Sarah Dickson of Chambersburg, married Joseph Barnett, Jr. at unknown date. He was the son of Joseph Barnett, Sr. and Elizabeth Graham, of Hanover Twp., Lancaster (later Dauphin) Co., PA.

They had Barnett children:

Sarah, 1788 (Andrew McClure)

Richard, 1790 - died in Missouri

Note: early Dixons were also in Hanover Twp., in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, possibly a connection.

*Note: "Barnett's Conquest" was located in current Lower Paxton, in Dauphin Co., Pennsylvania according to the Historical Marker database. However, when her husband Joseph was born, it was in Lancaster Co. (1729 to 1785 when it became Dauphin Co.), Pennsylvania.

I note nearby, there were Dixons in old Lancaster, 1785 it was in Daupin Co.
