Think you may find the information you are looking for on  the Scotland - Dumfries board - postings in Oct 07.

This was part of the discussion but you will find more.

Jacob Dickson (son of David) married Jean / Jane Bell on 6 Jun 1786 at Holme Cultram.  Jane died at Torpenhow in Oct 1787.
They had a son John, bp at Blenerhasset, CUL,  on 21 Oct 1787.  (3 days before his mother was buried)
Jacob then married Mary Elliott at Torpenhow on 17 Nov 1788,  and they had James 1790; Jacob 1792, Robert 1794, David 1796, Joseph 1799 & William 1802;  all bp Aspatria.  By this time the name was Dixon
Jacob was a Miller and died at Wythop, CUL in 1835.

The only way we were able to connect Jacob to the Mouswald family, was by a potential entry on the IGI, which led to a visit to Dumfries RO.  The entry gave no confirmation that it was the correct Jacob;  but an entry 30years later about John son of Jacob  and the places and wife mentioned did confirm the theory.

We also wondered about the relationship between Jacob Dickson (the clergyman) and 'our Dickson/ Dixon' family.  The entry relating to John, son of Jacob was the only one of its kind which made us wonder if it was because he was related.

The name Jacob carried on through different branches of the family,  but David did not. 

Hope this helps.
