Cheryl, Sorry but I have only traced my direct ancestors, who stayed in the Scottish Borders. If you have a name of a Dixon born in the period 1762 to 1771, I will look see if it could fit. Regards, Jim Graham

Didn't a lot of the Scottish Borderers after 1603 when the reiving way of life was ending becaue of the union of the crowns, move to Ulster as part of the plantation period or were encouraged to move by King James Vii/i ? Maybe why there were Nixons in both places.
