PIONEER FAMILY BRADDOCK DICKERSON



1. BRADDOCK DICKERSON was born 01 Jul 1760 in Southold LI. He is believed to be a son of John & Elizabeth (Corey) Dickerson and probably was named after Capt. John Braddock whose daughter, Alice, married Abraham Corey in 1731.

U.S. Government records show last claim by Braddock for Rev. War semiannual pension payments was made on 9/5/1838: in it he said he was a resident of Gouverneur and had been for the past 13 years and previous thereto had resided at Farifield (Herkimer Co) NY. There was no will or estate administration record of him in St. Lawrence Co. & no gravestone has been found.

An unusually informative biography of BRADDOCK is contained in the declaration & afidavit he made in 1832 & 1833 to procure a pension. He said he was born at Southold 7/1/1759 or 1760 (wasn't sure which), but also said he was in his 18th year at the Battle of Fort Montgomery. As that was in Oct. 1777, it is evident he was born in 1760.

He died 1838 probably in Gouverneur, St Lawrence Co

He married MARY WARD

2. DAVID B. DICKERSON was born 01 Nov 1782 in NY, and died 01 May 1847 in Adams Center NY.

He married HANNAH SHERWOOD, daughter of JEREMIAH SHERWOOD and ABIGAIL HALL. She was born 27 Mar 1784, and died 27 Oct 1848 in Jefferson Co. NY.

Notes for DAVID B. DICKERSON:
In 1813 there were only four or five houses at "Center Square" besides the taverns of Colonel Johnson and Mr. West. In that year Dr. DAVID DICKERSON came to the Square; as Dr. Alden had gone, he was the only one to minister to the ills of the settlers. With his wife, who arrived a little later, came her sister, Miss SOPHRONIA SHERWOOD, who became the wife of RODNEY SEYMOUR and lived a long time in the town. She died in Michigan.

In 1813, Dr. DAVID DICKERSON located himself at Centre Square, being the second physician in town, and the only one at that time. After selecting his home he sent for his wife, with whom came her sister, SOPHRONIA SHERWOOD, then a young woman, now the venerable widow of RODNEY SEYMOUR. At that time Mrs. SEYMOUR states there were only three or four houses at Centre Square, besides the taverns of Colonel Johnson and Mr. West, though there were numerous farms in a good state of cultivation up and down the river. The nearest store and the nearest grist-mill were then at Florence.

He had a son named Hannibal who was also a physician in the Town of Watertown NY. Hannibal died in 1845 at age 37.
