Biography

Timothy Dimock (April 17, 1799 – April 29, 1874) was an American physician and politician who was the father or prominent lawyer and businessman Henry F. Dimock.

Early life and career

Dimock was born on April 17, 1799 in Coventry, Connecticut to Daniel Dimick (1765-1833) and Anna Wright (1766-1832). He had eight siblings. Dimock graduated from Yale Medical School in 1823.

He practiced medicine in Coventry since taking his degree. In 1846, he was a member of the Connecticut State Senate, and ex officio one of the Corporation of Yale College.

He was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives in 1838 and the Senate in 1846. During the 1850s and 1860s, he served as surgeon for parts of Connecticut's militia, empowered to grant medical waivers for exemption of duty.

Personal life

On June 29, 1826, Dimock married Mary Ann Moody (1810–1838). Together they had a daughter.

After Moody's death in 1838, he married Laura Farnam Booth (1819-1872) on May 8, 1839. Together they had:
