• Notes

  Bio writen by Garth Nelson Dixon. Borrowed from his tree at Genealogy.com: The Dixon Family history begins with a United Empire Loyalist named Dixon or Dickson, who came to Canada about 1786 and settled in the Dundas/ Stormont/ Prescott County areas of the Ottawa Valley. At this point, little is known of the Dixons until about 1880. About this time, a Jacob Dixon from Pendleton County Prescott, eloped with Helen Maria Gates of Caledonia Township, Prescott County. It is believed that Jacob Dixon's family owned a hotel or tavern in Pendleton. Following their marriage, Maria and Jacob lived at Pendleton Station, where Jake owned a store. They had 4 sons, George Albert, Herbert Nelson, William Oscar and John Leslie. Some years later, the family moved to Winchester, Dundas County, where Jake owned a Hotel. In later years, he also started a wooden pump business in partnership with his son, John Leslie. Prior to 1918, this business became one of undertaking and furniture. Jake may also have owned a livery stable in Ottawa at some point. Jake Dixon died in 1925 and was buried in the family plot at Maple Ridge Cemetery just west of Chesterville, Dundas County, Ontario. Helen Maria died in 1951 and is also buried in Maple Ridge Cemetery. The Dixon home on Church Street in Winchester is now a bakeshop. Family names included in the Family Tree are Gates, McCauley, Latimer & Wylie. (Research):according to the 1861 census, Jacob was about two years younger than John - born about 1853. The 1881 census has them listed as Dickson
