  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	William Hixson           b. 18 Apr 1647, Frodsham, Cheshire, England           d. Abt Dec 1722, Maidenhead Twp., Hunterdon Co., New Jersey  (Age 75 years)  (3 x Great Grandfather)  Priscilla Woodyard           b. 14 Nov 1797             d. 25 Oct 1880  (Age 82 years)  (Mother)
  Notes	He gave a plot of his land in Manassas over to be a "Manassas Cemetery" in which he, his wife, and other Hixsons are buried. He built, in 1865, the "White House" on Main Street in Manassas. (There is also apparently a "white house" in Hixson, Tennessee, which must be related somehow?)
