Hi,

My grandmother was a Nix. Her father was Elijah Marion Nix and her grandparents were Ezekial Nix and Dorothy Crumpton Nix.

Can you tell me how the family name of Kirksey connects to the Nix line.

I'm attaching a web site that is very interesting.

Nix
The History Of An American Family










Out of the mist of the Appalachian Mountians and out of the mist of time a man named William Nix made his way through a virgin wilderness. With his wife Frances he traveled into lands never seen before by most white men. Along the way he left a legacy of children that would grow to help populate this land and in their own small way shape it's future.

Where did William Nix come from? Who were his parents? These are questions that seem shrouded in mystery and lost somewhere in the mist of those times.
