The Dickinson family has been extreemly hard to search . Ray and Dorothy Kratzer spent considerable time in the Canterbury, York Co. New Brunswick area , we visited several cemeterys (8 in one day) We found cousins, and other Dickinsons. We found that the area had very few people in the area for many years and that the families intermarried, Dickinson and Dow families, so the 1st thing I did was to check our family line for that and did not find any at this time.
Roberta Florence (Hughes- Root) McBurney and Dorothy Adella (Hughes- Cogdill - Waterhouse ) Kratzer spent a full day in the Frederickton, New Brunswick, Canada Archives looking for this line of the family. It may be we found it, however proof is lacking. The family is evident, however the line is vague.

Whitney Family-"Micah Whitney, the first to come was John Whitney who settled in Watertown, mass in 1635. ( says of Flemish origin). All , or nearly all, of the Whitneys in Maine were descendants of the Massachusetts immigrant, and he was the progenitor of a numerous family. No less than ten families settled in Phillips, Maine, and in the towns near between 1792 and 1815. Most of these families did not think they were related. It is now known that they were all descendants of the Massachusetts immigrant. Jacob Whitney, a Revolutionary sioldier, was the first town clerk of Phillips when the town was organized in 1812. He was living in Phillips as early as 1793, and his son Christopher must have been about the first white child in Phillips. In the census of 1790, the first census taken in the United States, there were no families living in Phillips, but fourteen families were living in Avon, an adjoining town. In 1791 seven mem came to Phillips and made clearings and built log homes. Sherman S. Whitney, a merchant in Phillips (1943), is a great-grandson of the above mentioned Jacob Whitney.
