I found this thread via Google while doing some investigation for a cousin. I am not related to any of the people mentioned, but have a slight connection to John William Driver Dickenson (or Dickerson) born 1837. He has led me a merry dance, since he perpetually changes his surname between Dickerson, Dickenson and Driver (not to mention spelling irregularities along the way!) Practically all of his descendants were blessed with the middle name "Driver", and it's taken me a while to work out why. If anyone wants any information down the Driver/Dickenson/Dickerson line, I will be happy to share what I have.
