Alfred M. Dicks of Crawford County, Illinois

By Deborah Sweeney

In 1840, Alfred M. Dicks married Ruth Reynolds, a Quaker girl, in Crawford County, Illinois. Not much was known about this simple farmer from North Carolina until a descendant of his eldest daughter Lydia began exploring the family's history. While much of Alfred's life still remains a mystery, painstaking historical research paints a picture of a life touched by slavery and religion in the years leading up to the Civil War.
