JAMES HIXSON
Of Virginia

   James Hixson applied for revolutionary pension while living in Loudoun
County, Virginia, in October, 1832. He died in that county in 1833. He was born
in 1763, in New Jersey, and moved in 1772 with his parents to prince William
County, Virginia. He enlisted in Prince William County in August 1780, and
marched in Captain Farrow's company to Dumfries and Fredericksburg, where he was
placed in Captain Berry's company. Later he served under Captain Loveless and
Captain Marshall. In December, 1780, he enlisted in Lee's Legion. He was in the
battles of Guilford Court House, Fort Watson, Fort Motte, Fort Granby, Fort
Galphin- Augusta and the Siege of Ninety-Six. He served until the close of the
war. He stated in his pension application that his name was borne on the rolls
of Lee's Legion as William Hixson. He married December 19, 1822, in Fauquier
County, Virginia, Mary Hampton. She was his third wife but he does not give the
names of his other wives. She applied for pension in Fauquier County, in 1853,
when she was sixty-three years of age. She was therefore born in 1780. She died
July 16, 1856. Seven children survived James Hixson but their names are not
stated in the application. David Hixson testified in Loudoun County, Va., in
1832, and Benjamin Hixson in Loudoun County in 1853, but their relationship to
the family is not given.

   P. Augustus Klipstein, son-in-law of the widow, Mary Hampton Hixson was
living in Salem, Faupuier [sic] County, in 1853.
