He represented Westmorland in the 1st New Brunswick Legislative Assembly. He was born in Kirklevington, the son of Charles Dixon and Mary Corps, and apprenticed with his father as a bricklayer.

Originally a member of the Church of England, he converted to Methodism in 1765. In 1772, he emigrated with his family to Nova Scotia, arriving at Halifax and then moving to Fort Cumberland soon afterwards. Dixon purchased a farm at Sackville, also operating a small retail business. In 1776, he was named a justice of the peace and a judge in the Inferior Court of Common Pleas. Dixon became a customs collector at Sackville in 1784. He also served as highway commissioner, highway surveyor, assessor and overseer of the poor for Westmorland County.
