Comments: "The following papers were presented to this Society in February, 1889, by Epes S. Dixwell, Esq., of Cambridge, Mass., whose grandmother was a granddaughter of Colonel John Dixwell. At the request of this Society the donor subsequently prepared a statement concerning his gift, from which the following is an extract. "Two hundred years ago an old man of eighty-two years was lying ill in your town of a painful disease which brought his death on the 18th of March, 1689. He left a widow and three small children, two daughters and a son. The oldest daughter was ten years old, the son eight, and the youngest six. He had here lived by the name of James Davids, for about a quarter of a century, respected for his quiet, secluded and pious life, known only to a few of the prominent citizens, observed for a distinguished bearing which betokened an acquaintance with the world and with polished life beyond the manners of most of the people then in New Haven. In particular he was known to Rev. James Pierpont and to Gov*. James Bishop and Gov. William Jones. To them he had confided the secret of his true name, John Dixwell, and that he had been one of those who had affixed his signature and seal to the death warrant of Charles I."
Relation: John Dixwell's niece was Elizabeth Dixwell Chute Westrowe , wife of Edward Chute of Bethersden.
