He and his men fought at Bunker Hill on June 17, 1775, his unit was one of the last to leave the field. After the battle Nixon was promoted to colonel of the 6th Massachusetts Regiment. Col. Nixon's regiment was placed into Gen. John Sullivan's brigade and took part in the New York and New Jersey campaign during 1776. In August of 1776, Nixon was given the rank of brigadier general and commanded a brigade in the Battle of Harlem Heights and later in the Saratoga Campaign. Gen. Nixon's brigade consisted of the 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th Massachusetts Regiments and reinforced by Cogswell's Regiment of Militia, Gage's Regiment of Militia and May's Regiment of Militia before the battle of Battle of Bemis Heights in October 1777. His brigade took part in the final assault; during this attack a cannonball passed so close to his head that his sight and hearing were affected the rest of his life.
