Misc. Notes
John and Martha Dickey moved to York County after 1770, when Dickey received a grant of about 175 acres. A two-story log house was built about 1771 .

In 1844 Richard Sherer (1796-1888) bought the house and 76 acres from the descendants of Martha McNeely Dickey. Members of the Sherer family lived in the house until about 1918.

In 1988 Ruth Duncan Latham donated the house to the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. It has been restored and now serves as the park headquarters for Kings Mountain State Park.

John was an elder at nearby Bullock Creek Presbyterian Church.
