Notes:

Mrs. Dickson was left a widow then Thomas was about five. She proved to be a wise mother, and a shrewd business woman. She added to the family lands by buying an adjacent farm where the freater part of her widowed years were spent with her family, who surely "rose up to call her blessed". Her boys responded to her wise training and were a credit to her. Grandfather Heenan's memory of her - "she was real handsome".
