This death certificate is for the Wesley Dickisson who married Anna Schoonover in March 1866 in Sussex County, New Jersey. Anna Schoonover (1851-1917) was the daughter of Elijah and Sarah (Auble) Schoonover, and is one of the heirs of Elizabeth Auble (1814-1899), her mother's sister.
From this record, an approximate birth date for Wesley Dickisson can be estimated as August 1844.
My thanks to Michelle Tucker Chubenko for finding this record for me at the New Jersey State Archives.
