      __________________

      John, Jr., who opened his eyes to the light in Scotland July 17, 1803 [incorrect], and who grew to manhood in his native land. He was married there to Janet B. Miller, whose mother was a cousin of Robert Burns. She was born January 28, 1809, and died in September, 1877. John Dickie, Jr., left his native land soon after his marriage and made his home in Canada, where he reared a family of six children, named respectively, John, James, David, William B., Marian and Jessie. In 1854 he came to this State and bought a farm of two hundred and forty acres in West Bloomfield Township, this county. It was his intention to bring his family hither the next spring, but he died in February, 1855, before his purpose was accomplished. His widow and five children soon located on the farm, which is now owned by David, the third son.
