Samuel Erskine Dimmick (December 24, 1822 – October 11, 1875) was a Pennsylvania lawyer, active in Republican politics.
[1][2] In addition to his regular practice, Dimmick was attorney for the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, county commissioners, and the Honesdale Bank.
Several of Alpheus' brothers were also lawyers, including Dan, two of whose sons, Milo Melankthon and William Harrison, served in the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.
[4] The direct Dimmock line in the Americas dates to as early as 1635,[5] and claims descent from the British Dymoke family of hereditary King's Champions.
[1][2] After his death, first son Walter Erskine would marry Mary Scott Lord, daughter of the chief engineer of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company, but die of typhoid three months later.
