Thank you so much Jim! My great-grandmother was Alice Betsy Dewey, who married Franklin Thomas Dingmond in VT and moved the family to Western MA (where my grandmother, my father and I was born). I traced her roots back to the same Thomas in Sandwich Kent, England. I guess this means you and I are kin, which is really great because my brother and I are the last in this branch of the Dewey family tree.
If you would like my info. to see how my line fits the tree, let me know. Thanks again!
