My grandmother, Mary Evelyn Nix, was born in the early 1900's in Oklahoma. She married Cecil Leroy McClellan. They had 4 sons 1 daughter. I am the daughter of their second son, Billy Joe, by his second marriage. Any cousins out there to help with the family tree I'm creating for my daughter? My grandparents settled around Arvin, CA about 1934.

Lucinda J. Boon and her husband Horatio M. Nix

Dalton 6671 — 17 Aug 2007 1:26:51 GMT

I am looking for Horatio M. NIX. Not a common NIX name and he does not seem to be a common man. I first met him when he married Lucinda J. Boon 10 June 1861 in Blount County Alabama. She was the daughter of Mary Alexander and Tyre Boon, and the Granddaughter of Mary and Daniel D. Alexander. My ggg-grandmother was also a daughter of Daniel D. Alexander and a younger sister to Mary, her name was Lucinda so it appears that Mary named her daughter after her sister, my ggg-grandmother. In turn it appears that my ggg-grandmother named her first son for her sister's husband Tyre.
But I am searching for Horatio. My knowledge of him is spare, but when they married Lucinda was 35 years old and it appears this was her first marriage. So I estimate that Horatio could have been between 20 and 40, born between 1821 and 1841. The Boon and Nix families were all from Pickens area in South Carolina, and can be found on the same census pages in 1830 through 1850, and then in Blount and Etowah Counties in Alabama. I know nothing about Horatio before they married.
My second bit of information concerns Horatio two months after his marriage;

Nix, Horatio M., enlisted as a private 10 Aug 1862 in Company E by Captain Lewis; on muster roll to 30 Apr 1863; muster roll to 11 Jun 1864 reported he was absent without leave; muster roll from 1 Jul to 31 Aug 1864 reported he deserted 10 Mar 1864; no further record.

I have some history on Company E. which shows that they served most of their duty in Alabama, and there was a serious problem, particularly late in the War, with men departing (deserting) as the unit was near their home town. However there is no indication that Horatio ever returned to continue their two month long married life. Lucinda in fact married a second time to Pleasant Sewell on 8 June 1869 in Etowah County, Alabama. And I am searching for any sign of Horatio M. Nix.

Hi,

Looking for any information on Joseph N. NIX b. 1849 who married, in Gwinnett County, Georgia 1877, Missouri HOLT b. 1854. They had a son Thomas J. NIX b. 1878. Missouri is the sister of Hines HOLT, my direct ancestor, and the daughter of Paschal HOLT and Julia Ann RICE. Joseph, Missouri, and Thomas are in the 1880 census for Gwinnett, but then fall into the genealogy black hole of 1880-1900.

Edward Nix (c1780-) (Georgia)

FLPerryman — 18 Aug 2002 4:42:09 GMT

Edward Nix moved from Covington County, Georgia, to Oglethorpe County in 1805. I am not sure when he was born (probably around 1780), or where, or where he died, nor do I know his wife’s name.

Edward had at least one child, a son named William Sanford Nix, who was born in 1804 in Oxford, Newton County, Georgia, and died in 1878 near Clayton, Barbour County, Alabama.

William Sanford Nix married Mary E. “Polly” Smith (1804-1865) on March 2, 1820, in Elbert County, Georgia, and they moved to Barbour County, Alabama, in 1845. They had five children, among them my second-great-grandfather David Edward Nix (1823-1902), who married Elizabeth Brooks Thomasson (1819-1895) in 1855.

Although I see other Nix families in and around the same areas in Georgia, I have not been able to tie them to this Edward. It is not likely, for example, that he is the Edward Nix born in 1789 in York County, S.C., who married Cynthia Patton in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, on July 24, 1808, because (a) the marriage predated William Sanford Nix’s birth by some three years and (b) various lists of their children do not show a William. It’s also unlikely that he is the Edward Nix who was born on February 2, 1778, in Oglethorpe County, because the Edward I am seeking did not live in that county until 1805.

Any leads on Edward Nix and his ancestors would be appreciated.

Nix DNA Project 2006 year end report

nixfamilytree — 24 Dec 2006 1:16:57 GMT

2006 has been a very exciting year for the DNA project. During this last year, we added 9 new project members!

In 2006 our membership also expanded beyond the US to include Nix families in Australia and Canada. Other American Nix families with known immigrant ancestors from Ireland and Germany have also participated. We hope to add more international Nix families in the coming year. In fact, our newest project member has a Nix ancestor immigrated that from Ireland to the US in the late nineteenth century.

So far, the DNA test have revealed 7 distinctly different Nix families. This number is very likely to continue to increase as more members join the project and "new" Nix lines are uncovered. Among the 7 lines, so far 2 have found matching members. One large group of matching participants now numbers 14 individual testees. Another group is composed of 2 individuals.

If you haven't already taken a look at it, be sure to stop by the "Nix General Info" section of our website at http://www.nixfamilytree.com . We host many records related to Nix individuals in the past.

I want to again thank all the DNA project members for their participation. Also I would like to thank the many Nix family tree researchers who have helped so much in tracing the ancestry of our project members lines. In many cases, they are Nix daughters who are unable to supply a male DNA sample themselves, but they help so much in the research end, or encourage a male Nix cousin or brother to supply a DNA sample. Their assistance is always appreciated!

I hope you all have a safe and happy new year.

I am trying to trace my grandfather's side of the family. My grandfather is William Eugene Nix Born 1929 died 1999. His father was William Samuel Nix Born 10\14\1906, died 1\27\1960. My great grandfather's siblings were:

Henry Nix, Pete NIx, Fred Nix, Tony Nix, Carl Nix. And his sister's names were: Jewel, Mary, Hazel, and Lollie.

William Samuel Nix married Lassie Mae Patterson.

William Samuel Nix is the son of John Nix born 1867 died on 1919 and Mary Elizabeth Goodwin born on 1871 died 1935.

Looking for a Nix mother or grandmother 1700's North Carolina (NC)

bbkingst — 8 Sep 2006 3:49:50 GMT

Hello, have just discovered my ggggrandfather's middle name was Nix. His whole name was Quinton (Quinten and various other spellings) Nix Cain.
He was born in NC somewhere around 1801 to 1803 and by 1830 was in Indiana.

I'm taking a chance that he may have been named Nix because it was a family surname somewhere.

I have looked for a possible Nix / Cain marriage, but came up empty handed so far with a date that could be possible. Would anyone have any information on a possible Nix / Cain marriage, or possibly a daughter of a Nix mother? Maybe the surname was his maternal grandmother's maiden name?

Any help or advice with Quinten or his family would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much.
Love,
Barb King

Looking for information on Mark and Marza (Margaret) Nix. Both were born in SC. I believe Mark was born about 1797 and Marza was born about1802. I believe Mark is the son of Benjamin and Millicent (Weeks) Nix and the grandson of Joseph Nix. Mark and Marza were in Calloway Co., KY in 1835 (have tax records). They were on the 1830 census in Williamson Co., TN also. Have Mark's will. He died in 1847 in Henry Co., TN. Marza then married a John Crawford (widower). Marza Nix Crawford next shows up on the 1860 census in Independence Co., AR where she went with her youngest son and daughter (my line - Lydia Ann Nix who married Angus A. BROWNING). Two of their sons married Alexander's. Any info would be helpful. Thanks

Horatio M. NIX

Dalton J. Nix — 3 Sep 2006 5:10:09 GMT

I am looking for Horatio M. NIX. Not a common NIX name and he does not seem to be a common man. I first met him when he married Lucinda J. Boon 10 June 1861 in Blount County Alabama. She was the daughter of Mary Alexander and Tyre Boon, and the Granddaughter of Mary and Daniel D. Alexander. My ggg-grandmother was also a daughter of Daniel D. Alexander and a younger sister to Mary, her name was Lucinda so it appears that Mary named her daughter after her sister, my ggg-grandmother. In turn it appears that my ggg-grandmother named her first son for her sister's husband Tyre.

But I am searching for Horatio. My knowledge of him is spare, but when they married Lucinda was 35 years old and it appears this was her first marriage. So I estimate that Horatio could have been between 20 and 40, born between 1821 and 1841. The Boon and Nix families were all from Pickens area in South Carolina, and can be found on the same census pages in 1830 through 1850, and then in Blount and Etowah Counties in Alabama. I know nothing about Horatio before they married.
My second bit of information concerns Horatio two months after his marriage;

Nix, Horatio M., enlisted as a private 10 Aug 1862 in Company E by Captain Lewis; on muster roll to 30 Apr 1863; muster roll to 11 Jun 1864 reported he was absent without leave; muster roll from 1 Jul to 31 Aug 1864 reported he deserted 10 Mar 1864; no further record.

I have some history on Company E. which shows that they served most of their duty in Alabama, and there was a serious problem, particularly late in the War, with men departing (deserting) as the unit was near their home town. However there is no indication that Horatio ever returned to continue their two month long married life. Lucinda in fact married a second time to Pleasant Sewell on 8 June 1869 in Etowah County, Alabama. And I am searching for any sign of Horatio M. Nix.

Hornm47 — 8 Jul 2006 9:27:53 GMT

The above referenced family lived in Union County and Hall County, GA in the 1900's to 1930. Lucinda Etta Nix died prior to 1920, but her children, James Stewart Nix (Stewart Nix - born 1897), Bertha Mae Nix (b 1899 and who married Bonnie Mack Simpson), Nellie B Nix born May 1900 who I believe died in childhood, Minnie E Nix (born 1907) who married Bob Cagle around 1928 and Ruby L. Collins (born 1904) moved to Hall County, with thier father (Thomas, Tommie, Tomie Nix) after her death.

I am particularly interested in any living descendents of these people as they are my half-uncle's cousins. His grandmother was America Nix (also called Mary Nix) born about 1873 in White County, GA.

If you have any information on these people, dates of marriage, who they married, etc, I would be most appreciative if you would contact me. I would love to be able to get my uncle in touch with "family" as he has become very interested in genealogy.
