There is a document in the Orange Co., court minutes dated in the late 1770's that include a list of Orange Co., residents that the locals felt did not support the revolution and may have provided supplies to the "other side". The courts asked them to sign an oath of allegience. A lady on AOL had posted it about a year and a half ago. Sorry I don't have it but I thought it was very interesting since it contained several Dixons and Pattersons and many more....it was quite a list. Since I've been unable to locate the parents and other sibling of the Dixon brothers I'm working on, I thought it was worth checking out. I do know that the Pattersons were connected through marriage to the Boothes as well. Has anyone else seen this document?
