David R. Dixon-Pope Co. Ar.
I recently did research at the Pope Co. Library concerning
the David Dixon family of Pope Co. Ar.I found it interesting research and a very easy family to follow out in
Pope Co.My only connection to the family is:David Dixon's grandson, Homer Eldie Dixon married Sarah Lucinda
Renfroe.Eldie was the son of Jack or John Alexander Dixon and Johna America Ewing.Sarah was the daughter of Joshua Benjamin Renfroe and J. Anna Brown. Anna Brown's mother and Jack Dixon's mother were sisters:Nancy Crouch Brown and
Mary Crouch Dixon.David Dixon was murdered by John Morris on the Streets of Atkins March 30, 1875.Jack was DAvid's only son by Mary Crouch. Mary died and David Married Harriet Coffman.
Hope this report helps someone with this family.I would be glad to receive an email about it. Contact me
