General Notes: Husband - Joseph Dixon

---

His father was an early settler of what is now Black-lick township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, but was forced to retreat from his land there to Wallace's fort [Westmoreland County?]. Joseph, the son, returned to what is now Indiana County in 1804.

He is supposed to have been born at or near Wallace's fort, in Westmoreland County. In 1804 he came to Black Lick township, Indiana County, and settled on the land which his father owned. He had a tract of 300 acres, which he improved and cultivated, and later added 200 acres to his homestead, becoming one of the largest land owners of his day. The remainder of his life was spent on his farm, and he was laid to rest in Hopewell cemetery. He was a Whig in politics.


The source does not make clear which of his childen were born to which wife.
