Robert Dickson, Priscilla's husband, fled from Ayrshire in December,1666, as previously noted, settled in the province of Ulster. In neither the records nor the traditions of the family has the name of the county or of the town in which he located been preserved, but it is believed that Antrim was the county. About 1670 he was married in Ireland to Priscilla, daughter of Hugh Kennedy, according to family tradition. Prior to1700 Robert died, and was survived by several children, the names of only four of whom, however, have n preserved. In spelling their surname these Scotch-Irish Dicksons early adopted the form " Dixon," which they (with two or three exceptions) adhered to throughout their lives. ^[2]
