The Dixon family has been sketched in, based on the book History and Stories of Clyde River, pages 58-64.
The Islander: APR. 05, 1850, MARRIED AT CHARLOTTETOWN ON THE 4TH INST., BY THE REV. ROBERT MACNAIR; GEORGE DIXON OF LOT 31 TO ELIZABETH ATKINSON, OF PINETTE.
Down by the Bonnie Bannockburn Stream, over 100 years ago, George Dixon, a miller from Bannockburn-on-the-Tweed, Scotland, selected a site for a saw mill and afterwards a grist mill, hewing the virgin forest to make a clearance for these and a home. Prosperity attended his efforts and at his death his estate consisted of a valuable mill property and over 250 acres of land. This inheritance passed to his sons George D., Miller and Alex and Mackieson, farmers. Their sisters were Mrs. Archibald Livingston, Clyde River; Mrs. Harry Brown, St. Eleanors, and Mrs. Joseph Dixon, Boissevain, Manitoba.
George D. Dixon retired from the milling industry, selling to John Scott and sons. His widow Mrs. Jessie MacKay Dixon resides in Charlottetown.
Alex Dixon's farm too passed into other hands, his only son George A. Dixon removing to San Francisco. Mrs. John F. Simmonds St. Avard's is a sister of George.
Mackieson Dixon's estate passed to his only son George Mackieson Dixon, who, with his small sons Keith and W. Boyd, are the only descendants on PEI of George Dixon from "Bannockburn-on-the-Tweed" to bear the Dixon name. Mrs. W. E. McKinley, North River, and Mrs. Lee Darrach, Brandon, are sisters of George.
