PREFACE 
 
 •I 
 
 'T^HE object of the writer in compiling the witliin pnges, is to 
 -*- p;ive to tlie present and future ^generations some knowl- 
 edge of their ancestry; and to put on n^cord certain facts and 
 events connected with their history, and as far as possible to 
 record the names of the descendants of Charles Dixon down to 
 the current year. To obtain the n.'inies of all, was found to be 
 quite impracticable. The writer has personally visited numer- 
 ous families, written scores and scores of letters, traveled hun- 
 dreds of miles, and dilligently sought to obtain the informa- 
 tion embodied in these pages; .and while sin<'erely grateful for 
 the measure of success attained, he deeply regrets that further 
 greatly desired information respecting many of the families 
 proved beyond his reach. For the errors and imperfections 
 the work contains, he feels he mav reasonably claim forbear- 
 ance. The work has no claim or merit in a literary sense, 
 the object sought being a simple, brief statement of facts and 
 circumstances of little interest to any excepting the descend- 
 ants of the aforesaid Charles Dixon. It was at first intended 
 to bring the record down to the close of 1888, at which date 
 some portion of the material had been collected. Circum- 
 stances, however, delayed the collection of the required infor- 
 mation until a more recent period. Consequently it is proba- 
 ble many interesting events may have occured in connection 
 with those families from whom he had obtained his informa- 
 tion at the period first named, which are not recorded herein. 
 To all who have aided him in his search for information, (who 
 are too numerous to be recounted by name) his sincerest 
 thanks are respectfully tendered. To the author of the His- 
 tory of the Black Family, who kindly gave him permission to 
 
 /^ ^7/i>d 
 
use such portion of his account of the family of Martin G. and 
 Fanny Smith Black as he mif»:ht deem adviHa))le, and which he 
 has availed himself of to a certain extent, his acknowledgements 
 are herewith tendered. In the hope that his effort to compile 
 a family history extending: over so many years and reaching 
 the seventh generation and numbering nearly three thousand 
 persons, may be duly appreciated and its many imperfections 
 and errors regarded with much lenienc}', the compiler hei ewith 
 dedicates his effort to the des<;eudants of Charles and Susanna 
 Dixon. .1. D. I).

 N. B. The reader will observe that the figures prefixed to 
 many of the names herein mentioned, are introduced for the 
 purpose of indicating the Generation to which such persons 
 belong, and their relationship to Charles and Susannah Dixon, 
 who are accounted the first generation. Thus the figure 2 
 denotes the name is that of one of their children ; the figure 3, 
 one of their grandchildren; the figure 4, one of their great 
 grandchildren, and so on.

 CHAPTER I. 
 
 /-^[lAKLES DIXON came from Yorkshire, Enn^laiid, to Nova 
 Scotia in the year 1772, and settled at Sa(;kville, N. B. 
 A paper written by himself, and dated Sept. 21st, 1778, givinj:^ 
 some particulars of his life and history previous to that date, 
 is herein transcribed, as follows: 
 
 I, Charles Dixon, was born March 8, old style, in the year 
 1730, at Kirleavington^ iieaii-lLapffi., in the East Riding of 
 Yorkshire in Old England. I was brought up to the Brick layer' s 
 trade with my Father until I was about jiineteen yea rs of age, 
 and followed that calling till the 29th year of my age. I the n 
 engaged in a paper manufactory at Hutton Iludb y. and 
 followed that business for the space of about twelve years with 
 success. At the age of thirty-one I married Susanna Coates, 
 by whom 1 have had one son and four daughters. I was 
 brought up a Protestant, or a member of the Church of 
 England, and endeavored to demean myself as one on his 
 Christian race; to live soberly, righteously and Godly in this 
 present evil world, thinking, or at least had no doubt but I 
 should obtain heaven at last. But being at one time at 
 Robinhood's Bay, near Whitby, I went to hear Thomas 
 
2 
 
 IIISTOUV OF CHAULKS DIXON, 1st. 
 
 Seconil), a Methodist i)n»acher, so called by wny of deilslon. 
 But his preach iti«i' was siieh as I never before heard, for his 
 word was with power, it made me ery out in the bitterness of 
 my soul, wiiat must 1 do to be saved? 
 
 All my pretence of being a member of the church fell to the 
 ground, I was condemned by her articles and homilies. 1 
 had broken my baptismal covenant, juid was in fa(;t a baptized 
 heathen with a (christian name. For the space of about 
 twelve months I went mourning all my days under a sense of 
 guilt, and bowed down with the Spirit of bondage, but seeking 
 for and asking of (lod, that Spirit wherewith lie nuide Ilis 
 children free; that I might rejoice with his chosen, and give 
 thanks Avith his inheritance. At length on AVednesday, vSep- 
 tember the 21st, ITfly. while seeking and striving upon my 
 knees, the Lord proclamed his name merciful and gracious to 
 forgive my iniquities, healed all my diseases, and set my soul 
 at liberty. I was then a member of the Meth odist Society at 
 H utton R udbVj and continued so till the year 1772, being the 
 42nd year of my age. Being wearied with public business, and 
 I saw the troubles that were befalling my native country, 
 oppressions of every kind abounded, and it was very difficult 
 to earn bread, and keep a conscience void of offence, and 
 though I was involved in business without the least appear- 
 ance of being freed therefrom, until Providence so ordered it. 
 The Honorable Lieutenant-Governor Franklin of the Province 
 of Nova Scotia, at this time made some proposals for settlers; 
 an acquaintance of mine, being his agent, with whom I had 
 some intercourse. And when the advertisements came out 1 
 frequently recommended them to others, not seeing any way 
 to embrace them myself, until about two months before I 
 
 I 
 
IIISTOIIV or C'HAUr.KS I)IX()N\ 1st. 
 
 a 
 
 cniharkod <'it Liverpool. A «ientloinan I had never before seen' 
 called at my house and aMked ine some (luestions about my 
 busiiH'ss, and told me that he was informed that I was inelined 
 to embrace (lovernor Frard<lin's proposals, and if so he would 
 undertake my business and purchase my stock and interest in 
 Hutton Mills, that I mi<^ht not be retarded. I was brought to 
 think of it more seriously and f^ave him for answer that I 
 would wei«ih it more narrowly, and jiive him a deliberate 
 answer in a little time. After nmny tiiou<»:hts, and consul- 
 tations with my wife and friends, 1 came to a resolution to 
 leave all my friends and interests I wjis invested with, and ^-o 
 to Nova Scotia. The time arrived that we were to be at 
 Liverpool, an«l we reached there the 27th February, from 
 whence we sailed on the iGtii day of March, 1772, on board 
 the I)uke_i2.L_31oi:k, with sixty-two souls, men, women and 
 children, bound for Nova Scotia as settlers. My family con- 
 sisted of myself, my wife and four cMldxeii, viz: Maj'v, Charles, 
 Susajina, and Elizabeth. 
 
 We had a rough passage, none of us having been at sea 
 before; much sea sickness prevailed. After six weeks and four 
 days, we arrived at Hahfax, the capital of the Province, and 
 were received with much joy by the gentlemen in general, but 
 were much discouraged by others, and the account we heard of 
 Cumberland (tne place of our destination) was enough to 
 make the stoutest heart give way. I had, however, an eye to 
 that Providence that called and made things plain before me 
 hitherto, and frequently' told my wife all things would work 
 together for good ; not to be cast down, for I was sure we 
 should meet with good success at our journey's end, and I 
 endeavored to persuade others that He who had inclined us to 
 
IIISTOUY OF CllAKLFS DIXON. 1st. 
 
 c )tno hitlxT would Hurcly iK)t lt>ave us, if we were not wautin«^ 
 t(j ourselve.s, Throuj;li many (]is<;ourageuientH we arrived and 
 liUided at Fort Cumberland on the 2l8t day of May, and went 
 into the I'arraeks with my family until we could find a reHtin<^ 
 place. At first glance thiiiji'H wore a very gloomy aspect. 
 There were few of the inhabitants bat wanted to sell their 
 lands and go hence, I thou<»ht there must be some cause for 
 this universal discontent. The spring was very late. 1 be<::an 
 to walk about the country, and went over to 8ackville. After 
 a few days investigation, finding the cause of discontent 
 to be largely due to indolence and lack of knowledge, I 
 purchased a tract of land at Sa;-kville of Daniel Hawkins, 
 containing 25(^0 acres, for the sum of £2G0. To which [ 
 removed my family on the 8th of June. Most of the rest of 
 the settlers bought and settled elsewhere. 
 
 One thing in the inhabitants of Sackville at that time was 
 very commendable; the not forsaking, but assembling to- 
 gether to worship, though unhappily divided into parties and 
 ready to say to each other "lam holier than thou." And 
 now let us admire that Providence which has preserved and 
 brought us through many dangers from our Father's house 
 and given us a lot in a strange land and an earthly inherit- 
 ance that we never deserved or expected. Oh! that it nmy 
 excite us to gratitude and thanksgiving while we dwell in a 
 house of clay, and when this earthly tabernacle shall be dis- 
 solved may we receive an inheritance incorruptible, undeflled, 
 that will never fade away ; where the wicked will cease from 
 troubling, and where our souls shall forever rest. 
 
 N. B. — This, ni}' son Charles, is written for thy and thy 
 little sisters' instruction, that thou be not high-minded, but

 The following? is also transcribed from a record made by 
 thesame person in his own hand-writinj*' upon the tlyleaf of his 
 family bible: Sackville, N. B., 21st May, 1810. This day, 
 88 years a<2:o, we landed at Fort Cumberland from Hutton 
 Uudby, in Cleveland, Yorkshire, myself, my wife, Mary, 
 Charles, Susanna and Elizabeth, six in all, and at this day 
 the family has multiplied to ninety-four, allalive, save infants, 
 and J{uth, my daughter, who departed 29th March last, much 
 regretted by all who knew her, aged 37 years and three 
 months, but our loss is her gain. She died as i^he live<l, a 
 Christian. Thus his the mercy and goodness of God followed 
 
 us hitherto.

 May 21st, 1815. This day, forty-three years ago, we 
 landed at Fort Cumbei'land, with four children, viz: Mary, 
 Charles, Susanna, and Elizabeth. Four more are added, viz: 
 Ruth, Martha, Edward and William, all alive save a favorite, 
 Kuth, and I suppose we are multiplied to not less, at this day 
 than one hundred and thirty. But why aie we thus multiplied 
 and spared so long? Because God's mercy is over all his 
 
 works.

 The fore^oinft' pnpcr and records contain all that Mr, 
 Dixon wrote respectiii<i: liis own, or his family history. While 
 the writer deems hims(?lf fortunate in the possession of these 
 pajtcrs, he deeply regrets that Mr. Dixon did not leave on 
 record some farther information res[)ectin<»; his ])arents, his 
 bi'others and sisters, and their families, lie had a brother 
 Edward, with whor he kept up a correspondence after cominrij 
 to America, who also had a family. He for some time 
 previous to his decease, was so aitlicted with blindness, that 
 he was obliged to employ some one to write his letters to his 
 brother in America. There was also a sister, who was married 
 to a Mr. Scotson, one of whcjse dtiughters married Abraham 
 Bass, ^'ho was a tailor and draper of London, and who at 
 Mr. Dixon's suggestion came to Sackville about the year 
 l(Sl(), and built a brick house on the site now occupied by the 
 Chignecto Hall, where he kept a public house or hotel until his 
 death. There was also John Dixon, an excise officer at Hutton 
 Kudbj', with whom Charles had business relations, while he 
 was engaged in the manufacture of paper, who was probably 
 a relative. There was .also a Dixon family near the same 
 locality, who at a later period gave to the Methodist church a 
 distinguished minister, in the person of the Kev. James Dixon, 
 D. D., who it is well known, in advanced age became totally 
 blind. This latter circumstance coupled v/ith the fact that a 
 similar attiiction existed in the case of Ed\ ard Dixon, befora 
 mentioned, and also with the fact that two of Charles Dixon's 
 sons Were in advanced age similarly atHicted, as will hereafter 
 appear, tends to give colorto the probability that the families 
 had been nearly related in the not very remote past. 
 
 Charles Dixon very soon became an active and prominent 
 
IIISTOUY OF CHARLKS DIXOX, 1st. 
 
 citizen of the eoinniunit\^ in which he liad fixed his new home. 
 He doubtless possessed some traits of cliaracter to be 
 esteemed and admired. He was prompt in decision, firm of 
 purpose, industrious. intelli<i,-ent and conscientious in the dis- 
 charge of his duties, and what his hand found to do, he did 
 witli his might. He possessed an education quite in advance 
 of many of his associates and neighbors, and his twelve 
 years' training in conducting the business of the pai)er 
 mill had given him an aptitude for business, which would 
 materially aid in qualifying him for efficiently discharg- 
 ing the duties of the positions ho was so soon called upon 
 to fill. He was called upon almost immediately to act as 
 administrator of several Kstates, among which was that of 
 (Jeorge Dobson, of Point I)e Bute, and one of Thomas Copple, 
 of Petticodiac. He was also appointed a Justice of the peace 
 in 1775, and Judge of the common pleas in 1778. As a Justice 
 of the peace he had a large portion of the business of the 
 Parish to perform for a lengthy period. He was also 
 authorized to solemniz3 matrimonv, and performed that duty 
 for many of the early inhabitants. 
 
 Mr. Dixon was among the first of the English immigrants 
 to what was then called Cumberland, Nova Scotia, (which 
 included not only the present County of Cumberland, but also 
 a large portion of the l*rovince of New Brunswick, notably the 
 counties of Westmoreland and Albert) who settled at Sack- 
 ville. and believing that he had done wisely himself, he 
 encouraged others of his Yorkshire acquaintance to follow his 
 example; and when they arrived, aided them by his counsel, 
 and in some instances with pecuniary assistance toenablethem 
 to make a start. What amount of funds Mr. Dixon brought 
 
1 
 
 8 HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON, 1st. 
 
 from Enj^laiid is unknown, Imt beside the amount he paid for 
 his land, he expended nearly as much in the purchase of stock 
 of various kinds. He bouglit of Daniel Hawkins all his stock, 
 consisting of horses, oxen, cows, young cattle and sheep. Of 
 the latter he had more than a sufficiency, for he began imme- 
 diately to lend them to his newly arrived acquaintances, to be 
 returned, with their double in three vears. As he still had 
 funds to lend to his fellow immigrants, it is probable he was 
 possessed of about a thousand pounds when he left England. 
 
 It would be interesting to know the names of the pass- 
 engers with Charles] Dixon, and his family, in the ship Duke of 
 York. We are informed there were seventeen families, only 
 one of whi(;h, so far as known, settled in Sackville beside Mr. 
 Dixon. Thomas Anderson, with his wife Mary, who were 
 married just previous to their departure from England, and 
 who, after living for a year or so with Mr. Dixon, bought a 
 a property on Coles' Island, of a Mr. Alvason, where they 
 settled and became the founders of the extensive and respect, 
 able family of that name, many of whom are still residents of 
 Sackville. William Freeze, and wife, af»d his wife's brother, 
 Cjeorge Bulmer, (who was a lad of twelve years) were also of 
 the number of the same ship's company. Mr. Freeze first 
 located at or near Andiurst, N. S., hut finally settled at Sussex, 
 Kings county, N. B., and became the founder of a numerous 
 respected and influential family. George Bulmer, after com- 
 pleting his term of service with his brother-in-law Freeze, 
 came to Sackville, purdiased a property adjoining Mr. Dixon, 
 and nmrried into his family as will hereafter be seen. 
 
 For some years after Mr. Dixon came to Sackville he was 
 engaged in a small way in merchandise, purchasing his 
 
HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON. 1st. 
 
 9 
 
 goods and supplies, nnd marketing the surplus products of 
 his farm at Hnlifax. This caused him to make occasional 
 journey's to that city, going frequently by the wa of Parrs- 
 boro and Windsor. On one occasion he met some old 
 acquaintances in the persons of William and Jane Hum- 
 phrey, who were then settled at Falmouth, N. S. Many 3'ears 
 subsequently, after the death of Mr. Humphrey in 1795, Mr. 
 Dixon advised Mrs. Humphrey to remove with her family of 
 three sons and two daughters to vSackville, offering her a lot 
 of his land situated on the main road through the village. 
 Mrs. Humphrey accepted the offer promptly. A house was 
 erected upon the lot, and in due time was occupied by herself 
 and fanily. She was evidently a ca[)able woman. She com- 
 menced very soon to keep a public house, so called, and her 
 house was for many years a kind of headquarters where much 
 of the semi-public or parish business was transacted. Mr. 
 Dixon continued to hold his Justices courts there until within a 
 brief period of his death. The place is now known as the farm 
 of the late Christopher Humphrey. 
 
 Long previous to the removal of Mrs. Humphrey to Sack- 
 viUe, Mr. Dixon had encouraged John Richardson and his 
 wife, whose maiden name was Mary Flintoff, and who was a 
 sister of Mrs. Humphreys to come to America, and who came 
 out in the year 1774, and were then comfortably settled 
 beside Mr. Dixon. One of Mr. Richardson's family was born 
 on the ocean voyage, and was named Joseph Providence. 
 The tirsc name for the captain of the ship, and the second for 
 the ship. John and Mary Richardson, above named, are the 
 founders of the various families of that name in and around 
 Sackville.

 HISTORY OF CHyNKLES DIXON, 1st. 
 
 Very soon jifter the arrival of Mr. Dixon and tlie otlier 
 English families who pre-ce (led or immediately followed him, 
 the Revolutionary War broke out. As a large proportion of 
 the inhabitants of Saekville, at that period, were natives of 
 Massachusetts, and the adjoining' Colonies, and had only been 
 absent from their native country a few years, it is not sur- 
 prisin<>; that some of them should be inclined to sympathise 
 with the Revolutionists, and actively espouse their cause; and 
 aided and encouraged by a force from Calais they for a. time 
 beseiged Fort Cumberland. That enterprise however was 
 soon abandoned, and they found more congenial employment 
 in raiding the homes of the loyal and peaceable irdiabitants, 
 plundering them of such articles as they were in need of, and 
 destroying or carrying away any guns or ammunition they 
 might find. Mr. Dixon's home did not escape their unwelcome 
 notice. His house was robbed of many valuable articles, 
 some of which he kept for sale. For a considerable period the 
 loyal inhabitants, notably the English settlers, were subjected 
 to a state of anxiety, and lived in dread of a repetition of such 
 unv^elcome visits. On one occasion when some of these people 
 were approaching the house, Mrs. Dixon hastily gathered up 
 her silverware and other valuables and deposited them in a 
 barrel of pig feed, where they quite escaped the notice of the 
 visitors. On a later occasion, when somewhat similar 
 troublous times existed, Mr. Dixon, with the aid of his negro 
 servant Cleaveland, hid his money and other valuables in the 
 earth ; binding his servant by a solenm oatlTnever to divulge 
 to any one the place of concealment. These incidents may 
 Herve to remind us of some of the perils and difficulties our

 ancestors wero ('OinpelltMl to encounter very soon after their 
 arrival in the country. 
 
 At the close of the revolutionary war, the i)opulation of 
 Nova Scotia was largely increased by the arrival of the Loyal- 
 ists, many of whom settled at St. John and in that vicinity, 
 and some came to Sack ville, and others to Amherst and the 
 adjacent localities. There was another class of persons who 
 preceded tiie Loyalists, who came from the New England 
 states, and some of whom settled at Sackville, who were 
 termed refugees. Thes(\ it is understood, were not obliged to 
 leave their native land because of their loyalty to the Crown 
 and government of Lngland. It can be truly said however, 
 that the descendants of some of this class are now to be 
 found among the most industrious and prosperous of our 
 citizens. 
 
 Very soon after the close of the war, the Province of Nova 
 , Scotia was divided, and what is now known as the Province of 
 New Brunswick was given a separate government. 
 
 An extract fro'u the journals of thetirst session of the 
 Legislature held at Parr Town, (now St. .John) in January 
 178G, is here inserted and is as follows: "The consideration of 
 the Sheriff's return for Westmoreland, being referred to a com- 
 nnttee, the chairman reports, that the French votes are illegal, 
 and that Charles Dixon was entitled to take his seat." And 
 on February 7th, Charles Dixon appeared in the House, "And 
 it was ordered that Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Paine, attend to see 
 him qualified before the Comnnssioner for that purpose, who 
 reported they had attended to that duty, and that Charles 
 Dixon was duly qualified, and thereupon ordered that he take 
 his seat."

 IIISTOKY OF CHARLES i)lXON, 1st, 
 
 Amos Botsford was tlie only otiier represenfative for tlie 
 County until 1798, when four members '.vere allowed to West- 
 moreland, and Amos Botsford, Thomas Chandler, William 
 Black and Thomas Dickson were elected. \>'iiether Mr. Dixon 
 was a candidate for re-election in 1793 or otiierwise the writer 
 is not informed, nor does he know who beside Mr. Botsford 
 and Mr. Dixon were the candidates at the first election. It is 
 probable some other candidate had received more votes than 
 he, including: French, which when found to be illeg'al were 
 stricken off, and Mr. Dixon became entitled to the seat. The 
 revenue of the Province the first year was about 'C2')0(), out of 
 which a grant was made to open a road to Westmoreland. 
 The necessity for such grant was doubtless apparent by the 
 fact that it required two weeks to inform Mr. Dixon of his right 
 to the seat, and to enable him to appear at Parr Town. 
 
 Shortly after Mr. Dixon ceased to be a member of the Leg- 
 islature he was appointed Collector of Customs and acted in 
 tliat capacitv some vears. In the vear 1788, he built a brick 
 house, all tlie lumber for the floors and finishing of which was 
 brought by water conveyance from the state of Maine. There 
 was abundance of timber near at hand certainlj'^, but the ab- 
 sence of mills for its manufacture uo doubt necessitated that 
 course. There is a building still standing owned b^^ Mr. John 
 E. Bowser, tlie boards of a portion of which also came from 
 Maine at about the same time. A few lines of explanation in 
 reference to the discontent which Mr. Dixon speaks of as being 
 universal, may here be in order. After the expulsion of the 
 French from Nova Scotia in 1700, efforts were made bv the 
 English authorities to induce persons living in the New Eng- 
 land Colonies to come and occupy these vacant lands, and in

 17'>H and subsequently (iovernor Lnwrence held out strong; 
 inducements which were to a certain extent successful. A 
 Baptist church came en masse in the year 17<»'i and located nt 
 SaokvillM, other persons fcjllowed, and in the year 17G5 the 
 first ji,rant of lands in 8ackville was issued by the Government 
 of Nova Scotia to these people, some of whom had served in 
 the war af]^ainst the Fi'ench and were thus in part remunerated 
 for such service. The whole i)arisli of Sackville was thus 
 <;'ranted and the holders of the said lands were the people to 
 whom Mr. Dixon refers as beinii' anxious to sell their lands and 
 It'Mve the country. Tlie advent of the Enjflish imnii;i:rants 
 who responded to Governor Franklin's proposals, and settled 
 at Sackville, j>:ave some of these people an opportunity to sell 
 out and leave. At a later period when the Loyalists came 
 others of them found opportunity to sellout to them, and 
 others returned to their native country leaving their lands un- 
 sold. 
 
 Of the long list of persons whose names were contained in 
 the original grants of Sackville, those who remained perma- 
 nently are represented 1)3' the names of Ayr, Cole, 
 Estabrooks, Kilham, Head, Tingley, Smith, Seaman and 
 Ward. 
 
 The names of the Etiglisii immigrants who settled at Sack- 
 ville are Anderson, Atkinson, Bowser, Buhner, Cornforth, 
 Dixon, Fawcett, Harper, Patterson, Richardson and Wry. 
 ^lost of whom were Methodists in their religious views. Those 
 who settled at Point De Bute bore the names of Dobson, 
 Chapman, Carter, Lowerison, Siddall, Trueman, Oulton, 
 Trenholm, and others, many of whom were also Methodists, 
 and others strongly attached to the Church of England.

 Reference to Mr. Dixon's le(lfi:er supplies us witli facts 
 which tliough in hnrmony witli the /.nits of society at that 
 ix^e, would be sadly at variance with present conditions. On*- 
 or two of these may not be uninteresting. One entry shows 
 that he hired a servant girl for the sum of nine pounds a year. 
 And that one of the articles she required in payment for lici- 
 services was a gallon of rum. Another shows that he pur- 
 chased several negro sliives at Hnlifjix, one of whom he sold 
 to his friend, the Honorable Amos Botsford, at the same 
 price he paid; another to his friend, Major Wilson, on similar 
 terms, and one named Cleveland he retained for himself, for 
 whom he paid the sum of sixty pounds, and to whom he sub- 
 8equentl3'' gave his liberty, and thenceforth paid regular wages. 
 This faithful old servant the writer can well recollect. Hi? 
 lived with Charles Dixon, .lunior, after the death of his old 
 master, and when dying, said he wished to be buried some- 
 where near his old master. 
 
 Mr. Dixon's house was a home for the early Methodist 
 preachers, to whom he always gave a warm Jind hearty wel- 
 come. He was also one of the active members who erected 
 the first Methodist church in Sackville, within whose walls he 
 continued to worship until the infirmities of old age compelled 
 his absence. 
 
 He, and his neighbor, William Cornforth, whose land 
 adjoined, jointly set apart about four acres of land for a 
 Methodist parsonage. A circumstance which had its intluen(;e 
 in making Sackville the head of a circuit at that time. 
 Previous to his death a brick house was erected on the lot so 
 set apart, in the erection of which he also took a lively 
 interest, and one of the latest of his efforts at writing con-

 tained iiLstrnctions to his cxociitors to sell certain artii les of 
 his personal property and apply the proceeds to assist in 
 furnish in<2; the parsona<i,'e. 
 
 It is proper that a few lines should he o;iven to a notice of 
 Mrs. Dixon, whoso maiden name was Susanna Coates, Hut 
 little is known with reference to her family. She was however 
 a connection of an eminent thread nmnufacturin<2: firm of that 
 name in Manchester, and one of her younger sisters named 
 Isabella, came to Nova Scotia about the same time she did, 
 as the wife of John Trenhobn. Tiiey settled at Point De Bute, 
 and lived to advanced age, and were tin? progenitors of the 
 numerous families of that name now living in Westmoreland 
 and Cumberland and adjacent counties. The writer is of the 
 opinion that the Coates family or families who came to Nova 
 Scotia at about the same time Mr. Dixon came, and settled at 
 Amherst and in King's county, were also relatives of Susanna 
 and Isabel Coates. Mr. Dixon had (piite extensive business 
 relations with a William Coates for a nundjer of years after he 
 came to Sackville, and for whom he proVnibly named his 
 youngest son, Mrs. Dixon was blessed with a strong and 
 vigoi'ous constitution, and also in a marked degree possessed 
 the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit. She cheerfully and 
 patiently endured the discomforts and privations incident to 
 pioneer life, while diligently discharging her duties as wife and 
 mother. She was somewhat low in stature, though capable of 
 an unusual amount of physical endurance. She was some 
 nine 3'ears younger than her husband, but survived him as 
 many years. 
 
 Mr. Dixon was a man of medium height, strongly built, 
 and well proportioned, possessing an excellent constitution, 
 
10

 capable of f^reat physical exertion, and lived to ripe a«^e. His 
 death occured August 2l8t, 1817. Mrs. Dixon died June 13th, 
 1826. Each of them in the 88th year of their age. Near the 
 site of the unpretentious church building which they and their 
 co-laborers erected, and within whose walls they worshiped, 
 their bodies lie buried; as do also many of the English im- 
 migrants before named, who were actively instrumental in 
 founding Methodism in Sackville. As in life they lived and 
 labored to promote a common object, in deatli they are not 
 divided.

 ^ Ellen Adelia, only daughter of Henry Chapman and Mar- 
 tha Trenholm, married Gilbert P., only son of John Black, of 
 Amherst. They had two children who died in infancy. Mrs. 
 Black also died in the year 1862, when about 22 years of age. 
 This closes the account of the posterity of Henry Chapman 
 and his wife Isabel Jones, and his second wife Martha Trenholm. 
 
 "^ John Chapman, fourth son of William and Mary Dixon 
 Chapman, married Miss Jane Jonah in the year 1817. They 
 settled at Chapman Settlement, as stated on a former page, 
 and very largely assisted in redeeming from the wilderness 
 the now flourishing settlement of that name. What hardships 
 and privations those pioneer settlers endured, without roads 
 for many years, except blazed pathways through the wilder- 
 ness which were impassable except on foot or on horseback, 
 and far distant from any other settlement, can now be only 
 faintly appreciated or understood. The two brothers, Henry 
 and John Chapman, and their brother-in-law John Greeno, 
 bravely battled with and overcame all obstacles confronting 
 them in their persistent attempt to carve out for themselves 
 productive farms and comfortable homes. The success which 
 crowned their efforts is now seen in the flourishing village 
 before mentioned, principally occupied by their descendants. 
 The children of John and his wife Jane Jonah Chapman, were 
 named William, George, Ann, John, Ruth, Henry, Silas, James, 
 Edmund, Elizabeth, Howard, Hiram, Wesley and Sylvanus; 
 one other died in childhood. John Chapman and his wife Jane 
 both died in 1883, aged 90 and 85 years respectively.

mum OF CHARLES DIM, SECOND. 
 
 CHAPTER III. 
 
 2 /CHARLES DIXON, eldest son of Charles and Susanna 
 Coates Dixon, was six years old when he left England 
 and came with his parents to Nova Sootia. He was a healthy, 
 vigorous youth, capable of any amount of physical endurance. 
 At the age of sixteen, during the closing years of the revolu- 
 tionary war, he, with other youths of Sackville and vicinity, 
 was taken to Fort Cumberland to perform garrison du-ty, and 
 acquitted themselves creditably. 
 
 In the year 1788 he married Miss Rhoda Emmerson, a 
 daughter of one of the original grantees of Sackville. At the 
 same hour of the same day and in the same house. Miss Mar- 
 tha Grace was nmrried to Ebenezer Cole. In their family were 
 included the late Michael Grace Cole, Rufus Cole, Esq., and 
 Capt. Martin Cole, all of whom were well known residents of 
 Sackville. 
 
 ^ Mr. Dixon settled on a portion of the land purchased by 
 his father of Daniel Hawkins imO apidly redeemed the same 
 from the wilderness and turned it into fruitful fields. The 
 children of Charles and Rhoda Emmerson Dixon were : 
 
 William, born August 7, 1789. 
 
 Charles, born March 22, 1791. (Died in infancy.) 
 
 Charles, born June 8, 1793. 
 
 Hannah, born September (}, 1795. 
 
 Benjamin, born December 18, 1797.

 oceurrinfji; so HOon after tii«' death of his first wife so shocked 
 the sense of propriety of Mr. Dixon's Metliodist associates 
 (for lie was a memher of the Methodist Socit^.y) as to cause 
 for a time some ostranpMnent. His ])arents, however, were 
 the more incliniMl to overlook the offenc<% inasmuch as the 
 bride heinj:; a Yorkshire Lass the alliance was i'e<iarde(l by 
 them with more favor than the former one. Doubtless they 
 believed as most Yoi'kshire i)eopIe do to the present day, that 
 there is no one quite the equal of a <»'ood Yorkshireman.

 13th of October, 1791). Their children are:—

 ~ Mr. Dixon turned his attention occasionally to various 
 enterprises quite outside of his farmlnjj: operations. He also 
 had a stron*!; desire to see some other portions of America. 
 And about the year 1803, he with a younj;- man, a nei<i]d)or, 
 named Timothy Richardson, visited the United States, 
 through which they journeyed, much of the time on foot, until 
 they reached Oiiio, and at or near the place now called Cin- 
 cinnati they had a boat constructed in which they pursued

 tlieii" j()iirii(\y to N»'\v Orleans. From tlioncc thoy took piisH- 
 a*::^ by sea to Xcw York, wliere in due time they arrived. Mr. 
 Dixon, however, t'fll ill with fever nnd ai^ue which ocenHioned 
 increased exfx'iises ;ind dchiy. Fortntiately his brother-in- 
 law, (jeorjL»'e Bnlnier, was i!i the eity, and Hnditi*:; them out 
 rendered them such pecuniary aid as they required to enable 
 them to puisne their journey homeward. They then took 
 pass!i«;e for home with one (,'a])t. Hurnham, and at Mount 
 Desert they were detaimvl by the severity of the weather 
 for a considerable time, but at length reached home in safety. 
 AVhi4her Mr. Dixon or his companion then had thoughts of 
 timiing a home in the Tiiited States, is not known. Soon after 
 his return home he made ])i»'parations for brewing ale, and 
 erected one or two stone buildings for that purpose, near 
 where the residence of .1. 1(. Kainie now stands. This enter- 
 prise not proving a success, he next turned his attention 
 to the erection of a windmill near the same spot. 
 This also proved unsuccessful, and he sub.sequently made 
 extensive preparations, and built another mill on a much 
 more expensive scale which stood near his own residence. This 
 one promised to give good satisfaction but was unfortunately 
 destroyed by fire and proved a serious pecuniary loss. In 1825 
 he with his son-in-law Mr. McKinlay, entered into an arrange- 
 ment to build a ship, upon which in the early part of 182Gthey 
 had nmde considerable piogress, when news came from Eng- 
 land of a serious <lecline in the price of ships. They then ceased 
 work, and about two years subsecjuently sold out to other 
 parties who completed the vessel. After this unprofitable spec- 
 ulation Mr. Dixon confined his attention quite successfully to 
 his farm until he sold out, and removed with liis wife and seven

 younj^est children to Oliio in tlio year 18fi7. Mr. Dixon's re- 
 moval to Ohio was duo to the fact, that he and neveral of his 
 family had recently embraced the views of the people called 
 Mormons, or Latter day Saints, and he felt it to he the only 
 safe and proper course for him to pursue. The writer has a, 
 vivid recollection of an intervi<'w that took place between Mr. 
 Dixon and his brother Edward, at whicli he earnestly ])ressed 
 upon his bi'other's consideration, his recently embraced views, 
 and faithfully exhorted him to follow his example, and warn- 
 injj; him of the foll.y and danjxer of remaining; in a country so 
 soon to be destroyed as he believed. 
 
 '^ Mr. Dixon and family left Sackville on the first day of 
 September. iHJiT, and traveled in a nntiiber of covered wagons, 
 arriving;' at Kirtland, Ohio, the place of their destination, on 
 the 14th of October, where he purchased a property and set- 
 tled his family. The year followinjz: in the autumn, he, with 
 his dauj2,hter Jane and younf2;est son, started for Missouii. 
 Soon after tiiey had crossed the Missouri River they met large 
 numbers of the Mormon people, who were being driven out of 
 that State by force, most of whom were in a most destitute 
 condition. They returned with these people to (^uincy, Ill.» 
 where Mr. Dixon hired a house and remained for the winter, 
 and liberally used his means in entertaining and relieving the 
 necessities of these poor suffering, destitute brethren. The 
 following spring he returned to Ohio, where he pursued with 
 his usual diligence and industry his occupation of farming, 
 until the spring of 1854. When he had entered upon his 89th 
 year, and had become nearly blind, he and his wife, with some 
 of the family, left Ohio for Salt Lake City. They arrived at 
 Hock Island and halted for a few days, while their party wei-e

 CHAPTER IV. 
 
 20USANNAH DIXON, the secund dauf^hter of Charles and 
 Susannah Coates Dixon, married Georg:e Bulmer, in the 
 year 1784. Mr. Bulmer, as previously stated, came when a 
 lad of 12 years of aj^e from England in the same ship with Mr. 
 Dixon and his family, and a few years subsequently, his mother 
 and several of her sons came out and settled near Amherst, 
 where some of their descendants still remain. The Bulmer fam- 
 ily is said to be of Norman descent. Mr. George Bulmer 
 purchased a large lot of land adjoining the farm of his father- 
 in-law, which he industriously improved and cultivated for 
 many years, until he became somewhat deranged, and this 
 affliction having assumed a somewhat alarming aspect it was 
 deemed necessary in the interests of his family to invoke the 
 action of the Court of Chancery ; and a decree was obtained by 
 which the property was placed in the hands of Commissioners, 
 who should control the same for the maintenance of Mr. and 
 Mrs. Bulmer and in the interest of the family. Mr. and Mrs. 
 Bulmer both survived for many years after the above action 
 was taken. Mrs. Bulmer died in 1835 aged 67 years, and Mr. 
 Bulmer in 1841 aged 82 years.

 CONCLUDING REMARKS. 
 
 T T will be observed by all who read the foregoing pages, that 
 the descendants of Charles and Susannah Dixon are very 
 widely scattered. They are to be found in almost every Prov- 
 ince of Canada and in very many of the States of the Union; 
 in Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and some have found 
 homes in Old England near the birthplace of their ancestors. 
 They are nlso to be found filling every sphere of honest indus- 
 try, and holding positions of more or less prominence in the 
 learne<l professions. While a considerable portion of them 
 have become members or adherents of other churches and 
 religious bodies, the larger portion, it is believed, are to be 
 found among the adherents of Methodi.sm, the church of their 
 ancestors. The writer recently enjoyed the unusual privilege 
 of being present at a family gathering in Utah, at which all 
 the surviving generations, (tive in number,) were represented. 
 A circumstance which enables him to state that he has seen 
 some of each of the seven generations, included in the preced- 
 ing tables.
