1870 US Census[6] Puzzle: Mary E age doesn't change from 1860 to 1870 census. Since she married Thomas about 1857, her birth year of c.1830 is the more plausible and supported by other sources.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Thomas:

(Robin, just duplicating this here for the record.) I'm sorting out all the duplicate husbands of Abigail Witt. One was born in England and I rejected some matches based on that, but now I think the best is adding sources to all of them, correct the info, and then merge them. Even if there was a Thomas Dickerson-3332 born in England, it had no sources and has never been edited, so best to just get rid of it. Looks like person who created them has abandoned them, also. Let me know if anything looks wrong to you as I work on them.

Holly,

We cannot delete or get rid of profiles, they need to be merged using the "correct information" I just finished correcting the information that was wrong, the conflation on Abigail Witt and Margaret Dickerson. I think these merges are all good now.

Thanks Robin. All looks good to me, too. I’ll add sources and improve bios as I can. Lots of work to do on Burgess Witt line (Abigail’s father).

Dickinson-7611 and Dickinson-3892 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate--same birth, death, locations. First wife was Abigail Witt, 2nd wife was Mary Dillard.
