General Notes: Husband - Joseph Dickinson

---

He emigrated to America from Cumberland, England, by way of Ireland, about the year 1725. The ship on which he came as a passenger, struck a rock, causing it to leak so rapidly that it was impossible to keep the vessel afloat, and was about given up as lost, and the passengers were preparing to meet their fate, when Joseph Dickinson volunteered to go down under the water, on the outside of the ship, and stop the leak, which hazardous undertaking he accomplished by inserting pieces of dried beef in the crevices.
He was married in 1732, and removed and settled near the Pequea creek, in Salisbury township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
He was a man well educated, and was a member of the denomination of Friends. [BHLC, 160]

He had two sons and seven daughters.
