The Dimock (Dymoke) family was an important contributor to the history of England, United States and Canada. The Dymokes of England are best known for their association since 1377 with the title of King’s Champion by virtue of which they held the manor of Scrivelsby, in Lincolnshire, England. Our line is believed to have been connected to Sir Edward Dymocke (ca. 1555–1634) of Scrivelsby, Lincolnshire.
Following religious persecution in England, Elder Thomas Dimmock (1604–1658), was the first Dimmock to settle in New England on American soil in 1635 in the Cape Cod, Massachusetts area. Then still experiencing religious persecution, the Dimmock family, led by Rev Shubael Dimock III (1708–1781) and his son Rev Daniel Dimock (1736–1805), were among the first settlers from New England, known as Planters, and migrated to Newport, Nova Scotia, Canada in October 1759.

The noted Baptist minister Joseph Dimock (b. 11 Dec. 1768 in Newport, N.S.), was the son of Daniel Dimock and Deborah Bailey (Baley, m. 21 Aug. 1798 Betsy Dimock), and they had at least 11 children (d. 29 June 1846 in Bridgetown, N.S.).
Another son of Rev. Daniel Dimock, Harris A. Dimock (1793–1851) resettled to St. Martins, New Brunswick where his grandson LeBaron Dimock (1863–1949) was born and moved to Havelock, New Brunswick where our direct descendants lived.
Besides documenting the important lineage of LeBaron Dimock, this work also contains the fascinating memoirs of his daughter, Georgia Luella Dimock (1900–1996), who worked and travelled as a private nurse in the United States from 1920 to 1961.
