Notes for Princess Alice Aspinet - Direct Ancestor
Note from Cape Cod Indians
“Robert Wixon, a white man, married the daughter of Chief Aspinet and we find that many of his children, grand, great, and great-great-grandchildren, married with Indians, so that early in the eighteen hundreds the white blood was extinct, but the name stayed. However, as the red man's population decreased and the white men increased, it necessitated the family to again intermarry with the "Cape Cod Yankees". One of these Indians, a Potanamaquit ("village on the Herring River") Nauset, fought in the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, losing a leg in the service of the country. He returned to Potanamaquit to marry a white woman. His son, Captain Job Wixon, was a renowned sea captain of Brewster."
So many of Robert Wixam and Alice Aspinet’s descendants remained in the Dennis, area as is evident today. However their grandson Joshua Wixam, son of Barnabas, at the age of 60 moved with his family to Dutchess County, New York in 1755.
