Last updated

Thomas C. Dixon (died 1870s) was a hatter [1] and political figure in Canada West. He represented London in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1851 to 1854. Dixon served as mayor of London in 1849. [2]

He defeated John Wilson to win a seat in the assembly in 1851; Dixon was defeated by Wilson when he ran for reelection in 1854. [3] Shortly after this defeat, Dixon moved to Hamilton, where he served on city council. Originally an Anglican, he became a Mormon. In 1854, Dixon moved to Utah, taking with him the wives of five other city councillors. He died of yellow fever in Fort Worth, Texas sometime in the 1870s. [4]
