23. ADAM3 (6) DICKEY (Samuel2, William1) was born in Londonderry April 11, 1740. He possessed considerable literary taste, and although deprived of any advantages of schooling, he obtained by reading and observation an education much superior to that of ordinary young men of his time. Part of his early life was devoted to teaching in the public schools, and his qualification is attested by certificates still to be found given by authorities in the then province of Maine. Aside from his scholarly attainments, he was genial and social in his nature, and made many warm friends within the circle of his acquaintance. He married, Dec 26, 1765, Jane Nahor of Litchfield, NH. She is spoken of by a great granddaughter, now living (1890), as a lady of much refinement, greatly esteemed for her elevated Christian character and personal charms. In conversation she appears to have been a worthy mate to her estimable husband.
They settled on that part of his father’s farm now occupied by the heirs of the late Joseph Dickey in Londonderry, but in 1771 removed to Bedford, NH, a town settled largely by former citizens of Londonderry, where he was evidently held in respect by his fellow citizens. He served seven years as one of the Selectmen, and was elected to the office of town clerk, but declined the honor.
In 1797 or 1798 they removed to Corinth, VT, where they resided until about 1808, when they returned to Bedford. During their stay in Vermont his finances had become somewhat diminished, and they lived subsequently at the home of their daughter, Mrs Patten, where Mrs Dickey died June 13, 1815.
At this time, being 75 years of age, he seems to have relinquished active labor. His diary, now in existence, shows that during the next years and a half, mounted on his faithful horse, he made a friendly call on most of his known relatives in New England. The record shows that his travels extended as far east as Belfast, Maine, to Centre Harbor, NH, and Corinth, VT. His wining manners and entertaining conversation secured for his a kind reception everywhere.
Feb 6, 1817, after his return to Bedford, he went to the house of his nephew, Capt Joseph Dickey, in Londonderry, where he became ill, and was kindly cared for until his death, June 17th of the same year.
