Dimock was born in Mansfield, Connecticut, the son of Shubael Dimock and Eunice Marsh.[1] [2] Dimock moved to Nova Scotia with his father in 1759, where the elder Dimock moved to escape religious persecution because of his involvement in the Separate Baptists.[2] Like his father, Dimock also became a preacher; he also served as a magistrate.[1]
Dimock was married twice.[1] [2] [3] His first marriage, to Susan Macumber, produced six children.[2] [3] Shubael and Susan's fourth child, Ichabod, also served as a member of the provincial assembly.[1] [2] Dimock's second marriage, to Grace Irish, resulted in one son.[2] [3]
Dimock died in Newport at the age of 81.[2] [3]
