A Fairfield Sketch Book by Julian Bolick, ed. 1963; pp 48-54:
DIXON HOUSE
Harrison - Moores - Harrison - Dixon
This old landmark is sadly in need of restoration but it still stands, defying time, in spite of its sad plight. The front doorway is still beautiful and outstanding in design, giving the old place a lasting semblance of dignity and refinement.
The place belonged to Reuben Harrison, a revolutionary soldier. In the period before the war he was associated with Thomas Woodward, the "Regulator", in keeping law and order. He was twice married: Lucy Birge was his first wife and Nancy Kirkland the second. He died in 1835 and left each of his eight children two thousand acres of land. In addition to this he built homes for his three daughters, leaving the home place to his widow for life.
