    Notes:

    Name:
    Nehemiah Dickinson was a cornet in the Hampshire Troop, 1685; called lieutenant 1720. "If you go into the southwest corner of the Old Hadley burying-ground, you will see there a brown headstone. It is overgrown with lichens, but a careful scrutiny will reveal the name of Lieutenant Nehemiah Dickinson, another son of Nathaniel and a twin brother of Nathaniel, Jr. He reared fourteen children and died at the age of 80, and his blood today, mingled with that of other Puritan stock flows in the veins of some of the most worthy citizens of our land" (Reunion of the Dickinson family, 1883).

    "Nehemiah Dickinson was a son of Nathaniel and Ann (Gull) Dickinson. Nathaniel Dickinson died in Hadley, Mass., June 16, 1676. He was the old town clerk of Wethersfield, Conn., and was with most of his sons living in Hadley, Mass., at the time of King Philip's War. Of his sons born and brought up in Wethersfield, Obadiah had his house burnt by the savages, and he and a child of his were carried captive to Canada. Returning thence he soon after removed to his old home in Wethersfield. Joseph was killed in the fight at Squakheag (Northfield), Sept. 5, 1675. He was then living at Northfield. Nehemiah was in the Falls (Turner's) fight, May 19, 1676. John was one of the Sergeants in the Falls fight, where he was killed. Azariah, the youngest son, was killed in the fight near Hadley, Aug. 25, 1675. The people of Wethersfield should remember with pride the part taken in the war of 1675-77 by this family, many of whose descendants are in that township and Rocky Hill at this day." (Memorial History of Hartford County, Conn., by Trumbull and Soldiers in King Philip's War, by Bodge, 1896.) Nathaniel Dickinson, father of Nehemiah, was fourteenth in descent from Walter de Caen, later Walter de Kenson (taking the name of his manor in Yorkshire), died 1316. There is a Dickinson coat of arms (see Descendants of Thomas Dickinson of Wethersfield, Conn., 1897). Nathaniel Dickinson, Wethersfield, 1637, town clerk 1645; representative 1646-56; removed to Hadley Mass., 1659; freeman 1661, chosen deacon, and first recorder, resided for a few years in Hatfield, Mass., but died in Hadley, June 16, 1676.
