Susannah Dixon was born in 1738 in Prince George County, Colony of Virginia, daughter of Henry Dixon and Betty Abernathy [citation needed], and died in 1818 in Putnam, Georgia. Birth location and category changed, from "Dinwiddie, Dinwiddie" to "Prince George County". Dinwiddie County was formed from Prince George County in 1752.[1]
Susannah married Joseph Turner, and they had many children together.[citation needed]
Their great-grandson Joseph Addison Turner wrote in 1866:
“My great-grandfather married Susannah, the daughter of Henry Dixon, whose wife was Miss Elizabeth Abernethy, a relative of John Abernethy, the great and eccentric London physician, of whose bluntness and idiosyncrasies [sic], more than one member of the Turner family partakes in a large degree.” <snip> “The Col. Henry Dixon, who was wounded in the neck by a cannonball, at the siege of Yorktown, was the brother of Susannah Dixon.[2] From this family of Dixons were descended the Hon. Archie Dixon, late federal senator from Kentucky, and Robert Emmet Dixon, of Georgia, late clerk of the Confederate House of Representatives, who was killed by Forde, of Kentucky.[2]
Susannah was mentioned on a memorial with a death date of 1818.[3]
