Research Notes: Dick & Butcher Families, Part 4

***Note: I followed the trail of David Dick and his wife, Emily Spurlock, of Wayne County for quite a while before I found a record proving that David was NOT the son of Joseph Dick and Eleanor Butcher. It turns out that David Dick’s parents were actually David Dick and Nancy Dickson or Dixon. I do believe that it is very likely that David Dick was a relative of my Dick ancestors (maybe Joseph Dick and David Dick Sr. were brothers???), but have not yet been able to prove it. So I have not entirely discarded my research on this family – just set it aside in hopes of making the connection in the future. (As I am posting my research notes in the order that I came across the records, the record that gave the names of David Dick’s parents is not shown in this post, but will be listed in one of my later posts).

Mud River Baptist Church

“This is the oldest church in the Guyandotte Association of Baptist Churches. The typical church on the frontier began in homes. Later a log structure was built with crude benches for the congregation. This one room structure with stone chimney was used once a week.
A picture of the 1841 building shows two doors, one for the men and one for the women. Men traditionally sat on the left side and women on the right. Traditionally they were served communion from different cups as well!
Two County Court record books corroborate the organization of the Mud River Baptist Church in 1807. Also from the Court records: “The Baptist Society of Mud River, May 5, 1821, John Dundas, Thomas Dundas, and Henry T. Dundas, consideration of 1.00, adjoining the the plantation formally in the occupancy of Col. John Everett, and at the present occupied by said society as a church lot and burial ground…..Beginning on the South side of the main road containing an acre to have and to hold said piece or parcel of ground unto the said Baptist Society of Mud River and their successors forever.”
The 1807 church covenant, in part, states; “The Baptist covenant of a number of members….a home God hath fixed our habitation on Mud River and Guyandotte and adjacent parts an arm of the Valley church with full consent of their body have assembled with out assistant elders and helps from our sister churches.”

_____________________________________________________________________



Eleanor Butcher Dick likely died between 1844 and 1850, because her youngest child, America Dick, was born about 1844. By 1860 her husband, John Joseph Dick, had remarried to Catherine. On the 1860 census John Joseph Dick and Catherine have several children: 17-yr-old Frances, 11-yr-old Rhoda, 10-yr-old Benjamin, 8-yr-old Ballard, 6-yr-old Spurlock, 4-yr-old Margaret, 3-yr-old Henry J., and 1-yr-old Catherine Dick. Because the eldest child, Frances, would have been born around 1843 (around the same time that Eleanor's daughter, America Dick was born, it is possible that Frances was a daughter from Catherine’s previous marriage). The 6-year gap between the two eldest children listed on the 1860 census (in addition to the very close spacing of all of the rest of the children), might also support the idea that Frances may not have been the biological daughter of John Joseph Dick. Assuming that 11-yr-old Rhoda Dick was the first child of John Joseph Dick and Catherine, we might estimate that John and Catherine were married sometime around 1847 to 1849. (And on the 1850 census Eleanor is not listed, and her children are living with several different families in Cabell County, Virginia). So it is likely that Eleanor died between 1844 and 1850.

*Note: throughout all of my research so far, Frances J. Dick lists her father as Joseph Dick. I have not been able to definitively prove or disprove if Joseph Dick was her biological father or not, but from census records it seems that he raised her and was considered her father. From the lack of evidence proving otherwise, I have listed her as a child of Joseph Dick and Catherine Cook in my genealogy file and will leave it that way unless I find other sources in the future that show otherwise.


___________________________________________________________________



Catherine was the second wife of John Joseph Dick, following the death of John Joseph Dick’s first wife, Eleanor Butcher. According to , “Cleda R Stephens Family Research” family tree, submitted by ancestry.com user “Cleda45” of Cabell County, West Virginia, Catherine Cook’s marriage to John Joseph Dick was also her second marriage, and Catherine was previously married to Hiram Cremeans. But I have disproved the marriage between Catherine (wife of John Joseph Dick) and Hiram Cremeans. Catherine was married to John Joseph Dick and was recorded as living with him on both the 1850 and 1860 censuses, as shown below. Catherine, wife of Hiram Cremeans, was also recorded as living with Hiram and their children on both the 1850 and 1860 censuses, therefore, this could not be the same Catherine. As far as I can tell, the Cremeans family is not related to the Dick family at all:


1850 census: Katherine (age 30) and Joseph (age 50) Dick living in Boone County, Virginia with children: Frances J age 7, and Rhoda A age 0



1850 census: Catherine (40 yr) and Hiram (39 yrs) Cremeans living in Cabell County, Virginia with children: Lewis age 18, Cyntha age 15, Minta age 13, Cathrin age 11, Hiram age 9, Wesley age 7, William age 5, and Burton age 2



1860 census: Catherine (age 40) and Joseph (age 60) Dick living in Cabell County, Virginia with children: Frances age 17, Rhoda age 11, Benjamin age 10, Ballard age 8, Spurlock age 6, Margaret age 4, Henry J age 3, and Catherine age 1



1860 census: Catharine (age 49) and Hiram (age 48) Cremeans living in Wayne County, Virginia with children: Cynthia age 23, Minta age 21, Catharine age 20, Hiram age 18, Wesley age 16, William age 14, and Burten age 12

Because "Boone County was formed from an act of the Virginia General Assembly on March 11, 1847 from Cabell, Kanawha, and Logan counties," it is possible that John Joseph Dick never moved from his previous home in Cabell County, Virginia, but that the county boundaries were just changed around him??? (Not sure if he moved or not).

Researching the Dick Family, Part 2

So, after doing quite a bit of research on the Dick family for the next few days, I was very excited when I found Morris and Lafayette’s parents! And since I didn’t just go online and find them right away – it took some researching and putting the clues together until I figured it out for sure – I really felt like a detective who had solved a case. How exciting! And it’s not every day that you “find” direct ancestors.

So, Lafayette Dick’s parents were Eleanor Butcher and John Joseph Dick of Cabell County, Virginia.  (Cabell County was part of Virginia until 1863 when West Virginia seceded from the state during the Civil War and Cabell County became part of West Virginia.  This explains why so many records show that the birthplaces of both John Joseph Dick and Lafayette Dick were either Virginia or West Virginia).

I started focusing on Cabell County when I found Lafayette Dick living there on the 1850 census.  Then I happened to find Dicks buried in the cemetery of the Mud River Baptist Church in Barboursville, Cabell County, West Virginia, which reminded me of what my great grandmother had said about Lafayette's father being buried in the Mud River Flat Church cemetery in Tennessee.  Everything else I've found says that they were from Virginia or West Virginia, not Tennessee.  So, it seems that my great grandmother got the state wrong, but did have the right name for the cemetery. 

Anyways, on that 1850 Cabell Co, Virginia census, I found 18-year old Lafayette Dick (along with 23-year old Andrew Dick, 20-year old Reuben Dick, and 6-year-old America Dick) living with the family of widow, Rachael Butcher. Wondering if Lafayette was living with the Butcher family because his parents may have recently passed away before 1850, I started searching the county for his brother, Morris. I found 4 other individuals with the surname Dick in Cabell Co. in 1850, all in their 20s or teens, and all living with families with surnames other than their own: 25-year old Notley Dick living with the Robert & Mary McKendree family, 19-year old Polly Dick living with the Benjamin & Sarah Davis family, 13-year old Mary Dick living with the John Merrit family, and 13-year old Joseph Dick living with Rufus & Mary Lenerd family.  [Oh, and I also later found that a number of Andrew Dick’s family members were buried in the Mud River Baptist Church Cemetery.]

(In my searches I’d also come across a marriage record for a Joseph Dick and Eleanor Butcher in Cabell County on 14 March 1822, and that stuck with me because Lafayette Dick was living with a Butcher family on that 1850 census).

But I hadn’t found Morris yet on the 1850 census. So I wondered if the kids were all living with other families in the area, maybe Morris was listed under the surname of the family he was living with. So I looked for anyone with the name Morris in Cabell Co., and there was only one with a birth year within 3 or 4 years of Morris Dick: 13-year old Morris Lusher living with the Matthew & Margaret Lusher family. Interestingly, the family of Matthew and Margaret Lusher is listed with four children, ages 7, 5, 4, and 1 years, and 13-year old Morris is listed last, after all of the other younger children. Although we can’t know for sure if this is Morris Dick, it might explain why we can’t find a Morris Dick in the area at the time. (And I checked on the 1860 and 1870 censuses and couldn’t find a Morris Lusher, so it’s a possibility). Also, in my later research I found another connection between the Dick family and the Lusher family: I found a record posted to the rootsweb site by a descendant of the Cyrus family (Lafayette’s eldest brother, Notley Dick, later married Catherine Cyrus) that stated that Notley Dick “was elected constable in Cabell County, West Virginia, in fall of 1853. In February 1854, Notley stabbed Matthew Lusher h.o. Margaret Blake; Matthew died March 1854; court records show Notley resigned as constable in March 1854. . . .” So, apparently Notley Dick stabbed Matthew Lusher, the head of the household where a Morris was living in the 1850 census, and it appears that Matthew Lusher later died from these wounds. I wonder if the stabbing was related to Notley’s job as a constable, or if it was just a fight between the two men – could it have had anything to do with Notley’s little brother, Morris, possibly living with the Lusher family???

Then I thought I’d look up some of the siblings living with Lafayette on the 1850 census and see if I could catch any leads. I started with Andrew Dick, and I found numerous people who had submitted family trees on ancestry.com showing Andrew Jackson Dick with parents, John Joseph Dick and Eleanor Butcher – so that marriage record that I’d come across earlier was the right one. (Some of the family trees listed the father as John Dick, a few said John Joseph Dick, but the majority listed him as Joseph Dick). I haven’t come across anything yet that lists parents for Joseph Dick. So, I need to find more original records, but there are enough family trees that agree on the names of the parents that it’s likely correct. It looks like Joseph Dick had a second wife, and they had a number of children too. (The one thing that I noticed was that Lafayette was listed as a child in the family in several of the family trees that I looked at, but none of them listed Morris in the family. I wonder if that is because someone researched the census records and they didn’t find Morris because he wasn’t recorded under the surname Dick?)

Oh, and it turns out that the Rachael Butcher family that Lafayette was living with on the 1850 census is family too. I found a marriage record showing that Rachael Butcher’s maiden name was actually Dick. And her husband, who was no longer living at the time of the 1850 census, was Reuben Butcher. And it turns out that Reuben Dick and Eleanor Butcher Dick were siblings. I also assume that Rachael Dick Butcher was related to Joseph Dick (could they have been siblings also? Or maybe cousins?), but since I do not yet know who Joseph Dick’s parents were, I haven’t been able to learn more about how Joseph and Rachael may have been connected (other than the fact that their spouses were siblings).

So, I’ve got lots of notes I’ve taken as I’ve been doing this that I now need to sort through and add everything into my genealogy file. I’ve been typing up this information here and there in my spare time since early January, and have compiled quite a bit data – much of it about the children of Eleanor and Joseph Dick, and the children from Joseph’s 2nd marriage to Catherine Cook after Eleanor passed away. I’ve still got a number of records that I’ve found and need to look over and add to my file, but I think I’ll try to start posting my research notes of what I’ve found so far sometime in the next few days, and then add more as I get to it. I’m just glad that I got that e-mail asking me about Lafayette Dick’s parents, because I wouldn’t have started researching that family otherwise (at least not right now). So, anyways, I’ll post the source info for this information with my research notes on my next post, but just wanted to get this info posted for now. If you happen to be another family researcher and you are connected to the Dick or Butcher families, I’d love to share family info!
