Hi there.
We are also related to Philip and Sophrinia Dickinson, through both parents actually.
My mother's Grandmother was Lillie May Dickinson, who is also Philip Dickinson's daughters. Our family tree has her listed as 1866-1942.
My father's Grandmother was Clara Bell Dickinson, one of the children you have listed as Philip Dickinson's daughter.
Our family is primarily in California, though our parents came from Michigan and Illinois.
