Capt. Ashbel Dickinson died September 22, 1825. See F.A.G LINK. However the stone engraving I took seems to reveal 1823. He is buried in historic Wethersfield Village Cemetery in Wethersfield, Connecticut. His F.A.G bio says war of 1812. Need help with his genealogy and any military sources or records. I also see plenty of possible merge options but not definite. How does 15 year old Susanna Dickinson fit in as she is buried next to both Ebenezer Dickinsons and Capt. Ashbel Dickinson. See Ebenezer Dickinson died 1813 and Ebenezer Dickinson died 1752

Should merge be initiated with Ashbel Dickinson? Died 1825

Should a merge be initiated with Ebenezer Dickinson died 1752

Should a merge be initiated with Ebenezer Dickinson died 1813

See Descendants of Thomas Dickinson and Here

Thank you wikitree family

That’s Him! Yup 1825! After looking at the stone closer it is a 5 but stones are so old and fragile
shows his baptism record

Ashbel Dickinson was baptized on 6 August 1780.

Married in Berlin seems a bit of a ways away considering the time period but possible I found this Here

I wonder if they were brothers or how they were related. Ebenezer and Ashbel. Next to their grave is another Ebenezer and then 15 year old Susanna
