Timothy and Naomi (Corwin) Hixson

Timothy Hixson was born August 13, 1739 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. In New Jersey about 1770 he married Naomi Corwin who was born April 10, 1752, in Hopewell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

Little is know of Timothy Hixson's life in New Jersey. It is believed that he was living in Sussex County in 1771, but there had been changes in county lines during those years. Just when he moved to Sussex County is not known. Timothy Hixson and Naomi Corwin were married shortly before the beginning of the Revolutionary War, but what part he may have played during the war is not known. Timothy and Naomi followed her parents to Canada in about 1788. At that time Ontario was just a wilderness and living conditions were primitive. United Empire Loyalists moving into the area after the war were the first actual settlers, but they were soon followed by many others. Timothy Hixson only lived a few years after moving to Canada but it is believed that he was a farmer and blacksmith during his years there.

To this union eleven children were born: 1. Henry, born February 19, 1771, died September 16, 1852 2. Elizabeth, born December 25, 1773, died July 14, 1855 3. Daniel, born January 1, 1775, died 1808 4. Levi, born October 18, 1776, died June 25, 1853 5. Child 6. Mary, born April 25, 1778, died 1858 7. Rachel, born 1780, died 1791 8. Nathan, born May 25, 1781, died March 11, 1856 9. Joseph, born 1783, died 1789 10. John, born March 17, 1790, died 1823 11. Esther, born February 25, 1792, died July 27, 1868

Timothy Hixson died in 1792, probably in Stamford Township, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada. Naomi Corwin Hixson died March 2, 1825 in Stamford Township, Lincoln County, Ontario, Canada, and is buried in Drummond Hill Cemetery, now in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.

Corwin. The Corwin lineage is traced back to the reign of Ethelred,-about 870 A.D. The early form of the name was “Culwen,” which became in time “Curwen,” and after its transplanting to America took the present form. The family was for centuries established in Cumberland, England. In 1638 Capt. George Curwen of Northampton emigrated to Salem, Mass. At the time of the Revolution a descendant,-Joseph Corwin, was living at Log Jail (now Hackettstown) in New Jersey. In 1790 he, with his wife and family, “followed the flag” to a new home in Stamford township, where they settled on Crown land. Their family numbered fourteen, their two youngest sons, Joseph and Benjamin (twins) marrying daughters of Israel Swayze. Here are the epitaphs of the old Loyalist couple and of Joseph junior,- “Elizabeth, wife of Joseph Corwin, who died April 16th, 1815, aged 84 years.” “Joseph Corwin, Sen., who died May 25th, 1805 aged 84 years.” “Joseph Corwin, Jun., died Feb.7th, 1807, aged 32 years.” It may be noted that father and son had passed away but the aged widow and mother survived to see the years of pillage, privation and terror that the war of 1812 brought upon their adopted home. Here is an inscription that entwines the names of three pioneer families : “Naomi, wife of Henry Johnson, departed this life March 2nd, 1825, aged 72 years. She was the daughter of Joseph Corwin and former wife of Timothy Hixson, who died in the year 1792.” http://www.niagarahistorical.museum/media/NHS22.pdf
