Diane - have noted your previous messages and couldn't help but respond to this. My g-g-granddad Jeremiah Coleman Dixon was married to Martha Green. He was killed as a deputy sheriff in Lowndes Co., GA around 1855. Martha later married a Richard Keen we believe in Hamilton Co., FL just below Lowndes Co. Martha and Jeremiah both came from Wilkinson Co and I'm now wondering if Richard also came from Wilkinson Co. Think I recall that your husband wasn't a descendant of the Wilkinson Co. Dixon's and I haven't researched the Keen's since Richard isn't in my direct line. But finding out that he was also originally from Wilkinson Co. would provide some insight as to how Martha met and married Richard. He died not long after their marriage from CW wounds near Richmond, VA. They had a son in 1859 before he joined the Confederates and all 3 (I think Richard is) are buried at Hickory Grove Cemetery near Madison Co., FL. Well, probably a bit more than you had in mind but would be interested if you note any connections.
