    Biography[edit]

    Dixon was born on October 27, 1808, in Beverley, England. He married Philia Carswell in 1830.[1] He immigrated to Oneida County, New York, in 1834.[2] He later owned a farm in Exeter, New York, before renting one in Buena Vista, Richland County, Wisconsin, and eventually owning another in Ithaca, Wisconsin, in 1855.[3][4] He died on October 9, 1887, and was buried in Bear Valley Cemetery in Bear Valley, Wisconsin.[1]

    Political career[edit]

    Dixon was a member of the Assembly during the 1859 and 1872 sessions.[5] Other positions he held include Chairman of the Town Board (similar to city council) of Ithaca. He was a Republican.
