    1. Re: [FLESCAMB] John Alexander Dixon
    2. Vanessa, Some of my information is different from yours and I am not saying you are wrong. I will give you what I have and maybe we can figure out what is correct. Here's what I have on Francis "Frank" Dixon b. 28 Feb 1822 Conecuh Co. AL d 3 Dec 1901 He was s/o John Dickson b. 1789 GA d 1856 Conecuh Co. AL and Martha "Patsy" Peavy b. abt 1784-1789 GA d 16 Aug 1874 Esc Co. AL. Escambia Co was cut from Conecuh Co in 1868 so they were still on the same land. Francis married Martha Ann Cobb on 7 Nov 1844 in Conecuh Co. AL She was b 2 Apr 1827 FL d bef 1883. I question your death date for her because Frank married Mary Jane Maine on 6 Jul 1883 Esc Co. AL. She had been married to Martha Ann Cobb's brother Stephen Riley Cobb. Frank's will was written 21 Jul 1900 and names her as executrix. Mary Jane married his brother Eli Augustus (my 2ggf) on 15 Nov 1906. I show Martha Ann Cobb's parents as Athal Seaborn Cobb and Martha McMellon. Frank and Martha's children were: Most of this information about the children came from my Uncle Abe's family Bible. 1. Sylvester K. b. 26 Sep 1847 2. Silverton M. b. 30 Jul 1850 (notice you show this as the death date for Sylvester) I believe you may be correct as what is left of the Bible is very hard to read and sometimes the deaths were listed separately from the births. My cousin thought that this was 2 different children but it looks like they could have been the same. 3. Florida A b. 25 Feb 1855 m on 19 Dec 1872 to Thomas Morrell. This is in the Bible. Where did you get the info that she married a Mims? 4. Frances Elizabeth b. 1859 m on 18 Feb 1874 to Francis Moody Dailey. She married her 1st cousin Wiley Benjamin Dixon (son of Eli Augustus) on 23 Dec 1880. This information is in the Bible. Please let me know what is correct in all of this. Nice meeting you, Judi
