Oliver was a son of Simeon Dickinson and Deborah Ackley. He married Jerusha Fuller (February 7, 1804 - ?) on June 22, 1823.
Oliver and Jerusha had ten known children:
1) Martha Jerusha Dickinson (1825-1900), who married Soloman Wightman;
2) Oliver A. Dickinson (1827-?), who married Mary A. Alber;
3) Elizabeth Dickinson (1829-?);
4) Hannah Dickinson (1829-?);
5) Harriett E. Dickinson (1830-?);
6) Samuel Dickinson (1833-1834);
7) Samuel F. Dickinson (1835-1869);
8) Mathew Smith Dickinson (1837-?), who married Sarah A. Tyley;
9) Clarissa Dickinson (b. about 1840; d.?);
10) Ellen Dickinson (1842-1845).
The first five children were born in New York, and the rest were born in Michigan.
Oliver died in Indianfields Township, Tuscola County, Michigan, at the age of 79 years and 1 day.
Note: There are inscriptions on three sides of this monument; one side for Oliver Dickinson (1798-1877), a second side for Samuel F. Dickinson (1835-1869), and a third side for Samuel F. Dickinson (1833-1834) and his sister Ellen Dickinson (1842-1845). The inscriptions on the third side serve as cenotaphs, since Samuel and Ellen are buried in William Ganong Cemetery in Westland, Wayne County, Michigan. The fourth side of the monument has no inscription on it.
A date of death and place of burial have not yet been located for Oliver's wife Jerusha, although most likely she died in Tuscola County, Michigan.
