Posted by Dee Davidson on Wed, 10 May 2000

Surname: DIX, CHUBBS, FISHER

DIX, JOSEPH--Born at Leicester, Mass., July 7, 1753. Died Sept. 16, 1822, aged 69 years. Grave in Lake View Cemetery, City of Jamestown. He was the son of Joseph and Sarah Chubbs Dix, Sturbridge, Mass. He enlisted in the American army at Sturbridge, was one of the "Minute Men" at the battle of Lexington, served as private, and afterwards promoted to Corporal and Sergeant, was in Capt. Martin's Company, also in Capt. Timothy Perkins' Company, Col. Warren's Regiment and Col. Bigelow's Regiment.

Married Sarah Fisher, of Sturbridge, Mass., and early in the 19th century they emigrated to Western New York, settling in Jamestown about 1814 or 1815. He erected and operated a saw mill for some years, and when the Congregational Church of Jamestown was organized in 1816 he was elected its first deacon. The following is a tablet placed in that church to his memory: "In memory of Joseph Dix, who died in 1822, one of the Founders of this Church and it's First Deacon. He served 5 years in the Revolutionary war. The memory of his service to Church and Country is an enduring blessing."

Revolutionary War application and claim #44071. There is a letter addressed to Albert B. Chase, 770 Phoenix St., South Haven, MI dated Feb 13, 1935:

He requested information from the file.( Matilda Dix married Andrew Chase in 1806, and Albert is one of their descendants.)

Most of the information is the same as above. He enlisted in 1775 and served 8 months as a private in the Massachusetts Troops. He enlisted again in March, 1776 and served 1 year. He enlisted again March 10, 1777 and was discharged March 10, 1780. He was in the battles of New York, Frog's Point, Trenton, Princeton, Saratoga, Capture of Burgoyne and in Sullivan's Retreat.

He was granted a pension May 7, 1818 while living in Ellicot, Chautauqua, NY when he was 65 years old.

"In 1820 he was living in Gerry, Chautauqua County, new York and referred to his wife aged sixty-two years, to his children who lived near him (names of wife and children not given) and to John Picket as 'one of his sons-in-law'. There is no further data on file as to his family. He died prior to December 9, 1835.

Respectfully, (No name given) Commissioner"
