"Zachariah Dicks - He is in many respects a typical incarnation of the his–
tory of Southern Quakerism. Born in Pa., he came to N. C. about 1754 and set
tled in the Cane Creek section when it was small. Here the greater part of
his life was spent. He visited the meetings, preached among them and was a
leader in the Society. He visited Europe between 1784, and 1787. He visited
South Carolina between 1800 and 1804; finally removed to Indiana and died
there. His visit to the South Carolina meetings was full of moment to them.
"He was thought to have also the gift of prophecy. The massacres of San Do-
mingo were then fresh. He warned Friends to come out from slavery. He told
them that if they did not their fate would be that of the slaughtered island-
ers. This produced a sort of panic and removals to Ohio commenced." (O'Neall,
Annals of Newberry, 40C) (R7)
