My Genealogy Hound

SAMUEL DIXON, farmer, P. O. Winchester, was born December 18, 1818, in Brown County, Ohio. His parents were among the early settlers of Brown County. He was reared on a farm and received but a limited education; on June 4, 1840, he married Lettie A. Reynolds, daughter of Joseph Reynolds, who, also, was one of the first settlers of Brown County, having settled in the neighborhood of Carlisle Village at a very early day. This union has been blessed with nine children, five of whom are still living, viz.: Samuel K. married Belle M. Short, by whom he has two children — Arthur A. and Vernon C.; Columbus E. married Mary Records, daughter of Andrew and Bella Records; they have two children — Ettie L. and Myrtie; Fidelia married Aaron Edenfield, by whom she has four children — Cora, Alta, Walter and Charles; Alice married Alexander Bayless, by whom she has two children — Bertha L. and Lola B.; and Joseph B. married Elizabeth Young, by whom he has one child — Rueanna. About 1850, Mr. Dixon, with his family, moved from Fincastle, where he had been living perhaps two years, to the northeastern portion of Jackson Township, where he now resides. He has served as township Trustee, is a member of the Christian Union Church, and the owner of seventy-eight acres of land. The Dixon family are noted for their industry, perseverance and uprightness in dealing with their fellow-men.
