Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Character of John Dickinson The name of Dickinson, while not a very common one, has been well known in various parts of the country for several generations. There are in this country two general branches of the family, one of which is found to have first appeared in the New England States and the members of which were Presbyterians, and the other immigrated to the Middle and Southern States. Those who bear the name in the Middle and Southern States are descended from Charles Dickinson, who died in London in 1653, leaving three sons, all of whom were Quakers. In 1654 these sons emigrated to Virginia to escape imprisonment at home as Non-conformists. There is a legendary account of the renown achieved by the English ancestors of the family as soldiers, but of this there appears to be no authentic record. It is important perhaps for us to know, however, that this family belonged to that middle class of English society which, we may safely say, has had more to do with shaping the destinies of England in modern times than any other.
