Hello - Thank you for your post.
I don't know where in Virginia Hezekiah Dixon was born only that his answer to the 1880 Census says both parents born in VA and SELF born in VA.
He states in 1880 that he was 66 years old indicating a year of birth around 1814;
1860 Russell Co. KY Census he said 45;
1870 Green Co. KY Census he said 55 so it's always about the same year of birth 1814-1815.
As he states that both his parents were also born in VA their approx. date of birth could have been 1780 or so indicating these Dixons were in America early.
As far as looking at the names of his son's to get a clue as to who his father MAY have been I see his first known son was born 1845 named George W. Dixon; the next son born was in 1847 named James Dixon.
I have found the following but I cannot say with ANY certainty that the son Hezekiah mentioned in this document is MY Hezekiah....but then I can't say he is not either....
Wm. & Mary Quarterly 2nd Ser. VOl. 14 No. 1 pgl. 36-45
Many Dixson births are listed in this journal kept by Winston Dalton, a school teacher.
Shown are Ginsey Dixson b. 20 Aug. 1808; Benjamin Dixson b. unk.; HEZEKIAH born unk; Jeremiah born 5 Jan. 1814; George born unk; Jack born unk.; Nancy born 17 July 1821; Mely a daug. born unk. and James (Solomon) born 7 Feb. 1824 all were the children of James and Susannah Radey Dixson.
James Dixson and Susannah Radey were married 1 Nov. 1805 in Bedford Co., VA marriage bond on file in same. Nov. 1, 1805; James Dixon & Susanna Radey; John Arthur, Surety.(MY Hezekiah did name two of his kids James and Susan)
James Dixson was the son of William Dixson and wife Frances Toler Dixon (she was possibly married first to a Mr. Oakes).Their children were James (list above) born 22 May 1779 as shown in the Dalton Register; Jubal, Littleberry, William (who married Unity Hackwork 25 March 1817 Bedford Co. VA), John, Merredith and a daughter named Anne or Nancy.
The journal also shows Littleberry with the following family: Berry died 29 June 1815 funeral preached at Josephs Tolers house) by Rev. Shadrach Mussteen 12 July 1815 (must have been an infant, also (Toler was the maiden name of Littleberry's Mother Frances Toler Dixon); Bluford born 27 Aug. 1816; Teny a dau. born 1 Dec. 1818 and Joel born 26 Nov. 1820 died 7 Feb. 1821.These are the only entries for Littleberry's family - no wife was named.
I would like to hear your thoughts!
