Looking for information on the father of David Dickerson. He would have been the right age for service in the Revolutionary War, but alas, I do not know his name. I have the name of the son, David Dickerson, his spouse and family.
Rumor has it that these Dickerson's are related to Philemon Dickerson, but I have been unable myself to piece it together. As you will see, the names in this family are repeated in the family of Philemon, and related in same area.

David Dickerson B Aug 13, 1783 Morristown, Morris Co., NJ
d Jul 22, 1822

Wife: Rachel Rourk b April 22, 1784 Rochester, NY

Children:
Abner Dickerson b Oct 18, 1802 Newark, Essex Co, NJ D Nov 25, 1864

Julia Caroline Dickerson b Jun 10, 1804 Newark, Essex Co, Nj D Feb 27, 1838 married George Condit Newark, NJ

Phebe Brower Dickerson b Aug 28, 1805 Newark married William M. Shipman in Newark

Harriet M. Dickerson b Aug 2, 1812 Newark married Joseph Little Newark NJ

Mahlon A. Dickerson b Feb 2, 1815 Newark NJ D May 18, 1876 Freedom, LaSalle County, Illinois, married Betsy Thompson, Fayetteville, Onondaga, NY 1856, and married Maria Hannah Brownell 1837 in Memphis, Macomb Co, Michigan.

I believe there are probably more children I don't know of for this family.

I believe all sides of my family are DAR worthy, many war hereo's on all sides.

I hope you can help me in this search. Thank you so much, Shirley
