  1. First Wife of Isaac Dixon (1805 Ohio-1881 Lucas Iowa)

    Son of Jesse Dixon (1786 Chatham NC-1838 Jackson IN) m 1803 NC and Ruth Rains (1783 Randolph NC-1825 Jackson IN)

    Grandson of Jesse Dixon (1749 Chester PA-1810 Ross OH) and Lydia Winters (1749 - 1837) m 1772 NC

    Great grandson of Joseph Dixon (1719 New Castle DE-1769 Chatham NC) and Mary Pusey (1725 Chester PA-1796 Chatham NC)

    This says:
    Ruth daughter of Lawrence Wesley Rains (1752 Caroline VA-1823 Ross Ohio) m 1780 Randolph NC Ann McManus (1759 Randolph NC-1822 Ross OH). see this tree for Lawrence/Ann and daugther Ruth

    Ruth has a sister Rebecca W. Rains (b 1800 Randolph NC-?) who married Amos Wilkerson (1801 Chatham NC-18760 Mexico IN) in 1820 in Hocking OHIO

    This says Jesse Dixon (1779-1830) and Ruth Rains (1783-1825) had:
    Ruth 1798-1849 Juliana b 1803
    Ann b. 1803 (twins?)
    Isaac Dorman Dixon b 1805 <------looks like your guy----------------------
    Lydia b 1807
    John Dixon b 1809
    Allen S Dixon b 1811-1864
    Charlotte b 1811 or 1819-1873
    Lawrence b 1814
    Anne 1815

    This says there is another Isaac Dixon!

    This says Issac Dixon (1793 Chatham NC-1831 Ray MO) was married to Rebecca Cox (1794-1831) in 1812 in Ross Ohio and had six children:

    Lydia 1814 Ross OH
    Michal Dixon 1815 female m 1835 William Prewitt
    Jesse Dixon b 1817 Ray MO?
    Solomon Dixon b 1823 Ray MO?
    Joseph Dixon b 1826 Ray MO?
    Mary Ellen Dixon b 1827 Ray MO?

    Ross County Ohio Marriages from here confirm this: Dixon, Isaac Cox, Rebecca Nov 22, 1812 <---------------way too old to be your Isaac ----------------

    So, There are two Isaac Dixons coming from NC. One born 1793 in Chatham NC and the other (yours) born 1805 OH with both parents born in NC (from your Isaac's 1880 census below)

    this says your :
    Isaac Dixon 2nd Spouse Name: Nancy Allison (some places Ellison) Marriage Date: 15 Dec 1842 Marriage County: Jackson

    All Censuses (base data for locations):

    There is another detailed tree for Samuel Dixon and Anne Dixon's descendents. He was another son of Joseph Dixon, brother of "3.0 Jesse Dixon" above. This Samuel; also was in Ross Ohio havign come thru NC. See this

    This message board says: "Children of Jesse and wives: ...ISAAC DIXON born 1805 married 1st Rebecca Rains, 2nd Nancy Allison..."

    This also says Isaac's first wife is Rebecca Rains who was born in Randolph ? in 1798

    Looking for Rebecca Rains bc 1800 from:

    So there are 9 teenage Rains females in IN and OH named Rains on the 1820 censues above.

  2. Eli Hunter

    Lavinia Hunter m Daniel Milner Wheeler

    Birth: Jan. 26, 1824
    Matagorda
    Matagorda County
    Texas, USA
    Death: Jun. 30, 1888
    Stockdale
    Wilson County
    Texas, USA

    The first girl born in Stephen F. Austin's colony is said to be Lavinia, daughter of Eli Hunter and Sarah Bright Hunter. Eli Hunter was a member of the Old Three Hundred and early Wharton County settler. Lavinia married Daniel Milner Wheeler in 1842 in Matagorda, Texas. Daniel's father, John Wheeler, Justice of the Peace, presided over the ceremony. It was near there that they parented eleven children. Tragically, the parents outlived their children, except for Emma Thalitha Moore and Frances L. (Fanny) Killingsworth. Daniel and Lavinia were prominent members of the Tres Palacios Baptist Church in Matagorda County. They were also instrumental in its formation and growth as evidenced by the very first meeting of the church being held at their home in 1852. Late in life Lavinia and Daniel moved North to Stockdale in Wilson County, near Daniel's brothers, David Thwing Wheeler, John Edwin Wheeler, and their families. It was there that they lived out the remainder of their lives. The couple is buried alone in a pasture near the location of their last home.

    From historical accounts, it appears that nine of their children are buried near the old Wheeler homestead in Matagorda County.

    A reference from Deming's Bridge Cemetery 1850, Hawley Cemetery 1898, Tres Palacios Baptist Church 1852, Matagorda County, Texas compiled by Adelaide Hall Pierce, May, 1960:

    "The Lacy tract of land on the east bank of the Tres Palacios river later became a part of the Wheeler land, and 21 graves of the Wheelers and a few of their slaves are buried there, not far from where the old Wheeler home stood."
    Inscription: The Worry is at Rest.
    Burial:
    Wheeler Cemetery #2
    Stockdale
    Wilson County
    Texas, USA

    [this death place can't be right --- this thing doesn't make sense!]

    this makes a LOT more sense:

    Georg Adam Brecht probably accompanied his brothers to Frederick County, Virginia, about 1753, where he met and married Maria Katharina KAUFELDT (17 Jun 1733 - c1798), daughter of Johann Nicolaus Kaufeldt and Anna Grundt.. He was back in Lancaster County, PA, in April, 1754, to sell some land he inherited from his father. He was living in Baltimore County, Maryland, or York County, Pennsylvania, when his oldest son was born in 1756, but moved to Frederick County, Virginia in the summer of 1759, receiving land grants there in 1761 and 1765. It was at that time he started calling himself George Adam Bright. The other members of the Brecht Family gradually started using the name Bright, so that by the time of the Revolution, they were known as the Bright Family. George bought 170 acres in Beverly Manor, Augusta County, Virginia, in May 1767, and was granted land near South Mountain in southern Augusta County in 1781 and in 1787. He is listed on the tax lists in Augusta County from 1782 to 1804. George and Catharina attended St John's Reformed Church in Middlebrook. George and made his will 14 Apr 1804, which was proved 25 Jun 1805. He is buried in Dutch Hollow Cemetery west of Greenville. George and Catherine had nine children:

    3. Catherine Bright (c.1760) married Philip Pottoph (Potter) (1757-1834) and lived in Rockbridge County, Virginia.

    7. George Adam Bright, Jr. (c.1770 - 1835) married 4 Feb 1794 Catherine Kaufeldt (1772-1850) daughter of Valentine, and moved to Kentucky about 1814.
    8. David Bright (1770-2 Sep 1837) married 6 Jan 1799 Judith Dinsmore (1777-15 Aug 1838) and moved to Greenbrier County in 1805, then served in the War of 1812 in Vincennes, Indiana, settling in Clark County, Illinois by 1820. In 1822, he moved to Austin's Colony in the Mexican province of Tejas, settling in 1824 on his league of land (4400 acres). Died in Fort Bend County, Republic of Texas.
    9. Sarah Bright (c.1774) married 10 Mar 1794 Augustine Kaufeldt (1770-1824), son of Valentine, moved to Clark County, Ohio.

    The information on the Brecht Family is from The Bright Family of Pennsylvania, by Heber Gessler Gearhart, an undated manuscript at the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. It refers to a paper Historical Sketch of the Bright Family by A G Green, presented to the Historical Society of Berks County and published in their journal in November, 1900. This information has been supplemented with information from the Brecht/Bright Discussion group at Yahoo.

    Also above conforms to this from Handbook of Texas:

    BRIGHT, DAVID (1770–1837). David Bright, one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred colonists, was born in Augusta County, Virginia, in 1770. He married Judith Dinsmore on June 6, 1799, in Virginia. Bright and his family came to Texas from Illinois and Arkansas in 1822 and landed near the mouth of the Colorado River. On December 20, 1823, he voted in the alcalde election at San Felipe. He was one of the electors in the Colorado District in April 1824, when the Baron de Bastrop was chosen Texas delegate to the state convention of Coahuila and Texas. In 1823 and 1824 he cut brush for the chainmen of surveyor Horatio Chriesman in the Oyster Creek area of Fort Bend County. On May 10, 1824, Bright and his wife agreed that their daughter Betsy might marry Noel Roberts, and on May 24 their daughter Mary signed a marriage bond with Gabriel Straw Snider. One daughter had already married Eli Hunter, another of the Old Three Hundred. On July 15, 1824, Bright received title to a league of land on Oyster Creek in what is now eastern Fort Bend County and a labor of land that later became part of Austin County. The census of 1826 classified Bright as a farmer and stock raiser aged over fifty. His household then included his wife, a son, and a daughter. In April 1836 the Bright family and the Reels family camped near Liberty during the Runaway Scrape. Bright died on September 2, 1837. His daughter Mary Bright Snider, evidently a widow by 1837, married Patrick Reels on November 25 of that year.

  6. Eliza T. Goode or Stokes - who was she and her ancestry?
    
    Given:
    born before 1810
    married to Adam W. Bell on 23 Mar 1836, in Lunenburg County, Virginia
    census of 1810 in Amherst County, Virginia
    
    1810 census lists her as between the age of 26-45.
    It also lists a Joseph Goode between the ages of 26-45 but not on the same page as Eliza.
    *****************
    Eliza Bell listed as "divorced" in the Bradley County, Tennessee court records. Not sure if it is same Eliza Bell or not. No date given on website.

    Could possibly be Eliza T. Goode who first married Henry (or Richard Henry) Stokes. If this is true, then her parents were probably William Green Goode and Mary Tabb.
