Biography
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/113954422/john-dix
John was born in Watertown, Massachusetts on September 4, 1640, the son of Edward Dix and his wife Jane. John spent his entire life in Watertown. He married there, on January 7, 1670/1, Elizabeth Barnard, the daughter of John Barnard and Phoebe Whiting. The couple had nine children, all born in Watertown. Not too much is known about the lives of John and Elizabeth, except what can be inferred from the vital records of the town in which they lived. John was probably a farmer, as were most men at that time.
The record of the death of Elizabeth has never been found, although she is supposed to have outlived John. John died November 7, 1714, in Watertown.

Edward Dix’s will, dated 25 Jun 1660, was proved 2 Oct 1660.[7] and was signed as Edward "Dikes".
His will showed that he owned a variety of property including acreage in the "Great Dividend", "Beaverbrook Plowlands" and "Remote Meadows". Edward's son John "Diks" to be sole executor but was not of age and on 2 Oct 1660 [the day the will was proved], he selected Sgt. John Wincoll as his guardian. The will listed wife Susanna and three daughters, helping to prove that the Deborah Unknown Dix who moved to Connecticut with her young children and married Robert Barnes there was not a daughter of this Edward Dix, let alone his wife.
In April 1661 widow Susanna Dix brought suit against John Wincol and John Dix , executors of her deceased husband's estate for her marriage dowry, she won the suit and received one-third rents and costs, 13 Pounds.
