Dickinson/Dickerson Family of Long Island and Saratoga County

I am researching our Dickinson family history. I have uncovered records tracing the family to James Hart Dickerson and Priscilla Rogers. James is likely the son of James Dickinson (b abt 1707 North Castle) and Mary Smith Hart. Uncertain whether James is the son of Joseph Dickinson and Hannah Carpenter (Coles).
I am looking for additional records confirming the family relationship ... and possible connection of James Hart Dickerson as a descendant of Capt. John Dickinson married to Rose Townsend.
Thank you in advance.
Mark Dickinson

My 3rd great grandfather born January 18, 1821 in Ithaca. I'm searching for information on his parents. I know that he and his widowed mother moved to Morrow County, Ohio when he was a "mere lad". He became a doctor and practiced in Mt. Gilead Ohio. He married twice - Eliza Straw in 1849, with whom he had 2 children, and Emily Cook in 1854, with whom he had 3 children. He died in Mt. Gilead Ohio June 2, 1891.

Charter of Liberties authors 1683

I'm attempting to confirm an unattributed quote in Mary Thomas Seaman's "The Seaman Family in America as Descended from Captain John Seaman of Hempstead, Long Island" (pages 20-21) (available at archive.org) indicating Captain John Seaman represented Hempstead Township at the 1683 meeting of the Governor's Council and elected township representatives and that he was on the committee that drafted the Charter of Liberties and Privileges at that time (actually Oct 17?). As best I can determine, Captain Seaman is in my family line.
