She, one of her husbands, and the parents of both of her husbands -- all have conflicting parentage.

I mean to say that she and both husbands have parental conflicts. And that her duplicate husbands appear to be a perfect match except for their parents.

In any case, if you look around you will find multiple problems with this branch.

She also has red-flag inconsistencies involving one of her children, Henry Pennington, II

Miles Files does not have parents for any of the above - and the ones cited for Ambrose Dixon, Sr are MAD improbable (dude was a Quaker and a ship's carpenter, i.e. common laborer).

I think we've got a crash-merge on alleged "Sir William Dixon" Sir William Dixon, Sr Somebody wanted SOOOO badly to have a knighthood in the family that they spliced some ordinary William Dixon(s) onto the one who was knighted n 1661, resulting in a near-centenarian (who can't possibly have been in both England and Massachusetts (NOT Maryland!) at the same time anyway).

The one recorded in Shaw's "Knights" was knighted "in Ireland by the lords justices", along with James Donellan and William Titchbourne (Shaw, v. 2, p. 234).

Good observations, Private User Thanks very much, your contributions are always welcome and appreciated.

(Anyone reading this who feels they can fix it a lot quicker than I could, is welcome to have a go at it. I mean that sincerely, because I'm not sure where to begin with it.)

Hey Maven B Helms who are yo talking about knighted?

Just follow the blue links.

Ambrose Dixon's "About" section contains a lot of information about him, some of it contradictory (Quaker *and* soldier? Does not compute....)

According to the Miles Files http://espl-genealogy.org/MilesFiles/site/p597.htm#i59643 , Ambrose Dixon's parents are not known.

The knighted Sir William Dixon is found in Wm. A. Shaw, "The Knights of England", volume 2, page 234 (a bare listing by date and place). He has apparently been mis-merged with someone who emigrated to Massachusetts.
