https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dix-19

Edward Dix’s second wife was Susanna (named in his will) but her surname is unknown as is her marriage date to Edward Dix. Of this second marriage Torrey says even less, only that she died after 1661 as noted below.[4] They are not known to have any children.

Edward Dix died in Watertown 9 Jul 1660.[6] HIs 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.
