The name of
Jesse's father:
Henry Dickens; mother:
Uncertain
The name of Jesse's wife:
Mary "Polly" McDernent;
she appears to have been the daughter "Jacob
McDerment" and an unknown
wife.
Based on Henry's location
between 1789 - 1800, Jesse was probably born in Caswell
County, NC. Even though Jesse's age in the 1800 Caswell
Co., NC Census indicates he was born between 1784 -
1790, based on his 1820 and 1830 Smith Co., TN Census
data, I believe he was most likely born in 1790;
he died in Smith Co., TN between 1833 and 1839/40. He
would have been between 43 and 50 at the time of his
death. The name of Jesse's wife was Mary "Polly"
McDerment - she died between 1860 - 1870.
Jesse and Mary's children were:

NOTE #1:
Although records indicate "Hyrum"
was Jesse's son, I have found no absolute proof.
NOTE #2: A
William Dickens who married Caroline Summersett
between 1830 -
1833 (daughter of Joseph
and Harriett Sommersett) - was
the male 10-16 enumerated in Jesse's Dickens
household in the 1820 Smith Co., TN Census. William'
may have the son of John Sr. or
Charlotte. This
William ended up in Obion Co., TN.
NOTE #3: Joseph
W. Dickens used two aliases in his earlier years. In
1840, he is in the Smith Co., TN Census as: Jimerson;
In 1850, he is in the Smith Co., TN Census as: Josiah;
In 1860, he is in the Wilson Co., TN Census as: Joseph;
Thereafter the name Joseph is continually used.
