mississippi. John was enumerated in the 1860 Census in this county, where Carthage was the county seat. I have not found any other John Dickson in the county.

https://www.nps.gov/civilwar/search-battle-units-detail.htm?battleUnitCode=CMS0033RI

Military:
While in the hospital, John was assigned extra duty as a nurse.

Military:
Service card says that John rejoined his unit after desertion, losing several cartridges to his rifle along the way. He is demoted to Pvt from Cpl.

Died:
I have always thought that John had to have died by 1889 because his wife remarried to Jack A. Jones in 1890. However, he appears in the 1892 list of voters who have paid the poll tax. If he paid a poll tax in 1892, he had to be alive.

That means that perhaps there was a divorce between him and Martha.

Or the record of the voter list is wrong.

So, for now, I will note the new death date, but consider that he may have died before 1890.

John married Martha A. Taylor on 12 Sep 1872 in Desoto, Mississippi, United States. Martha was born in Sep 1858 in Alabama, United States; died on 11 Sep 1931 in Creek, Oklahoma, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Martha remains a mystery. While a marriage record for a J.H. Dickson to Martha A. Taylor exists in Desoto Co., MS in 1873, no other Taylor information has been found. In 1870, a J. Dickson appears to be enumerated with a Wm. Taylor family in Desoto Co. But no Martha is in that family.

In the 1880 Prairie Co., AR census, Martha and John Dickson are enumerated. However, after that, Martha's name gets difficult to trace. She is enumerated with Jack A. Jones in 1900, but the name given is Emma. Maybe that's M. A. One of her step-daughters was named Emma, as well. However, in the marriage return for her marriage to Jack Jones, she is listed as Mrs. Sue Dickson.

MARRIAGE: IGI M516843, 1051

Though I found her in the 1880 census for sure, I'm not certain about 1900. I found the household of Jack A. Jones, her second husband, as well as her children in this household. But, in 1880, she is listed as Martha A. and in 1900 she is listed as Emma S. The length of the marriage is such, though that I think this must be the same person.Her father and mother are reported from GA in 1900. 1900 census lists her birthdate as Sept. 1858.

Perhaps the key to finding Martha is to concentrate on her children by her second marriage. Maybe the Jones family has some information. Moreover, Clida Taylor is listed as a step-niece of Jack Jones in the 1900 census. That gives credence to the Taylor connection. Probably she is the daughter of one of Martha's brothers. Look for Taylors near the Jones family in Arkansas, as well as near them in Mississippi and Alabama (near Dicksons).

In the 1880 census, Martha reports that she has had 6 children, of whom 5 are living. In the 1910 census, it says she has had only 1 child. From this, I would surmise that there were two children with Jack Jones, one of whom who died

Perhaps, she was Martha Susannah Taylor. There is a Taylor family on the next page of the census in 1870 with a Susannah, age 12, which would fit Martha. See Desoto Co, T5R7, dwelling 372. It appears that her mother is Martha and that she has an older brother W. A. Taylor. This leaves us still with no father for her.

---
Given that Martha A. Taylor is later on known as Susannah, let's focus on that.

Just one page over from the David Dickson family in the 1870 census, there is a W.A. Taylor family with a daughter, Susannah. She was born in 1858 in Alabama, which is consistent with what has always been reported for the wife of John H. Dickson. This may be a really good lead. This family is headed by W.A. Taylor, but he is only 22 years old. I would propose that he is an older brother to Susannah. There is a Martha that is 40 years old that is likely the mother.


Birth:
Based on census responses, her parents might have been from Georgia or Alabama. She was likely born 1856-1858. There are several likely candidate families in Alabama and Mississippi that need more research to narrow down which might be hers.

Minnie's delayed birth certificate says she was born in Tennessee and was 29 when Minnie was born.

Name:
She seems to have gone by both names.

Census:
In the famiy of George W Shifflett & Minnie Z Shifflett, a Martha S Anner is listedas George's mother-in-law. Since he has been married only once, this must be Minnie's mother. So this is our Martha / Susan. She is listed as 64 years old and widowed, born in Alabama.

Census:
In 1930, Martha is shown as Martha Jones, living in the home of her daughter and son-in-law in Oklahoma. She says that she is 73 years old (b. abt. 1857) and was 16 when she was first married. That's a bit later than earlier censuses would indicate.

Died:
In the Oklahoma death index, there is a Martha A. Jones listed as having died on 11 Sep 1931. However, the death certificates are not open records in Oklahoma and require considerable proof to obtain. Therefore, this may not be a great record to pursue to get more data on Martha.

• Census: 16 Aug 1870, Desoto, Mississippi, United States

Notes:

Of the children listed on the 1870 Census, I suspect that the younger 4 are children of Mary E. Dixon Williams. The dates just don't jive otherwise. Likewise, Lucy Vaugh listed there would likely be the mother of Elisa.

In the 1850 AL census, David Dixon had a son John who matches in age to my John H. Dickson. In 1860 in Leake Co., MS, we find him again with John 22 years old. Mary E Dickson, sister of John, moved to Tate Co, MS, to Coldwater after the war with four children and a brother William. Her husband, Lorenzo Dow Williams, was killed in a battle at Franklin, TN. All of this according to her g-grandson, Eric Williams.

NOTE: Uncertain, but looks likely. Might be descended from the Dicksons of Dickson County, TN, probably through Michael Dickson.

In Marengo Co., there are a lot of Dicksons already there in 1830. Likely connected - Joel, Samuel, N.F., Watson, Thomas.

In Desoto / Tate county, there are a large number of Dicksons who do not appear to be connected. The History of Tate County has a submitted history of a lot of them.

Census:
Is this really the right David Dickson? Why would he start out in Tennessee, go pretty far south into Alabama, quickly come back to Tennessee, and then head back to Alabama and on to Mississippi? I am no longer really convinced that this is him.

Census:
Interestingly, there is a Dixon's Mills in Marengo County.

Wikipedia - Beginning in the late 1820s, Joel B. Dixon, Sr. operated a water-powered gristmill at a dam that he and his sons built on Mill Creek along the old Linden-to-Choctaw Corner Road. The modern U.S. Route 43 bridge over Mill Creek now stands at the location. Dixon (January 11, 1777 – December 23, 1861), a native of Edgecombe County, North Carolina, was one of the early settlers of Marengo County. His business grew and eventually included a steam engine-driven sawmill and two steam-powered cotton gins. The mills remained in use into the first years of the 20th century. They were still standing in 1923, when they were demolished during the construction of Route 43.

The next house down is Bob Blackburn. There is a will for a John Dixon in 1900 that lists Bob Blackburn as his father in law. I am not sure who this John Dickson is, unless he is the John Dickson that I have called mine.

Notes:

MILITARY: Jeff Garner was the only one of John Page's sons or sons-in-law who fought for the Confederacy; all others served the Union.

Ref: [Military,,Jefferson GARNER], [Page,,Page93a]

Jeff Garner's wife, Lucinda, applied for a Confederate Widow's pension in Arkansas on 1902-08-21. Her widow's number was 13750. According to the pension index, Jeff died in 1883. Also listed in Yell County are veterans Arch Garner & Columbus F. Garner.

Not on 1884 York voters list

Garners do not appear in the York County, SC deeds. On further examination of the tax lists and the census, they do not appear to actually own land.

Census:
Richard Page, age 40, is enumerated next door to Jeff & Lucinda.

Military:
Jeff Garner enlisted in Co. E, 5th Regt. South Carolina Infantry on April 13, 1861, just days after the first shots were fired at Ft. Sumter. Through 1862, Jeff Garner moved into Co H (the 2nd company) of the same regiment due to reorganization. Beginning in January 1863, he is listed as being detailed to "extra or daily duty at Brigade Quarter Master" rather than in the line with the rest of the men of the unit. Many of the cards list him as a wagonmaster during this time. Finally, he was paroled at Appomattox at the end of the war, having served the entire war with no indication of injury.

From the National Park Service Solidiers and Sailors database: "5th Infantry Regiment, assembled during March and April, 1861, contained men recruited in Laruens, Lancaster, Spartanburg, and Union counties. It was ordered to Virginia and, serving in D.R. Jones' Brigade, saw action at First Manassas. Later it was placed in General R.H. Anderson's, M. Jenkins', and Bratton's Brigade. It participated in the campaigns of the army from Williamsburg to Fredericksburg, then served in Longstreet's Suffolk operations and with D.H. Hill in North Carolina. Moving again with Longstreet, the unit did not arrive in time to take part in the Battle of Chickamauga, but was engaged at Knoxville. Returning to Virginia, it was conspicuous at The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Cold Harbor, in the trenches of Petersburg, and around Appomattox. This regiment reported 3 killed and 23 wounded at First Manassas and totalled 650 men in April, 1862. It sustained 21 casualties at Williamsburg, 81 at Gaines' Mill, 73 at Frayser's Farm, 39 during the Maryland Campaign, and 102 at Wauhatchie. In 1864 it lost 18 killed, 95 wounded,and 16 missing during The Wilderness Campaign, and from June 13 to December 31, there were 11 killed and 65 wounded. On April 9, 1865, the unit surrendered 19 officers and 263 men. The field officers were Colonels A. Coward, John R.R. Giles, and Micah Jenkins; Lieutenant Colonels Andrew Jackson, G.W.H. Legg, and John D. Wylie; and Majors Thomas C. Beckham, William M.Foster, and William T. Thomson."

Findagrave, however, says that all the markers in this cemetery are lost.

Milton married Eliza Lavona Huckaby in 1861 in Yell, Arkansas, United States. Eliza (daughter of Alfred Huckaby and Nancy Terilda Stewart) was born on 3 Feb 1846 in Mississippi, United States; died on 21 Aug 1924 in Arkansas, United States; was buried in Hollis, Harmon, Oklahoma, United States.

Notes:

Findagrave shows two different graves for Eliza - one in Yell Co., Arkansas, and a second in Oklahoma. She is not found in the 1920 census, but supposedly died in 1924 according to one entry, but 1920 according to the second.

There is a marker for her in Oklahoma but no marker in Arkansas, due to loss in the cemetery. I cannot come up with a good reason for there to be two markers, with one as a memorial marker, unless she is buried in Oklahoma and the memorial was in Arkansas.

Findagrave does have extensive information about her parents, however.

Arkansas: http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=43650784
Oklahoma: http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=8471028

The note in the Arkansas Findagrave indicates that her mother was Nancy T Menifee. So far as I can tell, she was Nancy T Stewart. The marriage record to Albert Huckaby says Miss Nancy Terilda Stewart and the last census before her death (1880) also says Huckaby, so she died a Huckaby with no remarriage. It could be she was married briefly before marrying Albert, since she was several years older than him. This merits some investigation

Census:
PARENTS: father from SC, mother from TN

Census:
The census reports that Eliza & Milton have been married for 39 years and that she has had 14 children, 9 of whom are still alive.

Census:
In 1910, 7 of Eliza's 15 children were living.

Died:
Findagrave records her death as either 21 Aug 1920 or 21 Aug 1924. She also has findagrave memorials for Dryden Cemetery in Harmon Co., Oklahoma and in Yell County, AR.

If she were in OK, then it seems she would have been with someone in her family there in 1920, but she was in AR for the 1920 census in April.

Buried:
In my notes, I have that she is buried at the Dryden Cemetery in Hollis, Harmon Co., Oklahoma. I think this is likely my own data entry error. Will need to check my records.

From Findagrave:
Eliza L Huckaby's mother was Nancy T Menifee. I know the census say Mary. Eliza had a sister Terilda who was my gg grandmother. The family names were written down in 1906 and their mother is listed as Nancy T Menifee Huckaby.

Note: Originally typed 20 May 1993 by Marilyn Roberts. The cemetery is about one mile south of Hwy. 27. About 20 graves but no markers. The markers were all turned over and the cemetery was all grown up. A new stock pond had just been built when this was copied and one wonders if some of the graves were not dug up by the dozers.
