This is a revision of an earlier post. John Dixon’s will seems to indicate she has predeceased him and her share would eventually go to her kids once her mom passes. I’ve mentioned earlier coming across a Hannah Marshall in the 1960 census for Dixon Precinct who had 4 Marshall children and one Dixon child living in her single parent household. She was a 39 year old teacher at the time.
Well, sure enough, Hannah Dixon married William Marshall on March 16, 1848! That’s about 8 years after she would have come over from Leeds in 1840 or so. William Marshall died before 1860. The “Dixon child” listed in the 1860 census appears to be an error by the census taker as it matches exactly her son John Marshall, who was her first born child.
