Notes - According to Mary Belle Lontz (citation details below), William Dixon "sailed from Downes, England, with Thomas Pierson on the 14th day of July 1676, and arrived in Great Wackacommacoe River in Maryland on the 9th day of September, 1676, aboard the ship Joseph and Benjamin, Matthew Pain, commander. Thomas Pierson later became the brother-in-law of William Dixon when, in 1690, he married William's sister Rose. William returned to Ireland from this first trip to the new colonies and there on the 5th mo. 4, 1683, as the Lurgan Monthly Meeting minutes state, married Isabelle Rea, both of the parish of Segoe, County Armagh, Ireland, in the house of Roger Webb, with Henry and Rose Dixon (his parents), Thomas Harlan, and Isabelle Logan as witnesses. After the death of Isabelle, he joined the Quaker emigration from ireland and came again to America, to William Penn's colony of Pennsylvnia, in that portion which is now Delaware, in 1688. Two years later, in 1690, he married Anne Gregg, second child and only daughter of William Gregg, who was also a member of the Quaker immigration into Pennsylvania, bringing with him his daughter Ann, born 1670, in Ireland. William Dixon was a weaver by trade and settled on Red Clay Creek, in Christiana Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware."
["Downes, England" presumably refers to this place.]
