Dixey from Publication of "The Ancestry of Sarah Stone" by Walter Goodwin Davis ( Publication on file at Inependence MO Genealogy Library and at New England Genealogical Historial Society in Boston)
Capt. William Dixey of Beverly was born in England about the year 1607. He came to America in 1629 when he was twenty-two years old, as one of the servants of Mr. Isaac Johnson, the associate of Winthrop and Saltonstall, who, in Capt. Dixey's own language, "wrote to the Honoured Governor Mr. Endicott . . . for a palce to sett down in." Mr. Johnson, who did not set sail until 1630, sent his men and cattle ahead of him, and, the Governor giving them leave to settle where they would, they went to Saugus (Lynn) where, after a cordial reception from Sagamore James and his tribe, they cut grass for their cattle, keeping them upon the peninsula of Nahant. In another deposition, made when he was an old man, he gives details of the relations between the local Indians and the new colony as follows: "when wee came to dwell heare the Indians bid us welcome, & shewed themselves very glad that wee came to dwell amont them, & I understood they had kindly entertained the English that came hither before wee came, & the English & the Indians had a feild in common fenced in together, & the Indians fled to shelter themselves under the English ofttimes, saying they were afraid of theire enemy Indians in the contry; in p'ticular I remember sometime after wee arrived the Agawam Indians complained to Mr. Endicott that they were afraid of other indians caled as I take it Tarrateens: Hugh Browne was sent with others in a boat to Agawam for the Indianes reliefe, & at other times we gave our neighbour Indians protection from theire Inemy Indians," Mr. Johnson, who arrived in june 1630 on the "Arbella," died the following September and presumably William Dixey was then thrown on his own resources.
He settled in Salem, eventually but perhaps not immediately, making his home on "Cape Ann side," later to be called Beverly, and began a long and useful career. He took the freeman's oath and was made a proprietor in 1634. He was called sergeant as early as 1636 and his rise in military rank was continuous. In 1645 when the Salem military company was formed he was made its ensign, holding that rank until 1662 when he was confirmed as lieutenant of the foot company then formed on "Cape Ann side," and some time before 1677 he was made its captain.
The ferry between Salem and "Cape Ann side" was put in his charge in 1639, and although he was among the petitioners for permission to settle at Jeffrey's Creek in 1640, he was living on Bass River and keeping the ferry as late as 1645.
He married Anna ______ about 1625, and his wife was a member of Salem church before 1636.
Capt. Dixey shared in the various early land grants. His family in 1637 consisted of five persons, and, as he and his wife had but one child at that time, the two unexplained persons may possibly have been relatives who resided with him. he served on the Grand Jury in 1645, 1659, 1661, 1668, and 1669, and on the Trial Jury in 1647, 1649, 1650, 1651, 1653, 1655, 1656, 1664, 1666 and 1677. In this latter year he administered the oath of fidelity to the male inhabitants of Manchester.
Although "Cape Ann side" had exercised many of the functions of a separate community for some years, it was not until 1667 that its church became independent of Salem and 1668 that it was politically established as Beverly. Capt. Dixey and his wife were among the petitioners for the new parish, each being third on the respective lists of men and women.
Capt. Dixey died in 1690 at the ripe age of eighty-two or three, his wife having died before February 1, 1684/5, when he had made his will. Having lost his only son in 1677, he left his land to his five daughters Mary Woodbury, Anna Judkins, Abigail Stone, Elizabeth Morgan and Sarah Gale, and his household goods to three of them, Abigail, Elizabeth and Sarah. He also remembered his grandsons Jonathan Stone and Dixey Woodbury, his three granddaughters who were named for his late sife, Anna Gale, Anna Stone and Anna Morgan, and the two children of his deceased son, Elizabeth and Sarah Dixey. Sergt. John Hill and Lieut. John Dodge were appointed overseers. The document was proved June 24, 1690, and an inventory of &113:16 was entered. (Essex Probate 302:20)
Their son's reference in his will to his "own dear father and mother," the old Captain's gift to his three grandchildren who bore his wife's name and the persistent use of his own surname as a given name for their sons by his daughters and grandchildren give an unmistakable impression that Capt. Dixey and his wife lived lives of strong character and deep affection.
