Bequest of Frederick A. Canfield, 1926;
additions by exhange and purchase, 1956-1975.
Mahlon Dickerson, the son of Mary Coe (1752-1827) and Jonathan Dickerson (1747-1805),
was born on April 17, 1770 in Hanover Neck, New Jersey. Jonathan Dickerson was primarily a
farmer, though also known as a carpenter, millwright, iron mine owner, and holder of a
patent for an improved water wheel. Of the Dickersons eleven children, Mahlon was
the eldest.
Mahlon Dickerson graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in
1789, studied law in Morristown, New Jersey, and was admitted to the bar in 1793.
The
following year, however, he joined the force that journeyed into western Pennsylvania to
stamp out the Whisky Rebellion. After this adventure, he returned to New Jersey to
practice law before moving to Philadelphia in 1797. He joined John Milnors law
practice and soon entered into local politics where he was a strong supporter of Thomas
Jefferson and later a Jacksonian Democrat. He was elected a common councilman in 1799 and
was appointed by President Jefferson as the commissioner of bankruptcy in 1802.
In 1805,
he was appointed adjutant general of Philadelphia, a position from which he resigned in
1808 to become the recorder of Philadelphia for two years.
In 1805, Mahlons father died, and two years later his brother Silas (1771-1807)
was killed in an accident. At this time, Mahlon took control of his fathers holdings
in Morris County, New Jersey, paying particular attention to a mine in Succasunna,
Randolph Township called Suckasunny and later Dickerson Mine. He bought the few shares of
the mine that he had not inherited, and in 1810, moved back to Morris County.
He built his
home, which he named Ferromonte (Iron Mountain), near the mine and saw to the
management of both. Dickerson Mine was very rich, produced good quality iron, and was
profitable for the remainder of Mahlons lifetime.
Soon after his return to New Jersey, Mahlon Dickerson once again entered politics.
From
1811-1813 he served in the New Jersey State Assembly, from 1812-1815 he was a New Jersey
Supreme Court justice, from 1815-1817 he was the governor of New Jersey, and from
1817-1833 he was a United States senator. During his time in the Senate, he served as the
chairman of the Committee on Manufacturers and was a strong supporter of the protective
tariff.
In 1834, Dickerson accepted the nomination as
minister to Russia, but was instead
appointed the secretary of the Navy by President Andrew Jackson. Dickerson served in the
presidential cabinet for the final two years of Jacksons second term and for the
first two years of Martin Van Burens. He resigned in 1838 due to health problems.
He
served briefly as a U.S. district judge for the State of New Jersey in 1840-1841, but
resigned and was succeeded by his brother Philemon Dickerson (1788-1862).
Although no longer politically active, Mahlon attended New Jerseys Constitutional
Convention in 1844 and from 1846-1847 was president of the American Institute.
In the late
1840s he finally retired from public life and spent his final days at Ferromonte,
where his nephew, Frederick Canfield (1810-1867), also resided with his young family.
Mahlon Dickerson never married and died at his home on October 5, 1853.
Philemon Dickerson (1788-1862)
Philemon Dickerson, the youngest son of Mary and Jonathan Dickerson, was born in
Succasunna, New Jersey on June 6, 1788. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania
in 1808, was admitted to the bar in 1813, and opened a law office in Philadelphia.
On April 13, 1816, Philemon Dickerson married Sydney Maria Stotesbury, the daughter of
Captain John Stotesbury, a veteran of the Revolution. The couple settled in Paterson, New
Jersey where their four children, John Henry (1818-1855), Mary (b.1829), Edward Nicoll
(1824-1889), and Philemon, Jr. (1829-1862), were born.
Dickerson was admitted as a counselor-at-law in 1817 and as a sergeant-at-law in 1834,
and in that time period also entered politics. Like his brother Mahlon, Philemon was a
Jacksonian Democrat who believed in limited government but a strong protective tariff.
He
served as a member of New Jerseys State Assembly from 1821-1822 and as a member of
the U.S. House of Representatives from 1833-1836. He resigned the latter position to
become New Jerseys governor from 1836-1837, after which he once again ran for
Congress. In what became known as the “Great Seal War,” the election results,
which placed five Democrats (including Dickerson) and one Whig in the House, were
challenged and then overturned by New Jerseys Whig governor, William Pennington.
After a vote in Congress, the original election results were reinstated and Dickerson
returned to the House of Representatives from 1839-1841. At the end of his term in office,
Dickerson accepted the nomination as a District Court judge from President Martin Van
Buren, replacing his brother Mahlon Dickerson.
Philemon Dickerson remained a District Court
judge until his death twenty years later. During this time period he was instrumental in attaining Patersons city charter
(1851) and authored a book, The City of Paterson, Its Past, Present, and Future
(1856). He died in Paterson on December 10, 1862.

Near the time of Mahlon Dickersons death in 1853, Philemon Dickerson donated
genealogy charts that Mahlon had compiled of the sovereigns of Europe. The majority of the
Mahlon and Philemon Dickerson Papers, however, were later donated by Frederick A.
Canfield, their great-nephew. Continual additions have been made to the papers, starting
with the donation of three of Mahlon Dickersons diaries and a bound letter book, by
the estate of Frederick A. Canfield in 1926 (M2206-M2209). Additional Mahlon and Philemon
Dickerson letters were purchased by The Society from 1971-1981 (see Index A for accession
numbers), and the typed copy of Mahlon Dickersons 1832-1845 diary was placed on loan
by Rutgers University Library in 1956. Four letters were also transferred from
The New
Jersey Historical Societys Manuscript Group 1, Alphabetical Series, in July of 1984
(A 84-18). The original source of these documents is unknown.
The papers consist of the correspondence, diaries, and professional papers of Mahlon
Dickerson (1770-1853) and Philemon Dickerson (1788-1862), with additional correspondence
and business papers of extended family members, including Edward Nicoll Dickerson
(1824-1889), John M. Gould, Jonathan Dickerson (1747-1805), Silas Dickerson (1771-1807),
Mahlon Ford Dickerson (1794-1823), and Mary Dickerson Canfield (1778-1830).
The papers
date from 1774-1922, with bulk dates of 1830-1850, and have been arranged into three
series: Mahlon Dickerson, Philemon Dickerson, and Dickerson Family.
Series I – Mahlon Dickerson (1770-1853)
Series I dates from 1782-1922, with bulk dates of 1830-1840, and consists of the
correspondence, diaries, professional papers, financial documents, contracts, maps, study
notes, and poetry of Mahlon Dickerson.
The majority of the correspondence in this series consists of letters received by
Mahlon Dickerson, and highlights his time as Secretary of the Navy and to a lesser extent,
his time as governor of New Jersey and as a U.S. Senator. The correspondence is arranged
alphabetically by author and then by date, and also includes a smaller number of letters
written or saved by Dickerson. New Jersey politics, along with national election campaigns
and Jacksonian and Van Buren politics are discussed throughout the correspondence.
As a
result, Dickersons support of the Democratic Party and of Andrew Jackson, Martin Van
Buren, and Lewis Cass for president are all documented. Specific political issues of the
time, such as the Second Bank of America, the Bankruptcy Bill of 1841, the Protective
Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, and Southern nullification are highlighted, as is
Dickersons strong support of protective tariffs and the iron industry.
There are
also a large number of letters to Dickerson both as senator and as secretary of the Navy
requesting recommendations and/or military or political appointments. Correspondents on
these topics include John Quincy Adams, Joseph Anderson, William Ashbridge, Samuel J.
Bayard, Jonathan Dayton, Theodore Frelinghuysen, Albert Gallatin, Thomas Hart Benton,
James Buchanan, John C. Calhoun, Lewis Cass, Lewis Condict, William H. Crawford, George
Mifflin Dallas, James Iredell, Louis McLane, Robert Lee, James Madison, James Monroe,
William S. Pennington, John Randolph, Philip Reed, Samuel L. Southard, Martin Van Buren,
and Gideon Wells.
Dickersons role as secretary of the Navy is also documented in such topics as the
building and maintaining of dry docks, ports, and navy yards in New Jersey and New York;
the organization of an exploring expedition to Antarctica; naval pensions; mechanics
rights to a shorter workday; naval contracts; and the decapitation of a figure head of
Andrew Jackson on the U.S. Constitution in July of 1834. Correspondents on these
topics include Jesse Duncan Elliott, B. Franklin, Andrew Jackson, Jeromus Johnson,
Laurence Kearny, Amos Kendall, George McDonald, William S. Osborn, James Kirke Paulding,
Samuel Swartwout, Martin Van Buren, Jacob Treadwell Walden, Garret Wall, and Samuel
Welles.
Other professional topics in Dickersons correspondence include the iron industry
of New Jersey, Dickerson Mine, the manufacturing of Colt guns in New Jersey, and patent
infringements, particularly that of Oliver Evans steam engine for mills, and Robert
Fulton and John R. Livingstons steamboat engine. These topics are covered in the
letters of William Ashbridge, Frederick Canfield, Roswell L. Colt, Oliver Evans, Thomas R.
Lacey, and John R. Livingston.
The correspondence also contains one bound volume of letters between Mahlon Dickerson
and his brother Silas, dating from 1794-1806 when Mahlon was in Philadelphia and Silas was
in Stanhope, New Jersey. The brothers discuss their professional careers – the law
career of one and the manufacturing business of the other; their political careers, for
both are early Democrats and involved in local and state government; their concerns over
their younger siblings; and general family matters such as health updates and daily news.
The letter book strongly documents the close relationship between the two brothers.
The papers also contain four hand-written volumes of Mahlon Dickersons diary,
dating from 1782-1809 and 1832-1852. The diaries give an almost daily account of
Dickersons life from his education as a boy to his retirement from public office.
Early entries discuss his legal education and career, his participation in the suppression
of the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794, and his move back to New Jersey. His various professions
are detailed, including his work at the Dickerson Mine and his numerous public offices,
including his sixteen years as a senator and his service as secretary of the Navy.
The
diary includes an account of the duel to the death between Congressmen William J. Graves
and Jonathan Cilley in 1838 and an eyewitness account of the attempt on President Andrew
Jacksons life in 1835. The papers contain typescript copies of three of these four
volumes, and a typescript copy of excerpts from Dickersons 1809-1819 diary, which is
located at Rutgers University.
Series I also includes a small number of professional and financial documents of Mahlon
Dickerson. There are two dockets dating from 1795-1801 and 1800-1809 documenting
Dickersons career as a lawyer, and a folder of notes on commerce and manufacture
documenting his interest and involvement with the Senatorial Committee on Manufacturers.
There are also a small number of professional certificates, receipts, accounts, bank
notes, contracts, maps of Morris County, study notes, poems, newspaper clippings, and
genealogy charts of the sovereigns of Europe.
Series II – Philemon Dickerson (1788-1862)
Series II dates from 1803-1860, with bulk dates of 1835-1845, and consists of the
correspondence, professional papers, financial documents, and contracts of Philemon
Dickerson.
As in Series I, the majority of the correspondence consists of letters received by
Philemon Dickerson documenting his careers as a lawyer and statesman. The letters have
been arranged alphabetically by author and then by date, and largely discuss New Jersey
politics. There are also letters regarding Dickersons legal cases, and numerous
requests for recommendations or political appointments for such offices as
postmaster and steam boat inspector during his time as governor of New Jersey. Other issues brought to
Dickersons attention include the Bankruptcy Bill of 1841, miners rights to
mineral property in New Jersey, protection of the land rights of Louisiana residents
during the switch from French to American rule, the Camden and Woodbury Railroad, and the
relocation of various regiments along the southwestern frontier. Correspondents of
Philemon Dickerson include Pruden Alling, Samuel Beardsley, F.W. Brinley, Joseph Wheeler
Camp, Lewis Cass, Roswell L. Colt, John L. Daniel, Richard Dennis, Mahlon Dickerson,
Samuel Doughty, John F. Ellis, William Gale, George Griswold, Robert William Harris,
Wanton R. Hazard, Joseph C. Hornblower, H.J. James, Louis McLane, Henry Nicoll, Ephraim F.
Ogden, Aaron Peck, J.A. Phillips, Joseph C. Potts, Stacy G. Potts, Martin Rouen, B.
Livingston Ship, Silas Stilwell, Elias Van Arsdale, Levi Woodbury, and Joseph A. Yard.
The professional papers in the series largely document Dickersons legal career.
The series contains Dickersons docket from 1815-1826; U.S. District Court documents,
which include court calendars, marshal bonds and oaths of office, and juror summons; and
case files from Dickersons time both as a lawyer and a judge. The latter files
include cases argued by Aaron S. Pennington (1800-1869), another Paterson lawyer and
possibly Philemon Dickersons partner or co-counsel. This group of documents also
contains a list of deputy marshals for the 1840 census in New Jersey and notes and
pamphlets on Congressional legislation dealing with the repeal of a pilot law (1837),
pensions for widows (1838), naval pensions (1840), protective tariffs (1840), and a
general bankruptcy law (1841).
Lastly, Series II contains a smaller number of financial documents, largely receipts,
bills, notes, and bonds, and a number of contracts. While the contracts are mostly
miscellaneous, possibly dealing with Dickersons legal cases, there is a deed for the
sale of land in Paterson, New Jersey to Philemon Dickerson and Aaron S. Pennington.
Series III – Dickerson Family
The final series dates from 1774-1859, with bulk dates of 1845-1855, and consists of
the correspondence and professional papers of various members of the Dickerson Family,
particularly Edward Nicoll Dickerson and his brother-in-law, and probably law partner,
John M. Gould.
Series III contains letters written to Augustus Canfield (1801-1854), David Sealy
Canfield (1774-1830), Frederick Canfield (1810-1869), Mary “Polly” Dickerson
Canfield (1778-1830), Edward Nicoll Dickerson (1824-1889), John B. Dickerson (1786-1822),
Jonathan Dickerson (1747-1805), Silas Dickerson (1771-1807), and John M. Gould. The
majority of this correspondence is between family members and deals with family updates,
worries over money, upcoming marriages, deaths, and illnesses. The correspondence of
Edward N. Dickerson and John M. Gould, however, deal with their professional lives and
consist of discussion of various law suits and requests to the court clerk, a capacity in
which both served.
The professional papers in this series also document the legal careers of Edward N.
Dickerson and John M. Gould. The papers contain case files of the two lawyers, which
largely consist of patent infringement suits, and include documents from Goodyear vs. Day
(Fed. Cas. No. 5569), one of Dickersons most important cases.
Lastly, this series contains two contracts of John M. Gould dealing with property
transfers and a “private memorandum book” kept by Mahlon Ford Dickerson from
1816-1822. The latter is a journal tracking mostly monetary events in Dickersons
life, such as the dissolution of his partnership with his uncle Mahlon Dickerson in M.F.
Dickerson and Company, a general store in Succasunna, New Jersey.
