     Additional information: LifeSketch:Citation Information: (Online database: NewEnglandAncestors.org, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 2002); Robert Charles Anderson, "The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England 1620-1633," Volumes I-III, 3 vols., 1995: "EDWARD DIX ORIGIN: Unknown MIGRATION: 1630 FIRST RESIDENCE: Boston REMOVES: Watertown by 1634 CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: "Edward Deekes" was admitted to Boston church as member #49 [BChR 14]. FREEMAN: 4 March 1634/5 (fifth in a group of six Watertown men) [MBCR 1:370]. EDUCATION: Signed his will by mark. Inventory included "one old Bible and three old books" valued at 6s. OFFICES: Watertown selectman, 10 December 1649 [WaTR 1:19]. In a town account of 10 December 1651 is included the following item: "dike's rate ... 17s. 2d." [WaTR 25]; this has been interpreted to indicate that Edward Dix had recently been constable. ESTATE: Granted the usual full sequence of proprietorial lots at Watertown: homestall of 11 acres; 2 acres meadow; 3 acres upland; 30 acres Great Dividend; 3 acres Beaverbrook Plowlands; 3 acres Remote Meadows; 10 acres and a half upland; and 105 acre farm [WaBOP 4, 7, 9, 12, 27, 84]. In his will, dated 25 June 1660 and proved 2 October 1660, "Edward Dikes of Wattertowne" acknowledged that "I did receive some estate of my wife that now is to the value of twenty pounds" and ordered that it be paid to her along with £5 in addition, and also so long as she lives and does not remarry she may reside with his children in his dwelling house and have firewood cut and delivered to her; ordered that from "all my estate viz: houses, lands both near and remote with two hundred acres of land bought of Ensign Sherman ... my son John Dikes shall enjoy a double portion with the addition of ten pounds and a mare colt now running in the woods"; ordered that "the rest of my estate be equally divided amongst my 3 daughters only my youngest for some consideration not here mentioned shall have twenty shillings more than the rest of her sisters provided also that if the portion that I have given my daughter ["Elizabeth" lined out] Abigaell which is wife to Thomas Parks do not amount to the rest of the sisters that then it shall be made up equal unto the rest of her sisters"; and appointed "my son John Diks" sole executor [MPR Case #6296]. On 2 October 1660 John Dix chose Sgt. John Wincoll as his guardian [MPR Misc]. The inventory of the estate of "Edward Dickes late of Wattertowne" was taken 8 October 1660 and totalled £254 3s. 10d., of which £103 was real estate: "a dwelling house and barn and fourteen acres of homestall land," £42; "three acres of meadow in Beaver Brook Meadow," £12; "five acres at Slendergut Meadow," £5; "six acres of meadow at Mr. Saltonstall's farm," £4; "five acres of Remote Meadow," £2 10s.; "twenty [acres] of dividend by Thomas Torball's and ten acres by Richard Sawtel's," £15; "six acres of land by John Barnard's," £6; "more nine acres of land by Rich: Sawtel's," £4 10s.; "three acres in the further plain," £1 10s.; "eighteen acres in lieu of the township," £3; "two hundred acres of land at Esabeth [Assabet] River," £6; and "his right in farm land in Wattertown" £1 10s. [MPR Case #6296]. On 2 April 1661 "Sussanna Dickes widow brought suit against Sergt. John Wincoll and John Dix, executors of Edward Dix, in an action of dowry. The court found for the plaintiff, viz: one-third rents and the court costs, 13s. [MCR 1:185; Bond 753]. BIRTH: By about 1610 based on estimated date of marriage. DEATH: Watertown 9 July 1660 [WaVR 23]. MARRIAGE: (1) By 1637 Jane _____ (named as the mother of all children in birth records); she died after the birth of youngest child Rebecca on 18 February 1641/2. (2) By an uncertain date Susanna _____; she was living on 2 April 1661 when she received judgment against the executors of her husband's will. CHILDREN (all born Watertown): With first wife i ABIGAIL, b. 2 May 1637 [WaVR 5]; m. Cambridge 1 December 1653 Thomas Parks. ii MARY, b. 2 May 1639 [WaVR 7]; m. (1) Watertown 5 February 1662/3 Abraham Brown [WaVR 24]; m. (2) Samuel Rice. iii JOHN, b. 4 September 1640 [WaVR 8]; m. Watertown 7 January 1670/1 Elizabeth Barnard [WaVR 33]. iv REBECCA, b. 18 February 1641[/2] [WaVR 9]; m. Watertown 18 February 1667/8 Thomas Flagg [WaVR 30]. COMMENTS: On the 6 June 1635 passenger list of the Thomas & John, bound from London to Virginia, are Edward Dix, aged 19, and Jane Wilkinson, aged 20 (at different positions in a list of 105 names) [Hotten 83-85]. This Edward Dix has been identified by some as the immigrant to New England, and Jane Wilkinson as his first wife Jane. There are several arguments against these claims. In the first place, there are only one or two instances in which persons listed as sailing for Virginia in 1635 later appeared in New England, and these are well documented. Second, Edward Dix of Boston and Watertown was admitted to freemanship on 4 March 1634/5, and he must have been in New England for this to occur; but the passenger of 6 June 1635 could not have been in New England on the previous 4 March, and in any case could not have been made free if he were only nineteen. In his first edition Bond includes a daughter Deborah, and then in the second edition presents evidence that she could not have been a daughter of Edward Dix [Bond 198, 753]. Furthermore, the will of Edward Dix states that he had three daughters, and we have births and marriages for three daughters without taking Deborah into account. On 22 May 1651 Edward Dix was one of four Watertown men "being fined £4 ... for want of a town bushel, upon their requests have their fine remitted" [MBCR 3:229]." Google books accessed online 24 Aug 2010, "Family memorials: Genealogies of the families and descendants of the early settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, including Waltham and Weston: to which is appended the early history of the town," by Henry Bond, 1855, vol. 1, p. 198: "JOHN DIX, m. Jan. 7, 1670-1, ELIZABETH BARNARD. Upon the death of his father, he chose John Wincoll for his guardian. 1. Elizabeth, b. 4 Dec 1671; m. 1694, Nathaniel Stearns. 2. John, b. 6 Mar 1672-3. 3.
