Assumption: Samuel's father was likely Randal Wixson, based on 1) The sale of land to Samuel by Joseph Wixson Sr. in 1851: the neighbouring property (E½ lot 9, Con. 6, Brock Twp.) was owned by Joseph Wixson Sr.'s son Randal Wixson from 1829 to 1847, 2) Samuel's wife Esther Rawson's family (Con.9, lot 20) lived near to Joseph Wixson Sr. (Con.9, lot 18) in 1851, 3) various evidence suggesting that i) Samuel's mother was Annis, ii) Annis was also known as Annie Fenton, iii) Annie Fenton's husband was Randal Wixson. N.B. No original evidence found so far explicitly states that Randal Wixson had a son named Samuel, or that Samuel Wixson's father was Randal.. {1}.

180. research note: Samuel's mother was Annis/Annie Fenton as per: 1) apparent relationship in 1861 census, 2) relationship between Annis and the late Samuel's wife Esther c.1885 and 1888 surrounding the late Annis's property in Brock Township (purchased 1879), 3) various evidence suggesting that i) Samuel's father was Randal Wixson, ii) Randall Wixson's wife was Annie Fenton, iii) Annie Fenton was Annis Wixson. {1}.
