Thanks to all who responded (and a special thanks to Christopher). I have created wikitree profiles for her parents and paternal grandparents. And I have entered the basic information and will work on the profiles further as time allows. But feel free to jump in and work on them as well (since I am pretty busy this time of year). And there are still profiles that need to be created for siblings.
If Source 1 (by Clifford Stott) is correct, that Anna is daughter of William Bincks and Mary Baxter, why aren't there wikitree profiles for these parents? The same source could be used as a source for their profiles.
I would look for them first to see if they already exist and didn't get attached. but otherwise you can create them. I've removed the ppp so they can be attached. It was there to protect a merge direction.
Kenneth, do you have access to Stott's '98 and '16 NEHGR articles (i.e., do you have an NEHGS paid membership)? If not, let me know and I can send them to you. [I also have the Dickinson Family Association's "green books", 1987 version, if you are working on the family as a whole -- these are my wife's people -- but that edition was too early to have the benefit of Stott's findings about Nathaniel, Ann, _et al._.]
To L Parker = Lots of things are not FREE, including American Ancestors, Fold3, Ancestry.com, most scholarly journals etc.
And the authors of this type of research often publish in other journals that aren't accessible unless you have an annual subscription to the specific journal. Same as most everyday ordinary magazines and newspapers, that are sold in the supermarket.
I pay for access to American Ancestors, . because it's worth it to me personally. I don't pay for any other sites.
NEHGR and many like journels are probably available in a local library or a college/university library.
Chris Hoyt seems too be correct on this one L. Parker. Given the different will Diolougue, Just keep at on your research thank for doing your very best and don't stop L Parker. Also thank you Chris Hoyt for your additional time too this historical subject.

You are refer to a source written 120+ years ago. Recent research shows that to be incorrect.

She married John Gull, her son William was baptised as the son of John Gull.
They didn't emigrate until about 1637/8 - as their daughter Anna Dickinson was bp. in England 1636. And Nathaniel is first found in Wethersfield in 1638.
See the source list for Anna's information. ie: Stott, See this source: NEHGR 170: 2016 Clifford L., Ancestry of Anne Bincks of Scalford, Leicestershire, Wife of Nathaniel1 Dickinson of Wethersfield and Hadley, and Mother of William1 Gull of Hatfield, which has the parish registers.

There is absolutely no legitimate evidence whatsoever that points to Anna's maiden name as being "Bincks"! That pedigree resource file listed below as supposed "proof" as to who her parents were along with that supposed maiden name of Bincks, lists ancestry.com members trees as the source for this information; I backed tracked all of those trees and the only "source" for the "supposed" info those trees lists are other people's tree.
On Anna's Memorial Page on find a grave, the creator of that page even states that there is no valid evidence/proof that "Bincks" was Anna's maiden name!!
LINK to Anna's find a grave Memorial page: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/34202871
As to date, Anna's maiden name is still unknown!!! Other people's trees are not valid evidence of anything.
I don't find any evidence of a daughter Frances except Nathaniel's will. Frances Dickinson may be Frances (Foote) Dickinson, wife of son John deceased.
