[S90] Genealogies of Long Island Families From the New York Genealogical & Biographical Record, Volume I: page 400 - Alice, mentioned in wills of maternal grandfather Robert Thomas in 1610 and of paternal grandmother Mary Feake in 1619; m.

Middlesex. It was for Tobias Dixon that Tobias Feake was doubtless named. He had already given testimony at the inquest post mortem of Thomas Barnham in 1614. He removed from England to Germany after 1625 and took with him his wife’s nephew Tobias Feake and probably also her niece Judith, Tobias’ sister. Later, both children were sent to America to live with their uncle Robert Feake at Watertown. By 1634 Tobias Dixon was back in London when his wife took administration in her grandfather’s estate, and he was still there in 1639 when he was named attorney to sell property. Whether the Dixons had issue, we do not know.
