Then we must distinguish between John Dixon, the pupil of Lely, who was made "Keeper of the King's picture closet" by William III.; John Dixon, the mezzotint engraver, and N. Dixon.
The last named was an excellent miniature painter who is well represented in the Buccleuch Collection, although unmentioned in Redgrave's "Dictionary." There were eleven works by him shown at the Winter Exhibition of the Royal Academy in 1879 portraits of the period of the Restoration and somewhat later. In the catalogue of this exhibition Dixon is called Nathaniel; Mr. Goulding, the Duke of Portland's librarian, informs me there is evidence at Welbeck that this artist's Christian name was Nicholas.
There were two Englehearts, viz., George and his less talented nephew, J. C. D.
William Essex had a son William B. Essex, also an enameller.
I find two Ferriers, F. and L., probably father and son, and three Goupeys, Louis, also the brothers Joseph and Bernard.
Mrs. Mary Green was no relation to her contemporary, Robert Green, also a miniaturist.
Richard Gibson, the dwarf, had a daughter, Susan Penelope, and a nephew William, who both followed his profession.
Charles Hayter was eclipsed as a miniature painter by his son, Sir George.
There was a Moses Haughton, or Houghton, an enameller, who had a nephew, also named Moses, a miniaturist.
D. Heins and John Heins, his son, both painted miniatures at Norwich.
