It is recorded that Nathaniel died in Hadley on June 16, 1676, and that his death was hastened by the loss of three of his sons in the Indian Wars and by his countless services to his country. His grave was not marked, perhaps to prevent its desecration by the Indians. In 1934 a great company of his descendants dedicated a boulder to his memory in the Hadley cemetery.

The dismemberment of a long and cherished family pedigree is never a pleasant task. Consolation often may be found, however, in the knowledge that an accurate, albeit shorter, pedigree has been discovered to replace what was lost. Such is the case with the English origins of Nathaniel Dickinson, an early settler of Wethersfield, Connecticut, and Hadley, Massachusetts.
Frederick Dickinson wrote in 1897 that Nathaniel Dickinson was born in Ely, Cambridgeshire, in 1600, the son of William Dickinson and his wife Sarah Stacey. Nathaniel was said to have married Anna, widow of William Gull, in January 1630 at East Bergholt, Suffolk. A line of descent from John Dykonson, a thirteenth-century freeholder of Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, to the immigrant Nathaniel Dickinson was provided. The Dickinsons were said to descend from Walter de Caen, later Walter de Kenson, a companion of The Conqueror. Wharton Dickinson, "the distinguished Dickinson genealogist of New York City," is given credit as the author of this pedigree.
Wharton Dickinson published a similar pedigree in 1901 in his Record of the Lambert-Dickinson Family, where the family history is further elucidated. Nathaniel supposedly joined the Cambridge Company in 1629 with his brothers John and Thomas and came to New England in 1630. He settled first at Watertown, removing to Wethersfield in 1635. It was also claimed that William Dickinson, Nathaniel's father, was born in Portsmouth in 1570, and that he was a barrister at law who received a B.A. in 1590 and an M.A. in 1595 from Cambridge University.
More recently, the Wharton Dickinson pedigree appeared in Descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson by Elinor V. Smith, published in 1978 by the Dickinson Family Association. In this work, a common descent is proposed for virtually- every colonial Dickinson family from Massachusetts to Virginia. In his review of the book, George E. McCracken considered the 14-generation descent of Nathaniel Dickinson "mostly rubbish," citing the lack of documentation and the family's "jumping about the Island of Britain with ease, with at least one impossible chronology, to wit, in the 6th generation a Thomas (1400-1475) is married in 1430 to the daughter of a standard bearer for Richard III!" McCracken conceded, however, that he would be willing to accept some of the later generations provided that acceptable documentation be furnished.
But the later generations of Wharton Dickinson's pedigree also have problems. In my own investigation of William Dickinson and his supposed son Nathaniel, four significant inconsistencies were identified. It is admitted that Nathaniel's wife was probably the widow Anna Gull. The will of Nathaniel Dickinson identifies a "son" (i.e., stepson), William Gull. But the cited marriage of Nathaniel Dickinson and Anna Gull in January 1630 at East Bergholt, Suffolk is not found in the parish registers of East Bergholt, which begin in 1653. And a search of bishop's transcripts found no transcript from the Archdeaconry of Suffolk prior to 1685.
The original settlers of Wethersfield were largely from Watertown, Massachusetts. Wharton Dickinson states that Nathaniel Dickinson came to New England in 1630 and settled first in Watertown before going to Wethersfield in 1635. However, the town records of Watertown mention nothing concerning Nathaniel Dickinson, and there is no record of the family in Wethersfield before 1638.
Wharton Dickinson tells us that John, eldest son of Nathaniel and Ann Dickinson, was born in 1630, "the first Dickinson born in America." However, the lands of John Dickinson of Wethersfield were recorded in 1650, when John could have been no more than nineteen or twenty years old, too young to have received land from the town. Moreover, John was married to Frances Foote about 1647/8, as John and Frances had a daughter Hannah born at Wethersfield on 6 December 1648. It seems highly likely that John was born well before 1630.
Besides this chronological improbability, an investigation of William Dickinson, the barrister of Ely, found no degrees bestowed upon him by Cambridge University, as alleged by Wharton Dickinson. Nor did he receive degrees from Oxford University. Clearly, the century-old Dickinson pedigree was at best the result of poor research at worst an outright fraud.
What was actually known or conjectured from New England sources is that Nathaniel Dickinson arrived in Wethersfield, Connecticut, no later than 1638. He was probably married to the widow Anna Gull in the mid-1620s, and they produced at least five children prior to their arrival in New England: John, Nathaniel, Joseph, Thomas, and Anna/Hannah. A family matching this exact description was found in the parish of Billingborough, Lincolnshire. The parish lies immediately south of Horbling, the home parish of Governor Simon Bradstreet, and the probable home of Anthony Colby, well-known immigrants of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
The parish registers of Billingborough are extant from 1561. Their legibility ranges from good to illegible. A peculiarity of the Billingborough registers, and many others in this part of Lincolnshire, is the dating format used during the period 1561-1598. Unlike most pre-1752 English parish registers, which date each year from Lady Day (25 March), the registers of Billingborough begin the year with Michaelmas (29 September). This method was employed until 1599, when Easter became the annual beginning date. Because of this system, the entries recorded between 1 January and 28 September during a specified year actually took place during the following year, according to the calendar. When, the registers were transcribed to parchment in 1598, it is apparent that the copyist became confused by the system. A comparison of entries in the parish registers with those in the bishop's transcripts and with probate records found many parish register entries advanced a full year; a few were backdated a year. During the transition to the new system in 1599, some entries were actually dropped, and can now be found only in the bishop's transcripts.
The bishop's transcripts of Billingborough are generally more legible than the parish registers. They also commence in 1561 and also begin each year with Michaelmas through 1598. However, there are significant gaps in the available transcripts, including 1563, 1564, 1566-1575, 1577-1584, 1593, 1629-1631, and 1637. The following Dickinson entries were transcribed from the parish registers of Billingborough Material in bold was supplied from the bishop's transcripts when the parish register entry is illegible, or in cases who where the transcripts contain varying, additional, or new information.
Among the entries found was the marriage of Nathaniel Dickinson to Ann Gull, and the baptisms of all five of their children born prior to the family's arrival in New England. The eldest son, John, was baptized in 1624, a date much easier to accept for one married by 1648. Moreover, the Dickinson family was obviously still in England as late as 1636, proving, that they did not come to New England with Winthrop in 1630. Obviously, they arrived sometime between 1636 and 1638. As will be shown below, William Gull, Nathaniel Dickinson's stepson, was also baptized at Billingborough. Two additional generations of the Dickinson family and two for the Gull family are evident in the parish of Billingborough. The Gull family also has a Dickinson descent.

DICKINSON FAMILY

1. ____DICKINSON, perhaps the Gabriel Dickinson who was buried at Billingborough 7 February 1569/70, was the father of at least the following three sons:
Children (probably others):
(2) i. WATERS DICKINSON, b. say 1530; m. ALICE_____. Ancestors of New
England immigrant Nathaniel Dickinson.
ii. HENRY DICKINSON, identified in the wills of his brothers Waters and
Thomas. No further record.
iii. THOMAS DICKINSON., b say 1547; m. ANNIS TINGLE. He is mentioned in the will of his brother Waters. Thomas is the ancestor of New England
immigrant William Gull. See "Gull Family," below.

2. WATERS DICKINSON, of Billingborough, Lincolnshire, was born say 1530. He was buried at Billingborough on 9 April 1591. Waters married ALICE___, who is mentioned in his will. She was buried on 4 September 1596. Evidence that she is the mother of Waters's children is found in the will of Edward Dickinson, probably the eldest son, who refers to her as his mother. The will of Waters Dickinson shows that he was a yeoman engaged in husbandry. He apparently had the means to educate his sons, for his son William signed the Billingborough bishop's transcript of 1596/7 as a churchwarden with a firm, well-formed signature. Waters Dickinson of Billingborough yeoman executed his will on 30 December 1590, and it was proved on 20 April 1591.

Children of Waters and Alice(_) Dickinson:
i. EDWARD DICKINSON, probably the eldest son, considering the projected date of his marriage, was born say 1555. He was buried at Billing-borough 20 Jan. 1593/4. Edward had a wife Alice ____, who was buried on 19 May 1592. The nuncupative will of Edward Dickinson at Billingborough, yeoman, was made on 8 Jan. I593/4 and proved 5 Feb. 1593/4. Bequests were made to his mother Alice and to children Richard, Robert, Thomas, and Elizabeth. His brothers William and John witnessed the instrument. Billingborough parish registers include the baptisms of three of the four children mentioned in the will: Elizabeth (bp. 2 Sept. 1581), Robert (bp. Aug. 1586), and Thomas (bp. 4 Jan. 1589/90)
ii. WILLIAM DICKlNSON, born say 1560, just prior to the inception of the Billingborough parish register; d. after 1613/4 when he signed the parish register as churchwarden. William was churchwarden also from 1595 through 1599. No wife has been discovered for William, but he had the following children recorded in Billingborough: Thomas (bur. 20 July 1592), Anne (bp. 30 Jan. 1594/95),
John (bp. 14 Dec. 1595), William (bp. 23 Oct. 1602; bur 6 Aug. 1603), Samuel (bp. 21 Dec. 1606). His Signature as churchwarden in 1596/7 bears the mark of an educated man.
(4) iii. JOHN DICKINSON, bp. at Billingborough 4 Dec. 1564; m. Elizabeth___.

3. THOMAS DICKINSON was born say 1547. He was buried at Billingborough on 8 October 1579. Thomas married at Billingborough, 1 September 1572, ANNIS/AGNES TINGLE, whose parents have not been learned. She married, second, 26 October 1581, John More. The will of Thomas Dickinson, laborer, of Billingborough, dated 18 December 1578, proved 13 October 1579.

Children of Thomas and Annis/Agnes (Tingle) Dickinson:
i. ELlZABETH DICKINSON, bp. at Billingborough, 7 Aug. 1573; m. WILLIAM GULL. See Gull Family," below
ii. ROBERT DICKINSON, bp. at Billingborough, 4 June 1575. No further record.
iii. MARIE DICKINSON, bp. at Billingborough, 6 March 1579/80, posthumous, "daughter of Annes Dickinson." No further record.

4. JOHN DICKINSON (Waters) was baptized at Billingborough 4 December 1564. He was buried there on 19 April 1637 as John Dickinson, yeoman. He married ELIZABETH _____, who was buried at Billingborough 30 August 1609. John was churchwarden in 1626/21. No will or estate records have been found for him.

Children of John and Elizabeth (___) Dickinson:
i. JOHN DICKINSON, bp. at Billingborough, 17 March 1598/99. No further record.
(5) ii. NATHANIEL DICKINSON, bp at Billingborough, 3 May 1601; m. ANN (__) GULL, widow of John Gull. See "Gull Family" below.
iii. JOSEPH DICKINSON bp at Billingborough, 7 Sept 1606 No further record
iv. ELIZABETH DICKINSON, bur. at Billingborough, 5 May 1610.

5. NATHANIEL DICKINSON (John, Waters) was baptized at Billingborough on 3 May 1601 and died at Hadley, Massachusetts, on 16 June 1676. He married at Billingborough, 27 November 1623, ANN (___) GULL, widow of John Gull. Her parentage and death date are unknown, but she was living in Hadley, Massachusetts, as late as 24 March 1670/1, when Nathaniel and Ann Dickinson sold property in Hadley to William Marcum. Ann had a son, William Gull, who accompanied the family to New England. See "Gull Family," below.
Little is known of Nathaniel's activities in England. He was no doubt educated, singing the Billingborough bishop's transcript of 1633/4 with a firm hand. He was accordingly appointed town clerk both in Wethersfield and Hadley. A facsimile of an original letter of Nathaniel Dickinson, written in 1666, is reproduced in Henry R. Stiles, History of Ancient Wethersfield, 2 vols. (New York, 1904), 2:284 (facing page).
Nathaniel arrived in Wethersfield, Connecticut between 26 June 1636, when his daughter Ann was baptized at Billingborough, and July 1638, when his son Samuel was born at Wethersfield. It is difficult to say what influences led Nathaniel to emigrate. Perhaps he heard the Puritan doctrines from Rev. Simon Bradstreet, vicar of Horbling from 1596 to 1621. Rev. Bradstreet's son Simon went to Massachusetts in 1630 and rose to prominence in the government of the Bay Colony. Twelve miles to the east of Horbling and Billingborough, Rev. John Cotton expounded his Puritan views from the pulpit at Boston until he fled to New England in 1633. Nathaniel apparently spent little if any time in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and he was not among the Watertown contingent that settled Wethersfield in 1635.
Nathaniel held many positions of trust in the Communities of Wethersfield and Hadley. He served on the jury of the Particular Court in 1642. After several years as de facto town clerk of Wethersfield, he was officially appointed to the office in 1645. He held this position until 1659, when he removed to Hadley, Massachusetts. Nathaniel Dickinson served as deputy to the Connecticut General Court from 1646 to 1659. He was elected selectman of Wethersfield in 1646. His homestall consisted of a house, barn, and three acres of land in March 1649. In May 1653 he was a member of the committee to direct a contemplated expedition against the Dutch, and in October 1654 Nathaniel was one of the commissioners appointed to consult with the constables of the various Connecticut towns about "pressing men for the expedition into the Ninigret country." He was also active in church affairs, being a deacon of the Wethersfield church.
When dissension arose in the congregations at Wethersfield, Hartford, and Windsor, Nathaniel Dickinson and his son John were active in the organization of a new settlement under the leadership of Rev. John Russell. Nathaniel was one of the 59 men who signed the agreement to settle Hadley, Massachusetts, on 18 April 1659. He was selected to survey the original 59 home lots of eight acres each. In Hadley Nathaniel was again chosen town clerk in 1660. He took the freeman's oath on 26 March 1661, and the same year was a member of the committee to erect a meetinghouse.
Soon after the establishment of Hadley, settlers began taking up land on the west side of the Connecticut River. On 21 January 1660/1 Nathaniel was a member of the committee appointed to lay out home lots on the west bank. Twenty-eight lots were surveyed for the original proprietors, among whom were sons Nathaniel, Samuel, and Obadiah and stepson William Gull. These four were also among the petitioners for a separate township in 1667. The town of Hatfield was established in 1669. In his later years, Nathaniel, Sr., settled briefly in Hatfield but returned to Hadley shortly before his death.
Nathaniel was an original member of the Hampshire Troop, organized in March 1663/4 under Capt. John Pynchon. During King Philip's War, 1675-77, Nathaniel lost three sons - John, Joseph, and Azariah. Another son, Obadiah, was captured by the Indians and taken into Canada but escaped and returned in 1679. Nathaniel served as selectman, assessor, and school trustee at times and was a deacon in the Hadley church.
Nathaniel Dickinson died in Hadley on 16 June 1676. He wrote his will on 29 May 1676, ten days after his son John was killed in the Turner's Falls battle. The will was proved the following 26 September, and an inventory or his estate, totaling £502 2s 6d, was taken on 22 December 1676.

GULL FAMILY

William Gull came to New England with his stepfather, Nathaniel Dickinson, about 1637. He settled in Hatfield, Massachusetts, where he married and raised a family of four daughters.
The immigrant William Gull is almost certainly the son of John Gull, baptized 25 February 1620/1. John was buried on 8 July 1621 and it was apparently his widow, Ann Gull, who married Nathaniel Dickinson on 27 November 1623. As shown in the summary below, William Gull was a cousin of his stepfather, Nathaniel Dickinson.

1. WILLIAM GULL, laborer of Billingborough, was born say 1562; he was buried there on 8 May 1639. He was perhaps the son of William Gull, who was buried on 27 December 1612, and his wife Katherine, who was buried on 27 December 1590. He married at Billingborough, 2 August 1597, ELIZABETH DICKINSON, who was baptized there on 7 August 1573, daughter of Thomas and Annis (Tingle) Dickinson (see Dickinson Family," above). Elizabeth was buried on 26 August 1616. A William Gull married Joan Silverwood on I May 1618. The timing suggests this was a second marriage of William Gull, but it is also possible that the marriage is that of his son William.

i. WILLIAM GULL, bp. 5 March 1597/8. He is perhaps the William Gull who
married JOAN SILVERWOOD, 1 May 1618, but this is not certain, as this may have been the second marriage of his father.

iii. ALICE GULL, bp. 21 Dec. 1600, "daughter of William Gull the younger." She m. at Billingborough, 6 Nov. 1627, WILLIAM ATTON, laborer. He was bur. 5 Jan. 1627/8, and Alice m. (2) at Billingborough, 14 Oct. 1628/9, WILLIAM WRIGHT.

xi. SYMON GULL, bp. 23 Feb. 1614/5; m. at Billingborough, 17 Feb. 1640/1, GRACE WRIGHT.

2. JOHN GULL (William) was baptized at Billingborough, 26 August 1599 and was buried there on 8 July 1621 as John Gull, laborer. He married about 1620, ANN _____, who married, second, at Billingborough on 23 November 1623, Nathaniel Dickinson (see "Dickinson Family," above).
Child of John and Ann (___) Gull:
(3) i. WILLIAM GULL, bp. at Billingborough 25 Feb. 1620/1; m. ELIZABETH (SMITH) FOOTE.

3. WILLIAM GULL (John, William) was baptized at Billingborough on 25 February 1620/1. He died at Hatfield, Massachusetts, between 12 April and 18 December 1701, the dates of the execution and probate of his will. William married, perhaps about 1656, ELIZABETH (SMITH) FOOTE, widow of Nathaniel Foote, who died in 1655, and daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Smith) Smith of Wethersfield and Hadley. Elizabeth died after 5 January 1701/2, when she swore to the inventory of William Gull's estate.
William Gull is first noticed in Wethersfield town records in 1648, when he was hired with three others to keep the town herd. He apparently purchased land from William Cross, which he sold to Richard Montague before 22 March 1650[/1?], when the latter's lands were recorded in the town books. His own lands, consisting of five parcels, including a home lot with house and barn, were not recorded until 15 June 1669, all of which had by then been released to John Belding. William was probably in Hatfield when the lands were recorded under Belding's direction.

It is not clear exactly when William went to Hatfield. As shown above, William Gull had a home lot laid out at Hatfield in 1660/1 and was one of the petitioners for a township there in 1667. But if William went to Hadley with his stepfather in 1659., he must have soon returned because he was appointed Hayward at Wethersfield in 1660 and was constable there in 1662. He is mentioned as taking up a stray horse at Wethersfield on 12 November 1663. These records suggest that he left Hatfield (then part of Hadley) and did not return until about 1664/5. The birth of his daughter Esther was recorded at Hadley on 21 November 1665.
The will of William Gull of Hatfield was written on 12 April 1701 and proved the following 18 December.
The estate of William Gull, valued at £263-11-0, was inventoried on 25
December 1701. The widow Elizabeth Gull made oath to the inventory on 5
January 1701/2.

THIS IS AN ARTICLE FROM THE ELIZABETH DAILY JOURNAL, 19??
TITLED - NAVAL TRADITION MARKS FAMILIES
____________________________________________________________________
Capt. S. E. Dickinson, of Annapolis, Once Lived Here---Son in Service, Husband of Former Eleanor Hoge.
____________________________________________________________________

(This is one of the series of articles concerning distinguished officers of the U. S. Navy hailing from Elizabeth.)

A naval officer connected with the present war who formerly resided in Elizabeth is Capt. Spencer E. Dickinson, now stationed at Annapolis. Although he and his family stayed here for only three years, they were in Elizabeth long enough to form a lasting tie here through the marriage of their son, Lt. Dwight Dickinson, III, now on sea duty in the Pacific with the pay and supply corps of the Navy. Lieutenant Dickinson's marriage to the former Miss Eleanor Hoge not only united him with an Elizabeth family of long standing, but also created an additional bond, between two families, both of which were steeped naval tradition.

Lieutenant Dickinson's wife, although not herself the daughter of naval parents, had nevertheless a thorough knowledge of the profession. Her mother's father, the late Capt. Frank Anderson, had been a doctor in the Naval Medical Corps. She discovered also that one of Captain Anderson's good friends had been Lieutenant Dickinson's grandfather, Capt. Dwight Dickinson, another naval doctor. In fact the two men had been so closely associated that there was an arrangement between them to look after each other's families during their respective absences on long sea voyages.

Captain Anderson, who was graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, could not afford to follow in his father's footsteps as a Staten Island family doctor. The late Dr. William Astley Cooper Anderson, became so "land poor" through being presented with real estate instead of cold cash by his patients, that it was necessary for Dr. Frank Anderson join to the Navy and thus assure himself of regular income.

LONG TIME IN YOKOHOMA.

Dr. Anderson's son's career in the Navy took him to many foreign lands, and the family lived for a considerable time in Yokohoma, where Captain Anderson was in charge of the U. S. Naval Hospital. Here the family saw a great deal of Mrs. Hoge's paternal grandfather, Lt. Commander William George Coffin, a naval officer with a distinguished Civil War record, who settled down in Yokohoma to be near his transient relatives for a while.

Lieutenant Commander Coffin had been active in the Fort Fisher Civil War campaign off North Carolina, when he was in command of the "U. S. S. Alert." He was later in command of an expedition to the Arctic to rescue Gen. Adolphus Greely and members of the latter's exploring party. These men were located and brought safely back to the home on the three Navy ships in charge of Commander Coffin.

Commander Coffin was a roommate at Annapolis of Captain "Fighting Bob Evans," of Spanish American War fame, and Admiral George Dewey was also in the same class, Before his retirement, Commander Coffin had sailed his ship to the "U. S. S. Charleston" into Manila harbor and had sent Dewey information about those waters which later proved valuable in the Manila Bay campaign. Mrs Hoge remembers Dewey and other distinguished naval officers such as Gridley, stopping off in Yokohoma on their way home from the Philippines to see her Grandfather Coffin and his naval son-in-law.

Mrs. Hoge also remembers herself as a small child of 3 experiencing the excitement of christening a ship, the Lighthouse tender "Azalea." Her Grandfather Coffin was at one time head of the Lighthouse service on the Eastern seaboard, then under the jurisdiction of the navy, and subsequently taken over by the Treasury Department.

FREQUENTLY VISITED ELIZABETH.
Mrs. Hoge's mother, the late Mrs. Frank Anderson, frequently visited in Elizabeth as did her other daughter, Mrs. Rush S. Fay. Mrs. Fay carried on the family tradition by marrying into the Navy and her husband, the late Lieutenant Commander Fay, was active in the first World War as navigator of a battleship and later as commander of a submarine. His son Francis Anderson Fay who spent a winter here with the Hoge family a few years ago, joined the Navy after the outbreak of the present war.

Although Mrs. Hoge broke the family pattern by marrying into the Standard Oil interests instead of the navy, she nevertheless has kept the family name in the limelight. She is active in literary and artistic circles here, and was awarded the 1932 award given by the National Association of American Penwomen for her one-act play entitled "Illusions." She has frequently designed scenery and properties for Elizabeth dramatic events and some marionettes which she once made for a puppet show here were placed on exhibition at the Newark Museum.

Notes for LEATITIA SHELBY DICKINSON:
Known as Letty.

A letter from Laeticia indicates that she has in her posession several items from her ancestors. Some of the items are:
Her grandfather's, Governor Beriah Magoffin,Governor's Trio covered hat in its old box and a beautifully decorated large coin silver coffee pot and sugar bowl from his silver service as Governor, and gold earrings and a gold watch that belonged to his wife, a finely framed portraite copy of his oil portrait, and daguerreotypes of him and his wife.

She has a brass copy of a Congressional medal of honor, struck April 4, 1818 from Governor Isaac Shelby, for winning the Battle of the Thames in Canada in Oct., 1813 agianst the England. She also has some cloth made from cotton and woven on his plantation at Traveler's Rest in Harrodsburg, and a later photograph of of Clay Hill in Harrodsburgh, KY, home of Gov. Beriah Magoffin's parents, which may still be standing.

LeJeune consisted of one Brigade or 2 Regt.s of marines and one Brigade of Army troops. He goes on saying, because it is an instance of the very different way some things were done in the First World War. It also explains how his father, as a Navy doctor could have served in the trenches with an Army division. The Marines are part of the Navy and consequently have naval medical personnel and still do.
