Biography

Ben was born in Onslow in 1805. He was the son of Robert Dickson and Lavinia De Wolf.[1]

He was a lawyer, and was recommended by his father to be one of the administrators assigned to handle the estate of his oldest brother Charles.[2]

He married Catherine Muirhead at St. Paul's Church in Halifax. Their marriage bond was signed on 1 August 1832.[3] They had three sons:

  1. David George, b. 12 Jan 1835[4]
  2. Robert, b. 23 Sep 1837
  3. Lucius, b. 3 July 1839[5]

He was enumerated in his widowed brother's home in Mill Village, Cumberland County, in the 1871 census of Canada.[6]

Record of his death has not yet been found, though he is supposed to have died at Parrsboro.
