Overview
North of England I was born. The father was a wealthy teacher and the owner of a coal mine. While studying at Bernard Castle, I was interested in mathematics and astronomy and I became familiar with mathematicians and astronomers.
Dickson was elected an assistant when he chose Charles Mason for the observation team of Nigato. The arrival of the observation team Sumatra was delayed and landed, and the passage of the day in 1761 was done at the Cape of Good Hope. For the experiment of gravity at the Cape of Good Hope, I visited again and checked the precision of the watch at that time.
In order to solve the boundary problem between the Pennsylvania colony and the Maryland colony, from 1763 we did a survey of the borderline now called Mason-Dixon line with Mason. At the same time we measured gravity at many points.
Observation of the Venus' s sunrise, so we went. After returning to the UK I resumed the survey.
Origin of the name of referring to the southern part of the United States has the theory that the name of Dixon is the etymology from the meaning of the south of the Mason-Dickson line.
