Martha may or may not have been a sister to Matthew. There was a Jonathan Taylor living nearby in the same time period so she may have been related to him. I placed her as sister to Matthew simply because the Taylor's and Dickey's have a long association, even naming their children the same names.

Children of Samuel Dickey and Martha Taylor are:
10 i. Robert Dickey, born February 10, 1747/48 in Londonderry,
Rockingham County, New Hampshire; died in Londonderry, Rockingham County, New
Hampshire; married Hannah Woodburn June 10, 1776 in Londonderry, Rockingham
County, New Hampshire.
ii. Sarah B. Dickey, born 1733.
iii. Elisabeth Dickey, born May 29, 1733; married James Betton.
SECOND GENERATION.
2. Samuel 2 Dickey {William") was doubtless the eldest
of William 1 Dickey's children who came to this country.
Although the date of his birth has not been preserved,
circumstances go to show that he was well advanced
toward manhood, and had possibly reached the age of 2 1
when he first saw the hills of Londonderry. In 1732 he
married Martha Taylor, who died Oct. 15, 1775, aged 71,
who was the mother of all his children. He settled on a
farm in Londonderry that had been laid out six years before
to Gov. Wentworth. It was located on the southerly side
of "Moose hill," and the choice of this spot showed his
superior judgment, as it was, for beauty of situation and
fertility of soil, equal to any in all that region, if not supe-
rior. The farm has ever since been well tilled, and is now
in possession of his descendants.
" He was distinguished for his Herculean strength, it be-
ing equal to that of two ordinary men." His great physical
ability evidently gave him a taste for pioneer life, where he
could wield heavy blows and have the satisfaction of noting
great changes in a comparatively short space of time. To
gratify this propensity, after subduing the native forest and
bringing his large farm to a good state of productiveness,
he disposed of his real estate in Londonderry to his two
.sons, Adam and Robert. Adam's deed is dated in 1764
DICKEY GENEALOGY. 13
and Robert's in 1765, each coming in possession of about
half the original farm.
In 1766 he, with sixteen others, all of Londonderry, with
the exception of his brother-in-law, John Hall of Derryfield,
and his son-in-law, James Betton of Windham, purchased a
tract of country in "the Society Land," so called (now Green-
field, N. H.), containing " five thousand acres, except only
one thousand acres which I have reserved next to Peter-
borough line." The deed was given by Thomas Wallingford
of Somersworth, N. H., for the consideration of " 200
pounds sterling money." He removed to this hitherto
unoccupied region probably soon after his wife's death in
1775, as his son-in-law, Capt. Alexander Parker, settled
there in 1 77 1 . While in this locality he married, second,
a Mrs. Parker, whose history has never been learned. The
date of his death is not known, but it evidently took place
prior to 1 781, in which year his possessions are quit-claimed
by his heirs.
