The history of Fayette County was published 14 years after the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

Rev. William Dickey, first preacher, was born December 6th, 1774, in York District, South Carolina, and died December 5th, 1857, aged 83 years, lacking one day. His birthday was the day of his burial. He lost his mother when but two years old. His father, Robert Dickey, was a soldier in the revolution, and Rev. William Dickey had to fly before Cornwallis' army, whose encampment was on his father's farm. He then five years old. After the war he removed to Kentucky. William, when a grown man, obtained an education at Nashville, Tenn., and was licensed to preach on the 5th of October, 1802, by the Presbytery of Transylvania, at Springhill. He was soon elected a member of the General Assembly, which met in Philadelphia.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Fayette County, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
