Hello,
I am trying to find ANY information about the PARENTS or SIBLINGS of my
paternal 2nd great grandmother, Rebecca Jane DICKERSON/DICKSON, born: abt.
1827 in ?, possibly Mississippi or ??/maybe Alabama or ?? She died in abt.
1893/94. She is buried in the Goodwill Cemetery near Magee in Simpson
County, Mississippi.
She is called "Granny Jane" in the HERRINGTON/HARRINGTON family information
and while since much of the time as DICKSON her children generally recorded
the name as DICKERSON.
For some strange reason I have just been unable to unearth ANYTHING about the
parents of Rebecca Jane DICKSON/DICKERSON and I would be so very grateful for
any shred of information about them or her brothers and/or sisters or
precisely where she was born.....ANYTHING.
(I am sending this information to the various lists because of the surnames
that her descendants, mentioned in the family tree below, married into.)
Rebecca Jane DICKERSON/DICKSON was the 1st wife of Isom/Isham Daniel
HERRINGTON/HARRINGTON, born: Dec 1828 in Covington or Lawrence County,
Mississippi. His 2nd wife was Sarah E. COLEMAN.
Rebecca and Sarah's husband, my 2nd great grandfather, Isom/Isham Daniel
HERRINGTON, was buried in a cemetery called the HUSBANDS' CEMETERY. I
wondered for a long time what the significance of the name was and just last
week found out that his 2nd wife, Sarah E. COLEMAN, was descended from the
HUSBANDS surname family.
