OF CHARLES top of page i PREFACE ---------- The object of the writer in compiling the within pages, is to give to the present and future generations some knowledge of their ancestry; and to put on record 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 name of all, was found to be quite impracticable. The writer has personally visited numerous families, written scores and scores of letters, traveled hundreds of miles, and dilligently sought to obtain the information embodied in these pages; and while sincerely 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 may reasonably claim forbearance. 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 to any excepting 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. Circumstances, however, delayed the collection of the required information until a more recent period. Consequently it is probable many interesting events may have occured in connection with those families from whom he had obtained his information. at the period first named, which are not recorded herein. To all those 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 History of the Black Family, who kindly gave him permission to HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON top of page ii use such portion of his account of the family of Martin G. and Fanny Smith Black as he might deem advisable, 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 leniency, the compiler herewith dedicates his effort to the descendants of Charles and Susanna Dixon. J. D. D. August, 1891 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 that 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. HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON top of page 1 HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON, 1st. ----------- CHAPTER I. CHARLES DIXON came from Yorkshire, England, to Nova Scotia in the year 1772, and settled at Sackville, N.B. A paper written by himself, and dated Sept. 21st, 1773, giving 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,
near Yarm, in the East Riding of Yorkshire in Old England. I was brought up to the Bricklayer's trade
with my Father until I was about nineteen years of age, and followed that
calling till the 29th year of my age. I
then engaged in a paper manufactory at Hutton Rudby, 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 I 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,

my pretence of being a member of the church fell to the ground, I was condemned
by her articles and homilies. I had
broken my baptismal covenant, and was in fact 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 God, that Spirit
wherewith He made His children free; that I might rejoice with his chosen, and
give thanks with his inheritance. At

hand-writing upon the flyleaf of his family bible: "Sackville, N.B., " HISTORY

foregoing paper and records contain all that Mr. Dixon wrote respecting his
own, or his family history. While the
writer deems himself fortunate in the possession of these papers, he deeply
regrets that Mr. Dixon did not leave on record some farther information
respecting his parents, his brothers and sisters, and their families. He had a brother Edward, with whom he kept up
a correspondence after coming to Charles Dixon very soon became an active and prominent HISTORY
OF CHARLES HISTORY
OF CHARLES top of page 7 citizen of the community in which he had fixed his new home. He doubtless possessed some traits of character to be esteemed and admired. He was prompt in decision, firm of purpose, industrious, intelligent and conscientious in the discharge of his duties, and what his hand found to do, he did with 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 paper mill had given him an aptitude for business, which would materially aid in qualifying him for efficiently discharging the duties of the positions he was so soon called upon to fill. He was called upon almost immediately to act as administrator of several Estates, among which was that of George Dobson, of Point De 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 solemnize matrimony, 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 Province of New Brunswick, notably the counties of Westmoreland and Albert) who settled at Sackville, 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 to enable them to make a start. What amount of funds Mr. Dixon brought HISTORY

would be interesting to know the names of the passengers with Charles Dixon,
and his family, in the ship Duke of York.
We are informed there were seventeen families, only one of which, 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 property on Coles' Island, of a Mr.
Alvason, where they settled and became the founders of the extensive and
respectable family of that name, many of whom are still residents of
Sackville. William Freeze, and wife, and
his wife's brother, George Bulmer, (who was a lad of twelve years) were also of
the number of the same ship's company.

a sister of Mrs. Humphrey, to come to HISTORY
OF CHARLES HISTORY
OF CHARLES top of page 10 Very soon after the arrival of Mr. Dixon and the other English families who proceeded [preceded] or immediately followed him, the Revolutionary War broke out. As a large proportion of the inhabitants of Sackville, 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 surprising 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 besieged Fort Cumberland. That enterprise however was soon abandoned, and they found more congenial employment in raiding the homes of the loyal and peaceable inhabitants, 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 unwelcome 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 solemn oath never to divulge to any one the place of concealment. These incidents may serve to remind us of some of the perils and difficulties our HISTORY

the close of the revolutionary war, the population of Very

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 Commissioner 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." HISTORY

OF CHARLES top of page 12 Amos Botsford was the only other representative for the County until 1793, when four members were allowed to Westmoreland, and Amos Botsford, Thomas Chandler, William Black and Thomas Dickson were elected. Whether Mr. Dixon was a candidate for re-election in 1793 or otherwise the writer is not informed, nor does he know who beside Mr. Botsford and Mr. Dixon were the candidates of the first election. It is probably some other candidate had received more votes than he, including French, which when found to be illegal were stricken off, and Mr. Dixon became entitled to the seat. The revenue of the Province the first year was about £2500, 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 Legislature he was appointed
Collector of Customs and acted in that capacity some years. In the year 1788, he built a brick house, all
the lumber for the floors and finishing of which was brought by water
conveyance from the state of HISTORY

A Baptist church came en masse in the year 1763 and located at Sackville, other persons followed, and in the year 1765 the first grant of lands in Sackville was issued by the Government of Nova Scotia to these people, some of whom had served in the war against the French and were thus in part remunerated for such service. The whole parish of Sackville was thus granted and the holders of the said lands were the people to whom Mr. Dixon refers as being anxious to sell their lands and leave the country. The advent of the English immigrants who responded to Governor Franklin's proposals, and settled at Sackville, gave 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 sell out to them, and others returned to their native country leaving their lands unsold. Of the long list of persons whose names were contained in the original grants of Sackville, those who remained permanently are represented by the names of Ayr, Cole, Estabrooks, Killam, Read, Tingley, Smith, Seaman and Ward. The
names of the English immigrants who settled at Sackville are HISTORY
OF CHARLES HISTORY
OF CHARLES top of page 14 Reference to Mr. Dixon's ledger supplies us with facts which though in harmony with the wants of society at that age, would be sadly at variance with present conditions. One 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 her services was a gallon of rum. Another shows that he purchased several negro slaves at Halifax, 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 subsequently gave his liberty, and thenceforth paid regular wages. This faithful old servant the writer can well recollect. He lived with Charles Dixon, Junior, after the death of his old master, and when dying, said he wished to be buried somewhere near his old master. Mr. Dixon's house was a home for the early Methodist preachers, to whom he always gave a warm and hearty welcome. 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 influence 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 HISTORY

is proper that a few lines should be given to a notice of Mrs. Dixon, whose
maiden names was Susanna Coates. But
little is known with reference to her family.
She was however a connection of an eminent thread manufacturing 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 Trenholm. They settled at Point De Bute, and lived to
advanced age, and were progenitors of the numerous families of that name now
living in Westmorland and Mr. Dixon was a man of medium height, strongly built, and well proportioned, possessing an excellent constitution, HISTORY

William
Chapman who married Mary Dixon in the year 1780, was a mechanic, who worked at
the carpenter trade during the largest portion of his life. He did the joiner work of the brick house
