William "Billy" Dixon opened a post office at Adobe Walls in late 1800s. Billy Dixon died in 1909 and the post office closed in 1921. Billy Dixon was awarteded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery at the second battle of Adobe Walls. Before Billy Dixon died, the U.S.Congress tried to take the honor away since he was civilian scout and was not in the U.S. Army. He refused to return the medal and congress dropped the matter. His Medal of Honor is on display in the Texas Panhandle - Plains Museum in Canyon,Texas.

John Hugh "Irish Jack" Dixon, one of Bob Lee's strongest supporters, was a feight company owner/operator in Pilot Grove,TX from 1854 until 1876. His sons William, Simp and Dick Johnson, were major participants in the Lee-Peacock Feud in Fannin-Collin-Grayson-Hunt County. Simp Dixon claimed they were related to Billy Dixon. That could be true because Jack Dixon and Billy Dixon were from Missouri.

Simp Dixon was killed by a patrol of the 6th U.S. Cavalry at Cotton Gin in Freestone County and was buried in the Fort Parker Memorial Cemetery. Mary Elizabeth (Dixon) Hardin, John H. Dixon's sister, was the mother of John Wesley Hardin, the infamous Texas gunfighter. Simp Dixon and John W. Hardin often rode together in Hardin's early days in north Texas.

My g.grandfather Joshua David "Doss" Coffee is listed as a teamster in the 1860 Fannin County Federal Census. He worked for John Dixon from 1857 until 1861, the start of the civil war. He hauled cotton to the inland waterway port at Jefferson Texas and hauled clothing, household goods and foodstuffs back to Bonham and the Fannin County area. As the war came to an end, the freight hauling business and the economy began to suffer. During the war, what little cotton was harvested, was transported south through Dallas, Waco, Alleyton, Brownsville Texas and to Matamoros Mexico for export and to avoid the federal blockade.

In June 1869, Bob Lee was killed, and by 1871, every able bodied man in John Dixon's household was dead. Lewis Peacock was shot and killed by Dick Johnson, the Dixon boys half-brother. Dick Johnson escaped to parts unknown, but some old timers said he fled to Comanche County Texas, not far from where the Barekman, Hardin, Damron, Blanton and Coffee families finally settled. In 1877, Daniel Lee, Bob Lee's father, was shot and killed by an unknown assailant, ending the Lee-Peacock Feud. The Dixon Freight Company was gone by 1876. However, retribution continued for years afterwards towards ex-Confederates and suspected Lee supporters. My g.grandfather, Joshua David "Doss" Coffee, moved his family to Coleman County Texas in 1879, following the Blanton and Damron families.

See the movie, "The Outlaw Josey Wales" with Clint Eastwood, from the book, "Gone To Texas" by Forrest Carter. Carter got his idea for the book from the post civil war strife in Missouri and "The Corners" of Fannin, Hunt, Grayson and Collin County Texas.

Dixon's Mound in Pilot Grove Texas, also known as "Lick Skillet", still stands on Dixon's original State of Texas land patent. A State of Texas Historical Marker at Pilot Grove gives a brief description of the Lee-Peacock Feud.
