Surnames: Dixon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VRB.2ACE/1755 Message Board Post: searching for what happened to parents about 1827 of Mary Dixon b. 1813 at Livingston, NY, Sarah Dixon b. 1820, and Joseph Dixon. Mary went to live with Shakers at age 14, Sarah was sent to live with an aunt and then adopted by John B. Vedder of Lee, Mass., and it is unknown what happened to Joseph Dixon. By 1850 he was "formerly of Hudson, NY." Also searching for first names of parents. Mother was surnamed Chaplin. Thanks for any clues! Susan Bankhead
