Timothy Hixson was born August 13, 1739 in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. In New Jersey about 1770 he married Naomi Corwin who was born April 10, 1752, in Hopewell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey.

Little is know of Timothy Hixson's life in New Jersey. It is believed that he was living in Sussex County in 1771, but there had been changes in county lines during those years. Just when he moved to Sussex County is not known. Timothy Hixson and Naomi Corwin were married shortly before the beginning of the Revolutionary War, but what part he may have played during the war is not known. Timothy and Naomi followed her parents to Canada in about 1788. At that time Ontario was just a wilderness and living conditions were primitive. United Empire Loyalists moving into the area after the war were the first actual settlers, but they were soon followed by many others. Timothy Hixson only lived a few years after moving to Canada but it is believed that he was a farmer and blacksmith during his years there.

To this union eleven children were born: 1. Henry, born February 19, 1771, died September 16, 1852 2. Elizabeth, born December 25, 1773, died July 14, 1855 3.
