Notice biographique
John Dixon, possibly of England, was born ca. 1781. In 1816 he married Sarah Roper (born ca. 1792) of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. The couple eventually settled in what would become known as Highfield, four miles north-west of Charlottetown in Winsloe, Lot 33. John Dixon is listed variously as having been a farmer, well-digger, and retailer of liquor. At one time he held an appointment as fence viewer for the Malpeque and North River Roads. John and Sarah had nine children: Alexander (b. 1817), Daniel (b. 1818), John (b. 1820), George (b. 1822), James (b. 1824), Ann (b. ca. 1825), Sarah (b. ca. 1830), and Susan (n.d.). John died 9 July 1858. Sarah passed away 20 March 1882.
Historique de la conservation
Présentation du contenu
The fonds consists of an undated, anonymous ninety-eight page family history of the descendants of John Dixon and Sarah Rooper and a two-volume Dixon family Bible. The family history contains background information on John Dixon and Sarah Rooper and their nine children. The document includes endnotes regarding sources and a name index. The family Bible contains one and a quarter pages of vital statistics information concerning the descendants of John and Sarah (Roper) Dixon. The information records dates from 1817 to 1865. The Bible also features signatures and dates of various family members inside the front and back covers. The Dixon family Bible appears to be the product of early Prince Edward Island printer and publisher John Henry White. While earlier versions of this Bible were published in Halifax, the title page of the second volume's New Testament indicates that this version was of "Charlotte-Town [sic], P.E. Island: Printed and Published by John H. White". Both volumes contain small plates inside their front covers reading "J. S. Bremner, Binder, Charlottetown".
