Searching:  DIXON, GILL, MCEWEN

Query:
Searching for Samuel H. DIXON, b. Ireland 1809, d. Ogdensbury, NY, 2 Aug 1894 and his wife, Elizabeth Ann GILL, b. Ireland, 1804, d. Ogdensburg, NY 29 Mar 1893.  The had two children born in Matilda Township, Patience Alice, b. 11 Jul 1852 and Samuel H., Hr., b. 1847.
Their older daughter, Martha M., b. 1839 may have been born in Ireland.
 I expect that they were famine immigrants to Canada.  They didn't stay long in Canada; by 1855, they moved to Ogdensburg, where Samuel H. DIXON, Sr. is listed as a grocer.  However, Elizabeth Ann GILL seems to have been the duaghter of William J. Gill, who was born in Ireland, c.1780 and died in Upper Canada, Mar, 1871.  He had a son named Thomas GILL, who was a farmer near Cornwall, Ont. He marrried Alice GREEN; they had several children, one of whom became the second wife of William MCEWEN, after Martha DIXON's death in 1862.  There must have been considerable contact between the Canadian family and the states.
A Frederick Dixon,  a farm hand in Heuvelton, NY, died suddenly in 1918.  He was buried in their family plot in the Ogdensburgh Cemetery.  Any information appreciated.

Their older daughter, Martha M., b. 1839 may have been born in Ireland.
 I expect that they were famine immigrants to Canada.  They didn't stay long in Canada; by 1855, they moved to Ogdensburg, where Samuel H. DIXON, Sr. is listed as a grocer.  However, Elizabeth Ann GILL seems to have been the duaghter of William J. Gill, who was born in Ireland, c.1780 and died in Upper Canada, Mar, 1871.  He had a son named Thomas GILL, who was a farmer near Cornwall, Ont. He marrried Alice GREEN; they had several children, one of whom became the second wife of William MCEWEN, after Martha DIXON's death in 1862.  There must have been considerable contact between the Canadian family and the states.
