- ↑ While the descendancy of James Dickson is fairly well documented, a puzzle comes in determination of his siblings and his ancestry. Perhaps the most credible data was compiled by Dennis Simpson, a descendant through James' daughter Margaret, who married John Simpson. In his book “Simpson and Allied Familes”, published in 1985, Dennis told that William Dickson was born about 1740 in Goochland County, Virginia, and died by 1828 in Nelson County, Virginia. William's wife Lucretia Nash was born about 1745 in Amherst County, Virginia. She died about 1828 in Nelson County. She was a daughter of Enoch Nash and Susanna Burrass. Besides James, the children of Lucretia Nash and William Dickson included Enoch, John, William, and Margaret Dickson. Enoch was born about 1773 in Virginia and died around 1841 in Rutherford County, Tennessee. In 1801 (Virginia) he married Juriah Wood. She was a daughter of James Wood and Ann Philpott, as was James' wife Keziah Wood. John Dickson was born about 1775 in Virginia and died there before 1870. In 1809 he married Nancy Wood, daughter of James Wood and Nancy Lipscomb.
