Biography

Mary, daughter of David Tryon and Susannah Derrickson, was born 17 Mar and baptized 18 Apr 1772 in Wilmington.^[1]

Research Notes

Of the children of David Tryon and Susannah Derrickson, only John (who died shortly after David) appears in records after their births. They were all under ten years old when David died and Susannah remarried William Dixon the following year. They may have all taken the name of Dixon. Unfortunately there are a large number of Dixon families in the New Castle area of Delaware.
