| PP_1203 | That Ruth Dixon (1203) was the mother of Naomi Bury (601) | ||||
| In his will in 1668, Thomas Bury mentions his elder son Leonard, and Leonard's children Thomas, Ann, John and Samuel (that is, no Naomi). | W_1668 | ||||
| Ruth Dixon married Leonard Bury in 1667 as his second wife, so the children above must be from Leonard's first wife Margaret Dent. | M_1667 | ||||
| In his will in 1695, Samuel Dixon, vicar of Buckminster, mentions his daughter Ruth Bury, and his grandchildren Leonard Bury and Naomi Stephenson. | W_1695 | ||||
| Naomi and Leonard must be children of Leonard by his second wife Ruth Dixon, and Naomi must have been born around 1670 - as her first child was born in 1792. | |||||
| This proves that Naomi Bury was the daughter of Ruth Dixon, and that Ruth was the daughter of Samuel Dixon. | |||||
| PP_2406 | That Samuel Dixon (2406) was the father of Ruth Dixon (1203) | ||||
| This is proved above. | |||||
| Ruth Dixon was baptized in Edmondthorpe in 1645, daughter of Samuel Dixon 'clerke' and Dorothy. | B_1645 | ||||
| Samuel Dixon and Dorothy Kinge married a year before in Edmondthorpe in 1644. | M_1644 | ||||
| Samuel Dixon finished his MA at Cambridge in 1640, was ordained a priest and appointed vicar of Buckminster in 1641. | C_1640 | ||||
| PP_4812 | That John Dixon (4812) was the father of Samuel Dixon (2406) | ||||
| Samuel Dixon was baptized in 1616 in Loughborough, the son of John Dixon, with elder sisters Abigail and Sarah, and a younger brother Thomas. | B_1616 | ||||
| He and his siblings are mentioned in the will of their father John Dixon, a baker, in 1635. | W_1635 | ||||
| They are also named in the will of their mother Gertrude Dixon, widow, in 1649, as Samuel Dixon's eldest daughters Ruth and Ann Dixon. | W_1649 | ||||
| PP_9624 | That John Dixon (9624) was the father of John Dixon (4812) | ||||
| Samuel Dixon's eldest sister was baptized in 1608 in Loughborough. | |||||
| No marriage of John Dixon and Gertrude has come to light. | |||||
| John is likely to have been born in the early 1580s. | |||||
| His parents are likely to be the John Dixon and Frances Wisse married in Loughborough in 1578. | M_1578 | ||||
| John Dixon likely died in Loughborough in 1616, but no will has been found. | D_1616 | ||||
| A Frances Dixon died in Loughborough in 1622, but again no will has been found. | D_1622 | ||||
