David Dickson Mouswald

[heathers]

Jacob Dickson (son of David) married Jean / Jane Bell on 6 Jun 1786 at Holme Cultram.  Jane died at Torpenhow in Oct 1787.
They had a son John, bp at Blenerhasset, CUL,  on 21 Oct 1787.  (3 days before his mother was buried)
Jacob then married Mary Elliott at Torpenhow on 17 Nov 1788,  and they had James 1790; Jacob 1792, Robert 1794, David 1796, Joseph 1799 & William 1802;  all bp Aspatria.  By this time the name was Dixon
Jacob was a Miller and died at Wythop, CUL in 1835.

The only way we were able to connect Jacob to the Mouswald family, was by a potential entry on the IGI, which led to a visit to Dumfries RO.  The entry gave no confirmation that it was the correct Jacob;  but an entry 30years later about John son of Jacob  and the places and wife mentioned did confirm the theory.

We also wondered about the relationship between Jacob Dickson (the clergyman) and 'our Dickson/ Dixon' family.  The entry relating to John, son of Jacob was the only one of its kind which made us wonder if it was because he was related.

The name Jacob carried on through different branches of the family,  but David did not.

Is there any clue as to the occupation of David Dixon, or any of his other offspring ?

Does anyone have any information about their son William - bp in 1757. Did he stay in Scotland or did he (as we suspect) move to Cumberland. ?

Re: Jacob Dickson and Nicholas Templeton

There are possibly 3 more children, James born 20 Jan 1855 Mouswald, another David in 1857 who died 1 Dec 1857 in Lockerbie and George born 1859 and died 20 May 1862 Dumfries.

Jacob was the son of David Dickson (1768-1829) and Janet Beattie (1779-1876), David in turn was the son of John Jacob Dickson (c1734-1798) and Jean Johnston (c1738-1777). In turn, John Jacob was the son of John Dickson (c1703-1760) and Mary Kent (c1702-1755). John was the son of Robert Dickson (c1663-1726).

Jacob was an apprentice to John Fell, Joiner, at Woodside in the 1841 census.  My 2G Grandfather, also named Jacob, was born in 1823 as well and lived at Woodside in 1841, where my family were blacksmiths. John fell was married to an aunt of my Jacob.

I haven't worked out where the Abraham Dickson mentioned comes from yet as I have no info on a marriage.
