  "John J. Dickinson 1820-1880"
  "When Isaac Shelby a nd Andrew Jackson signed the Chickasaw
  Purchase in 1818, they opened up a wide fertile plain to white
  settlement.  During the next three decades, immigrants poured into
  that area from all the surrounding states.  Among them was John J .
  Dickinson, a lad of almost ten years, who was traveling with a rather
  large company of related families looking for greener pastures in the
  "Chickasaw La nds."
  "During that long and difficult winter journey from their
  former home n ear what is now Selma, Alabama, John J.'s father, Isaac
  Dickinson, developed p neumonia and died in late January or early
  February of 1830 in the approximate area of Shelby County, AL.
  According to word-of-mouth family stories, a nephe w, James Dickinson,
  took the body to be buried in Wayne Co., NC, where Isaac h ad been
  born, the son of David and Ann Hood Dickinson.  With embalming not
  co mmon practice then, we'll assume it was a very cold winter."
  "John J.'s mother , Martha Rogers Dickinson, with her eight
  children, ages 3 to 20, continued th eir journey with the rest of the
  group.  She bought land along the Big Hatchie , where she reared and
  educated her children and lived until her death in 1842 .  Of her
  eight children, only John J. remained permanently in Haywood County.
  Willliam and Nancy Elizabeth (m Foreman) died young. Sarah (m Wm.
  Daniel). R ufus Wylie, Edwin Leroy, Martha Ann (m D.C. Hall), and
  Eliza Jane (m J. Z. Bun n) all moved further west to Dallas County,
  Arkansas settling finally in the T ulip and Malvern communities."
