    SAMUEL DICKINSON, third son and fourth child of the Rev. Moses Dickinson (Yale 1717), was born in Norwalk, Connecticut, October 23, 1728.

    He studied medicine, and settled in practice in Danbury, in his native county. He was also in public life, as a Representative in the General Assembly in five sessions from 1763 to 1766; and in May, 1767, he was appointed by the Assembly County Surveyor of Lands for Fairfield County.

    He died in the early part of the year 1769, administration on his slender estate (valued at only $550) being granted on July 6 to his widow Rebecca. His only surviving child was a daughter.
