John Dickinson (1733-1802)
John Dickinson inherited Streetgate, Havercroft, Todhole and Whillimoor Head. He acquired Salter Hall through his marriage to Frances Fryear.
John and Frances had many children: Daniel (1759-1811), William (1760-), John (1762-1799), Frances (1765-1862), Richard (1767-1816), Isaac (1769-1835), Joseph (1772-1852), Fryear (1775-), Jane (1777-1859) and Thomas (1779-1809).
John died in Workington in 1802. His son John had died there (at the age of 36) in 1799, a year after his mother Frances. Workington does not sound a healthy place then.
The daughters Frances and Jane died unmarried on the Red How estate.
John's will reflects the abundance of property. Very broadly, Daniel was given the inheritance of Streetgate and Salter Hall, with the daughters getting Whillomoor Head, and the rest of the sons Havercroft and Todhole.
Daniel Dickinson (1759-1811)
Daniel was born at Salter Hall and lived there for many years after his marriage.
In 1784 he eloped with a London heiress, Margaret Farthing (who was then staying at Broughton in Furness), to Gretna Green. This was regularised by a marriage at Arlecdon a month later.
He moved to Ulverston, where he practiced as an attorney sometime before 1800.
His descendants have a largely Ulverston/Ireland/London history and still own Streetgate.
William Dickinson (1760-)
William married Ann Jackson of Bankend in Furness. They had a number of children, largely with Workington histories, but with granddaughters marrying into Manchester families.
He was a surgeon in the Square in Workington, possibly a partner to Joseph Stamper.
Richard Dickinson (1767-1816)
Richard was an attorney. He married Susan Cox of London, where he died. He had five daughters.
Isaac Dickinson (1769-1835)
John, Isaac and Joseph went into the grocery/wine business in Workington, presumably together rather than in competition. It was clearly extremely profitable.
Isaac acquired Havercroft by agreement with his siblings and built a new house there in 1827. He left occupation to his ex-housekeeper and wife, Ann Harrison; but this caused a family row, She eventually accepted an annuity in lieu and went to live in Whitehaven, and the property was acquired by Joseph.
Joseph Dickinson (1772-1852)
Joseph created the Red How estate. He purchased Redhow and Woodend (from outside the family) as well as Havercroft and Todhole, so creating a unified estate (much larger than Streetgate), and built a new small manor house at its centre. The estate still exists under Dickinson control, but Red How itself at the time of writing is up for sale.
Joseph also purchased an ancient property in Ennerdale (Caswell How or How Hall, the former main seat of the Patrickson family) which gave control over Ennerdale Water. This was sold in the 1950s.
Fryear Dickinson (1775-)
Fryear married Delicia Gill of Hastings. He died at his curacy at East Dean in Surrey.
Thomas Dickinson (1779-1809)
Thomas was master of the ship 'Joseph' of Harrington, 209 tons, in 1804. He died unmarried.
