Emigrated to USA
Settled in Vincennes, Indiana, then in Illinois. Info from Marg. Kay via daughter in law Alta Dick, Unconfirmed as factual, as can't find the marriage in IGI, but given other stories of a move to London by the family - and Margaret's relis being there, there is the birth of a child Jemima Jessie to a James Dick and a Williamina in 1836 in Southwark.

Notes:

Birth Source: OPR Aberdour 401 Births 1811
" Nov. 16 Born to Ms William Dick Banks & Isabel Wilkie, his spouse a son - John"


Source for this family is Andrew S. Bowman and OPR, Aberdour/Kinglassie

2nd source is from Alta Pennington Dick, daughter in law, as Margaret Kay Dick recounted her memories.

"The John Dick family in the United States, landed in Boston, MA in the spring of 1866. They crossed the Ocean in a sailing vessel and were six weeks in crossing; the ship was driven from its course in a fierce storm which took them into the Bay of Biscay. Walter Dick's fourth birthday occurred (Mar 20th) while they were crossing and the Captain invited him to eat dinner with him but called him "Paddy", which made him spunky and Sandy (A.K.Dick) ate dinner with the Captain instead.
Coming in a sailing vessel enabled them to bring many of their household effects with them; and as they had become acquainted with many sea captains who boarded with Aunties - Anna Law and Belle Kay, sisters of Mother Dick, who kept an inn in London on Tower Hill. They came by ship. The family had moved to London on account of reverses suffered from the loss of money. James Finley, a brother-in-law, and Robert Finley, his son, forged a note on Father Dick, by which he obtained quite a sum of money, enough to cause them to leave Milldeans, their home, and go to London where Father Dick worked for a wine merchant and William Dick, his oldest son, kept books for the firm. William was 14 at this time and had a voice. He and his sister, Agnes Blythe Dick, often played together, she playing the piano. Their mother also played the piano and sang. She had been educated at boarding school. Robert Kay Dick, the second son, was not as serious minded, thought more of having fun and playing jokes. Isabella Dick, the second Daughter, was called 'Easy', a jolly, fun loving girl. John Dick, the third son, loved music and had a beautiful voice, also a beautiful character. He died at twenty-two years. James Dick, fourth son, was a serious young man, had a good bass voice but was too timid to use it. Alexander Robertson Dick, 5th son, was the finest one of them all, acting as second mother at different times to many of them, always willing to go and help out, although in the later years his hearing became a hindrance and made him timid. He also loved music and lead the choir for a number of years. William used to jokingly liken him to 'Andre Mauckum', an old choir leader in Scotland. Walter Scott Dick, the 6th son, was a fine upstanding man, good looking and good acting. He taught school for a number of years, everyone liked Walter. Maggie Kay Dick, the 3rd daughter, was spared to be a help to Mother Dick in her declining years. Mother Dick's older sister, Auntie Law, kept a little shop. She and Aunt Bella Kay took an 'Inn' where sea captains boarded. They did a thriving business for awhile. Auntie Law had married Robert Law, a Sea Captain, and settled in London a few years before the Dick family went there. Aunt Bell Kay made her home there. Robert law died after he and Aunt had been married eight years. The younger Dick children went to school in London, all except Walter and Maggie. Maggie had a cleft palate and never could talk very plain.

After landing in Boston, the family came to St. Charles, MO, where
they lived for two years, coming to Jasper Co., MO in 1868. They landed at Peter Orrs, he and his wife, Agnes (Shanks Thom) Orrs, being Scotch, welcomed them as relatives and made them feel at home at their farm on North Fork near Medoc, MO., where was formed a friendship which lasted during the lives of both families.

Father John Dick died soon after coming here. This part of Missouri was full of malaria at that time, and the change, with too strenuous work and worry and insufficient and unsuitable food did their work. The family had chills, at one time all were down but Sandy, who ministered to the rest. Father Dick had a congestive chill, he died the next fall after coming to Medoc (1869).



Father John Dick, son of William Dick and Isabella (Wilkie) Dick, was born about 1813, at Croftsgairy, near Aberdour, Feleshire (sic) Fifeshire, Scotland. He married Margaret Kay Dick of the parish of Markwich - sic- Markinch, February 1st, 1848, at Balhernie Mills, Fefershire, Scotland by Rev. Johnston, Minister.

John married Margaret Kay on 1 Feb 1848 in Markinch, Fife, Scotland. Margaret (daughter of R. Kay and A. Blyth) was born on 28 Jan 1820 in Leslie, Fifeshire, Scotland; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes from Lillian Bowdery, Barrie, Ontario, her branch. Isabella Dick
is her gggrandmother


"Emigrated to Toronto, where she and her husband owned a confectionary store. After the store burned, they moved all 9 children and their governess to a farm North of Barrie. I think her sister Janet who was married to Robert Orok (Orock) was already living there at that time. All the rest of the Dick family stayed in Scotland. There are hundreds of descendants in the Russell line. Thanks for filling in the previous generation for me Heather" Lillian Bowdery, Barrie, Ontario Oct 28, 2003

Quotes from Lillian Bowdery, Barrie Ont.
" Some of this family didn't like the spelling and changed it to simply OROK, yet others kept the original spelling. Robert & Janet farmed in the village of MIdhurst, just North of the city of Barrie. One of the descendants, Dr. Orock, was a Doctor on some of the ships on the Great Lakes. I'm not sure of the occupation of the others. The person who is following this branch is in the early stages of her research and I don't know if she has a computer. The info following was taken from "The History of MIdhurst" and I think Dr. Orok was interviewed for this. He had retired to the family farm in Midhurst. He built a lovely log house and his den was filled with wild animal pelts on the floors and mounted heads on the walls. He was a unique character.

Son William Dick was a Universalist. He married their serving girl, who was very beautiful but she was deaf and very high tempered. He was disinherited by the family for this marriage. How much this marriage has influenced the family history is attested by the deafness and high tempers of some of the descendants.

His demise on Thursday, although expected, still came as a shock to his wife and family, who now mourn his loss deeply. Mr. Beath moved to Oro nineteen years ago from Whitby. He was an active, energetic man and took part in all live topics of the day affecting his own community or township. He was township auditor for several years and on two occasions aspired for the office of councillor. Mr Beath was twice married: five children by his first wife survive him and two children are left with the second wife to mourn the loss of a devoted father and husband. The funeral took place on Sunday. The cortege, extending over a mile was headed by the Court Evening Star, I.O.F. of which Mr. Beath was a member. The service was conducted by Rev. C.C. Claris assisted by Mr. Pearce, of Barrie. The casket was beautified by a wreath from the church, a wreath from I.O.F. and a crescent from Mr. and Mrs. John Elliott. The pallbearers were Messrs. D. Bolton, Stephen Gardner, John Elliott, Irwin Addison, John Addison and Alex. Coutts.
