Ben, Thank you for your information. Most likely if there were any Dixsons, they one way or another became Dixons as mine did by the middle of the 1800's. You wouldn't happen to know any off hand that I might be able to e-mail to see if any there were any connection, would you?

Logan's Gap is off of Scofield Road on Eagle Creek in Brown County, about a mile or two southeast of Ripley, Ohio. You may already be aware of this, but if not, I hope this is helpful to you. > >Sincerely, > >Ben Hawkins > >gm.dixon@verizon.net wrote: >This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > >Surnames: Dixon/Dixson, Bell >Classification: Query > >Message Board URL: > >http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WBB.2ACI/2935.1 > >Message Board Post: > >Ken, >Can you comment on any of the following information? From what has been passed on to me. In 1789 William Dixson, his wife Grizzy Ann Bell and four others founded a settlement in Mason county, KY. >They moved to Limestone (Maysville), KY and built a fort near Blanchard's Pond. William and Cornelius Washburn later crossed the Ohio River at Logan's Gap and erected a hut on Eagle Creek. Any information would be gratefully received and appreciated. Thank you. >George C.
