Biography

Gilbert Dickinson was born in Dutchess County, New York about 1752. He probably died after 1787, the date his claim for damages as a loyalist was refused. Gilbert appears to arrive as a single person. He could have married in New Brunswick but no record has been found. Gilbert was a loyalist as were all his brothers. David G. Bell in his Early Loyalist of Saint John shows that Samuel Dickinson & his brother Gilbert Dickinson came to Saint John in October of 1783 on the ship called the Mercury. His place in the family is proven by his claim for indemnity, which his brother Samuel had submitted to the British government for losses during the Revolutionary War. On December 24, 1784 Gilbert Dickinson joined his brother Samuel, and Samuel's wife in signing a deed when Samuel sold land in Saint John, N.B. On October 14, 1785 Gilbert was awarded Lot#1 in Grant #8, containing 200 acres, adjoining Caton's Grant in Kings County, N.B.
