John Dickerson

 

Dickerson-also spelled Dickason, Dickieson, Dickinson, Dickison, and Dickson.

 

Charles County is in south central Maryland and was created in 1658. The first settlers were mainly English tobacco planters, their indentured servants and enslaved people. Many of of the settlers were Roman Catholic. The county, as originally laid out, also included parts of present day Calvert, Prince George's and St. Mary's Counties.

John Dickerson was born about 1685 in Prince George's County, Maryland. He was the son of Thomas Dickerson.

He married Frances Clarvo.

When his father died in 1726, he inherited Dickison's Delight.

John died in 1744 in Prince George's County, Maryland.
