    1. [OKMAJOR] History of Major County: DIXON
    2. Russell Laird
    3. I'm looking for the DIXON family of Major County, OK. They were there beginning shortly after 1900. William Dixon m. Mary Florence Strong in 1866 in Reno Co., KS. I don't know when William died, but Mary F. Dixon's name is on a quarter-section of the Major Co. Township Map of (I think) 1907. She is listed as a widow on the Woods Co., OK, 1900 census. The Dixon children are Ralph E., b. 1887; May, b. 1889; Leo A., b. 1891; and Adda J., b. 1893. Also living with Florence and her children was her father, Thomas Vanburen Strong, who d. Dec. 17, 1912, and is buried, according to information I've been given, "in the Dixon plot, Block 2 Lot C in Ames, Oklahoma." I don't know the name of the cemetery. Anyone know anything about these folks? Thomas V. Strong is my gggf. Florence's brother William is my ggf. Thank you, Russell Laird rlaird@1starnet.com
