Correspondence (1834-1941), genealogical works, clippings (1925-1965) and a daguerreotype constitute this small collection of 16 documents from the descendants of Abishai Dickson. Abishai Dickson's separation from his wife and young family while in Mississipi and later while en route to fight in the Texas Revolution with the Red Rovers from Tuscumbia, Alabama, are recorded in the 1834-1835 correspondence. The correspondence from 1839-1861 deals priimarily with family life in Texas during the Republic and statehood, and life in Mississippi during the Civil War. Later correspondence, genealogical works, and clipping concern the Dickson family. A daguerreotype of Ann Margaret Lucas Dickson Sutherland is included.
