Biography

Phebe Dickinson was baptised on 11 Sep 1737, the daughter of Samuel Dickinson and Sarah Bailey.^[1]. She never married. Her will dated 2 Feb. 1815^[2] named her nephew Paul Pillsbury as executor, and included gifts for niece and nephew Sally and Paul Pillsbury (children of her sister Sarah) and for grand-nieces Rebecca (Adams) Brocklebank and Rapsima Adams, grandchildren of her sister Jane. Paul Pillsbury was the sole beneficiary of all her real estate, a significant portion of which she herself had inherited from her brother Oliver in 1814.

Her will was proved 6 Aug. 1816, so she died before that time.^[3]
