To: "David G. Stuart" No, I do not know of a picture of John Wesley Dixon or his brother, George Milton Dixon. William D. Dixon's middle name according to my grandfather, Paul R. Dixon, was Demoss. For William D. Dixon's parents, I did not have the C. in John C. Dixon and all I had for Mary Skinner was Polly Skinner. John Dixon was married three times. It is his third wife that is buried at Elmwood Cemetery. Polly Skinner d. c.1829, probably in Preble Co, OH as John married second on 14 Sept 1830.I know of four children for John and Polly (Mary) Dixon: William D. Dixon, Miles S. Dixon, James Clay "Squire" Dixon and George W. Dixon. There were probably more children. A John Dixon and a Samuel Dixon arepossibly two of their children. He also had children by his other two wives.
