Hi Barbara- how very interesting that you are James Purdy's ggg granddaughter.Yes, I have read that John Dixon had a brother of that name and he definitely had a son of that name as that is the line from which I am from.
Unfortunately, we hit a road block when we get to John (the Brit) who was born in 1750 in Newcastle.We know that he came over to the US and settled in Rye,NY married Elizabeth Purdy and died in 1829.I can't seem to find any other info about him.His son John Dixon lived a very long and plentiful life out here in Illinois.I do have info. on John Dixon of Dixon , Illinois's wife, Rebecca Sherwood.We can trace her family back to England in the 1600's.There is much to tell of the Dixon history in Dixon Illinois.Where are you from and can you tell me about James Purdy's family? I am very interested.
