I added a source connecting John as the child of Robert and Priscilla. I am not completely convinced, but it probably is worth looking into.

This man can't be the father of William Dixon baptised at Hart, County Durham, England in 1686. He would have been too young. What is the evidence that he is the John Dixon who married Jane Peake at Middleton in Teesdale in 1673? He was not born until 1679 according to this profile. Must be a different John Dixon and this man needs to be separated from Jane Peake and William Dixon. Jane and William probably don't belong together either.

Dixon-10662 and Dixon-14 appear to represent the same person because: same parents
