Notes:

Joshua, born say 1775, a poor orphan, son of Crecy Dinkins, bound to Benjamin Pennington in Mecklenburg County on 10 April 1780 [Orders 1779-84, 29]. He sued Thomas Epps in Lunenburg County for trespass, assault and battery on 9 March 1797, but the suit was dismissed on agreement of the parties [Orders 1796-9]. He was to marry Judah Stewart, 16 December 1797 Lunenburg County bond. He was taxable in Lunenburg County from 1794 to 1806, called Joshua E. Dinkins in 1795 [PPTL 1782-1806]. He was counted in a list of "free Negroes and Mulattoes" as a "Mulatto" in 1802 with his wife Celia, children Polly and John, and Matthew Holmes, farmers on Flat Rock Creek. He was listed as a ditcher on Cedar Creek in 1803 with his wife Celia and children Matthew, Polly and Sally. He was probably related to William Dinkins who was listed with his wife Lucretia in the lists for 1802 and 1803 and Thomas Dinkins who was listed in 1803 [LVA, Lunenburg County, Free Negro & Slave Records, 1802-1803]. William was taxable in Lunenburg County from 1789 to 1806, and Thomas was taxable from 1792 to 1806. They were called Dickens from 1799 to 1806 [PPTL 1782-1806].
