John Dixon, carriage manufacturer, was born in Toronto, March 8th, 1837, and is the youngest of a family of five children, born to William and Elizabeth (Smith) Dixon, who came to Toronto from the State of New York in 1833. His father, who was a bricklayer by trade, was born in Lincolnshire, England; he was a Sergeant-Major during the Rebellion of 1837-8, and served in Toronto, Kingston, Malaga, Chippewa, and participated in the cutting loose of the Caroline. He died at the age of sixty-five years. Mr. Dixon’s mother is still living, at the advanced age of ninety-one years. Of the five children three sons are living, two daughters being dead. Mr. Dixon learned his trade in Toronto, and now gives employment to about forty-five men. In 1862 he married Ellen, eldest daughter of William Hampson, who came from England and settled in Toronto some years ago. He was a builder and built Upper Canada College.
