Not the same as Edward Dix of Watertown

Four distinct branches of the Dix family were started in America in early times. These were the lines instituted by Leonard Dix, of Wethersfield, Connecticut; Anthony Dix, of Plymouth, Massachusetts; Edward Dix, of Watertown, Massachusetts, and the Dix family of Accomac county in Virginia. It is not known that anybody has been able to demonstrate the relationship reliably. Undoubtedly they were connected by the generation just previous to any one of them coming to America.

Edward Dix [SIC - Unknown] and his wife, Deborah, came from England and settled at Watertown, Massachusetts. They were in the fleet with Governor Winthrop, in 1630. He appears to have died at that place, prior to the removal of his immediate family into Connecticut, leaving a widow and three children. The widow, Deborah, married (second) October 16, 1667, Richard Barnes, of Marlboro, Massachusetts, by whom she had five children, between 1669 and 1683, according to certain published records; but the dates seem somewhat averse to the fact.

Children:

1. Leonard, see forward.
2. John, who was in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1676; was taxed there in 1683; sold his house and land in 1686; owned land in Hoccanum, near the mouth of the river bearing that name, in 1679; joined the Second Church of Hartford, September 10, 1686; married Mary Bidwell; children: Sarah, John, Margaret, Daniel, Elizabeth, Susanna and Joseph.
3. William, died in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1676.

Both Bond[7] and Savage[8] conclude that Deborah was a widow when she married Richard, with the identity of her first husband unknown. One source identifies her first husband as Leonard Dix.[9]
