Biography
First Generation
John Dickarson/Dickenson/Dickinson[1] "of Barnstable," who was probably born in England around 1622, but whose parentage has not been ascertained. John possibly married first[2], perhaps in Boston, Mass., a wife named Frances[3], by whom he had one son, John[4], born 28th 5th mo. 1648, who was not a descendant of John Howland of the Mayflower. John married Elizabeth Howland in Plymouth, Plymouth Colony on 10 July 1651. Capt. John Dickinson died in Oyster Bay before 12 March 1683, the date his will was proved. John and Elizabeth Dickinson lived in Barnstable, on Cape Cod, during the first few years of their marriage and their first few children must have been born there. In 1651, Capt. John Dickinson bought a plot of land in Barnstable which contained eight acres near where the courthouse now stands. By May 1658, John and his family were living in Oyster Bay, Long Island, New York. In February 1659 John Dickinson bought land from John Hinksman. John paid for it in part with cloth and liquor, indicating he was a merchant and trader. On 15 February 1660, the town granted John Dickinson a house and lot at the south end of Oyster Bay, with a first share of meadow land. The next year, 1 February 1661, he was granted additional land, 10 rods deep, at the end of his property. Many other grants followed. On 12 January 1665/6, John Dickinson of Oyster Bay bought five acres of land from John Finch "of Fairfield on ye Main, formerly an inhabiter" of Oyster Bay. In 1671 John Dickinson was appointed by the town to obtain a letter from the Rev. William Leverich, who had since moved to Huntington, Long Island, then to Connecticut, and then back to Newton, Long Island. He was asked to discuss the subject of the rights of the Town of Oyster Bay with the Town of Hempstead. The same year John sold his rights in Hog Island, across from the Town of Oyster Bay, to Capt. Richard Morris. John Dickinson and Richard Harcut were chosen as overseers in 1676. Capt. John Dickinson died about eight years before his wife, Elizabeth. In his will dated 26 January 1680, proved 12 March 1683, John gave his son, Joseph Dickinson, the land and meadow previously settled on him. He gave five shillings each to two of his daughters, Elizabeth and Mercy, who had already received their portions, indicating that they were both married but he did not mention their married names. His widow, Elizabeth, was given the right to divide the rest of the estate among his six youngest children, named as Lydia, Mehetable, Samuel, Hannah, James and Jabez, making special provision for Jabez, who was incapable of caring for himself. Overseers were John Underhill, Sr., John Feakes, Sr., and his own son, Joseph Dickinson. The witnesses were Thomas Townsend and Thomas Weekes.

DNA Results BY18871
Previous Y-DNA testing
The Dickason,-er, -in, -en son, etc. surname DNA Project (Group A) contain a number of individuals, most claiming patrilineal (all male-line) descent from Capt. John Dickinson. This includes descendants of two different sons of John & Elizabeth Dickinson (James and Joseph), who have matching Y-DNA, thus proving both lines of descent from the same individual (presumably Capt. John).
NGS/WGS testing
Some of these descendants have taken FTDNA's Big Y test and their results indicate where they fall under: U106>>Z18>FGC79182>Z17>BY18864>FT91392>BY18866[1]>BY18871.
The project has started to identify subclades below BY18871 which correspond with different lines of descent. These includes FT16969 (falling somewhere under elder son James) and FT108877 (falling somewhere under younger son Joseph).
Individuals who are Y-DNA descendants of John Dickinson are invited to take a Y-DNA test and join the Dickason,-er, -in, -en son, etc. surname DNA Project
- ↑ Originally the descendants fell under this haplogroup. Later, some individuals were found to be positive for BY18866 but negative for BY18871. These individuals do not descend from John Dickinson, but descend from a patrilineal ancestor of John.
Lineage of some of the DNA testers
Several of the individuals tested are unable to trace their Y-DNA ancestry back to John Dickinson & Elizabeth Howland. However, their Y-DNA test results clearly indicate where they are related to this family in a "genealogically significant" timeframe. It is likely these individuals do descend from John & Elizabeth, but it is possible they may descend from a prior marriage of John (which has never been confirmed) or descend from a brother or close cousin to John.
