Thanks Stan That confirms what I believed to be the one that has been being talked about. I go through Dixon Springs and by Tillman's house at least 3 times per month. Do you happen to have any of the Dixon's beside Tillman in that area at any time. I am hunting for my GGGGFather, the Father to John H. Dixon who came from NC to Tenn, Jackson County in 1825+ or- a year Thanks Odie ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 8:17 AM Subject: [ROOTWALKER] Location of Dixon Creek Church. > Good morning Odie, > > Dixon Creek Church was/is located in Smith County, Tennessee. > > The first passage in the book "Dixon Creek Church, 1799 - 1807," states the > following: > "A Conference of the Members of Bro.
