If any of you who are researching the Dixon family ever run across the
following Rachel Dixon, I would be extremely grateful if you would let me
know.  We (parents and I) have been looking for her for decades.

Rachel Dixon was born May 15, 1821 in North Carolina.  She died March 15
1885 in Drake Missouri.  She married George V. Miller about 1840.  He was
born November 10, 1801 probably in Ashe county North Carolina, and died July
23, 1881 in Missouri.  They had 9 children all born in Missouri.  

Rachel is my gg grandmother.  She is supposedly full blood Mohawk Indian.
Of course this wasn't spoken of in the family until my grandmother's sister
told my aunt when she was over 100 years old.  Amazing how society changes.
They were ashamed.  My kids and I think it's kind of neat!  Anyway, if
someone runs across her, please let me know.
Thanks!
Ronda
