  HISTORY OF CHARLES DIXON
CHARLES DIXON came from Yorkshire, England, to Nova Scotia in the year 1772, and settled at Sackville, N.B. A paper written by himself, and dated Sept. 21st, 1773, giving some particulars of his life and history previous to that date, is herein transcribed, as follows:
Dixon, with the aid of his negro servant Cleaveland, hid his money and other valuables in the earth; binding his servant by a solemn oath never to divulge to any one the place of concealment.
Dixon was blessed with a strong and vigorous constitution and also in a marked degree possessed the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.

 Settlement possible in death of man during arrest
The experts have squared off over the death of Charles Dixon in a fight with police in Mount Oliver last year, and now both sides in his family's federal wrongful death lawsuit are taking the first steps toward a possible settlement.
Dixon, 43, of Altoona, died Dec. 23, about two days after he lost consciousness while being restrained by police officers on the floor at a birthday party in the Mount Oliver Fire Hall.
Callery said Dixon, despite his enormous physical strength, was "a very sick man" with many medical problems that contributed to his death, including obesity, an enlarged heart and liver and chronic pancreatitis.

Dixon dated September 15, 1994 the Secretary advised Dixon in relevant part as follows: Your complaint of discrimination, under section 105(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act, has been investigated and the results carefully considered.
Charles H. Dixon, Pontiki also argues that he was not a person protected under section 105(c) because he was not an applicant for employment, a miner or even a miner's representative when the alleged discrimination occurred.
Dixon was not a miner, applicant for employment, or representative of miners within the scope of section 105(c)(2).

 Maj. Tilman Dixon, Patriot, Soldier, Explorer, and Pioneer
In 1782, Capt. Tilman Dixon was one of three North Carolina Continental officers elected to accompany a party, commissioned by the North Carolina Assembly, to survey "bounty lands for it's soldiers along the Cumberland River" (in the present State of Tennessee).
Billy Young, Dixon "In the early part of 1787...Came up the Cumberland River by canoe from Mansker's Station with Col. William Walton...to stake out their Revolutionary War grants" This was apparently after Dixon's initial visit to the area approximately four to five years earlier.
Dixon's home was "a long favored stopping place for the owner's friends, and those inclined to more luxurious surroundings than the camp afforded; and many notables were entertained here.

 Secretary of Labor on behalf of Charles H. Dixon, et. al. v. Pontiki Coal Corporation
Additionally, since the gravamen of both Dixon and the Secretary's complaint is Pontiki's refusal to recognize the designation of non-employee representatives of miners and Pontiki management's threatening statements to the miners, we do not agree with the judge that the Secretary has in any meaningful sense "expanded" Dixon's initiating complaint.
In sum, we conclude that Dixon's complaint is an adequate predicate to the complaint filed by the Secretary on behalf of the miners whom Dixon represented.
Nor is there a dispute that the miners on whose behalf Dixon filed the initiating complaint, and on whose behalf the Secretary filed his section 105(c)(2) complaint, were miners at the time the allegedly discriminatory actions took place.

 Thomas Pynchon, Mason & Dixon
His tale of Jeremiah Dixon and Charles Mason comes from the time the Rev. spent with the team the two men took with them as they clear-cut their way due west through unforgiving terrain.
Through this fluctuating narrative voice, and the meta-story that it evokes, we see this tale as a story told, rather than a historical recreation, leaving Pynchon free to fill in with cunning detail the fiction of these two men and their eventual psychic influence on American social consciousness.
Jeremiah Dixon, surveyor, observer, living in the now, and Charles Mason, astronomer, widower, a contemplative, introspective chronicler of the passing of events, become one facet of a subtext of polarization that explores the dichotomies of slave versus free, religious tolerance and moral superiority, between mania and melancholy, eastern and western philosophy, even lumberjack versus werebeaver.

 Matthew Charles Dixon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Major General Matthew Charles Dixon VC CB (5 February 1821- 7 January 1905) was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
On 17 April 1855 at Sebastopol, the Crimea, at about 2pm the battery commanded by Captain Dixon was blown up by a shell from the enemy which burst in the magazine, destroying the parapets, killing or wounding 10 men, disabling five guns and covering a sixth with earth.
The captain reopened fire with the remaining gun and continued firing it until sunset, despite the heavy concentration of fire from the enemy's batteries and the ruined state of his own.
