Hi Nora
I descend from Patrick Dixon [1811], one of Thomas's [1810 /father of Elizabeth 1853] brothers. I forgot that another Elizabeth [b 20 Jul 1856] might also be a contender, and she was also a child of another brother Michael [1808] who married Ellen Peppard [1815], and lived at Crowboy.
The information came from some copy books that my gg compiled, unfortunately since lost, and also the memories of my father, and my cousins in Killyon some 30 years ago.
As to your Elizabeth, I immediately thought of the Ballyonan Dixon's but can find no Elizabeth there. The Ballyonan leg of the family commences with Gilbert [b. 1709, d. 4 Jul 1769] married Bridget [b.1706, d.31 May 1746].
Gilbert and Bridget lived at Killyon, but their son Patrick [1745] moved from Killyon to Ballyonan [land with bride?], and his son Michael [abt 1780] married Alice Foran [abt 1780]. Michael's son Patrick [1804] married Jane Duggan [b.1815, d. 19 Jan 1887]. It is their family that I looked for to match your Elizabeth, but zero. The two cousins, both Elizabeth, seemed to match your profile.
Unfortunately I have no details about husbands. but if you look at the Ellis Island Entry Books, and passenger lists, adding 19 to the dob [the earliest]to the age of Elizabeth and then 27 to the dob [the probable latest age of emigration]then you might just get a lucky break. From what I hear early American Census Lists are quite good, and could also be a source, especially a you now have a few Irish Townland names where the family was resident, Killyon [Meath] Longwood [Meath] Crowboy [Meath] Drummond [Meath] Moy Valley [both] and, of course, Ballyonan [Kildare]
Good Hunting
Michael
