Archibald Bennett's book contains the original Dickinson genealogy, naming Samuel Dickinson's four children by his first wife, Huldah Griffith, and the rest by Lydia. Please note there is no "Arthur," and other names seen on genealogies in recent years. Also, Huldah's family name should be "Griffith." Only her brother Aaron and his descendants use "Griffin."
