Dixfield is proud of its founding fathers and mothers and the hardy stock from which many of its current citizens have descended. To help others understand their connection to early Dixfield, we have attempted to list many of the descendants of Dixfield's early settlers. If you can add to the understanding of these people and their families we invite you to participate in the Descendancy Project. We would like to recognize the monumental work of Jane Cantrell on the Trask line, Peter Stowell on the Stowell/Holman line and Karen Grimm on the Barnard/Root line. For free lookups email Jane at janeyologist@windstream.net .
Some of the early settlers were:
Loannmi Baldwin and Harriet (Barnard) Marble
Amos
and Lucy (Park) Trask
Silas
and Lucy (Trask) Barnard
Isaac and Susan (Trask) Stanley
Peter and Mercy (Knight) Holman
Dr Joseph and Lusina (Trask) WhiteThe
Dixfield Historical Society, founded in 1975 by 29 charter members, was
revitalized in 1997 when the family of the late John Lucas Towle underwrote
the loan with which to purchase the John Jackson Towle and Mary Frances
Holman Homestead, located at 63 Main Street.
