Nixon, Asa Ward, 1885-1955, Bluefield, WV

rickhill123 — 24 Nov 2008 12:53:29 GMT

Is there anyone in Bluefield who is able to take a photo of the brick house at 2014 Washington Street? This was the home of my maternal grandparents, Asa Ward and Juanita Mae Hypes Nixon, who built the house and lived there until 1974 when my grandmother died. I have many childhood memories of this house and yard but have not been back to Bluefield since the mid-70's. I'm sure the house has seen some changes since i was last there but I would still like to have a photo for my records. Let me know if you are interested and willing and I will send you my email address so you can send me the photo. Thanks so much for your time and effort.

Nixons/Murrays/Cairns/Gordons in Cavan/Tyrone

Paul Nixon — 2 Oct 2004 4:43:48 GMT

I am looking for additional information regarding my ancestry in Ireland.

My grandfather (father's side) was William Thomas Nixon (1881-1973), married to Sarah Elizabeth Lloyd Murray. They are buried in Kildallon, Co. Cavan.

My grandfather (mother's side) was Robert Cairns, married to Eva Gordon (I believe this was her maiden name). They lived in Ballygawley, Co. Tyrone.

My GGF (GF's side) was Thomas Nixon, married to Mary Jane Nixon nee (unknown). They are also buried in Kildallon, Co. Cavan.

My GGF (GM's side) was John Murray (1849-1922), married to Mary Anne McLean (or MacClean) Bowler (1855-1905). They were married in Belmullet in 1875. There's a John Murray and Sarah Blakely above them married Feb. 20, 1840.

I have some additional information on some other Murrays but not much.

Does the above information link into anyone else's information? I would appreciate extending the known family tree as much as I can.

Thanks in advance.

John T. NIXON - St. LOUIS, MO

janet1003 — 5 Aug 2003 11:11:58 GMT

Researching any information on John T. NIXON, married to Mary C. LANCASTER, 22 April 1849.
Birthdate or deathdate of John T. NIXON is unknown. Parentage unknown. John never appears on a Missouri census.
Family lore states that John was a sailor and drowned in the Gulf of Mexico.

Joseph E. NIXON, the son of John T. NIXON and Mary C. LANCASTER is shown in the 1860 St. Louis Census as living with his maternal grandparents.

Seeking any and all information or insights on this NIXON line, or how to proceed to secure information.

NIXON family in Kansas in late 1800's

CynthiaJoDuran — 24 Sep 2008 7:01:27 GMT

I am trying to find anyone who may have family information on JD (the J could be John or Jehu the D is believed to be for Donaldson) and Sarah A. NIXON.

They lived in the Osborne and Levenworth areas of Kansas
from approx. 1850 on and are buried in the Cheyenne County Cemetary in Kansas. There ia a DAR star on the tree stump marking the place Sarah is buried, not sure who was in the Revolutionary war for her to have it.

They had three children AMOS WILLIAM NIXON deceased in 1879 from TB or Consumption. NANCY JANE NIXON, was 17 in 1880 census, living at homme w/ bronchitis. ELIZABETH ANN NIXON (LOVIN) PUTNEY (my great Grandmother) is also back at home in 1880 with a daughter ROSE, age 1, after her first husband JOHN LOVIN and his mother SARAH LOVIN are killed in the Shedd's Prarie fire of 1880.

I cannot determine where these NIXON's came from or who their families are. We do not know what happened to NANCY if she died young or married.

I am hoping someone out there has lost a JD NIXON in their family line and can help me locate his family. I believe JD NIXON was born in Penn. in 1834 or 1835. Both of his parents were listed as born in Penn. as well.

Sarah is born in Illinois in 1840 or 1841, both of her parents are listed as being born in Ohio. Her maiden name could possibly be LOVINE, Amos headstone reads son of JD and SA "LOVINE" NIXON.

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED:

Nixons in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia

vickimsallee — 19 Jun 2008 2:21:17 GMT

Hi,

My g-grandmother was Ada B. Nixon, born about 1891, died about 1964. According to census records, she was born in PA. She definitely died in PA. Ada's parents were James Nixon born about 1855 and Mary Nixon (don't know maiden name), born about 1863. James and Mary married in about 1887. In addition to Ada, they had two sons, Howard b. 1889 and Clarence b. 1894. Family oral history tells that Howard and Clarence both died of TB.

I believe Ada's father James (my g-g-g-grandfather) was Benjamin Nixon born about 1824. According to census records he was born in England and both his parents were English. He married Mary (don't know maiden name) born about 1834. According to census records, she was born in Ireland and both her parents were Irish. In addition to James S., Benjamin and Mary had Elizabeth born about 1854, George W. born about 1857, William J. born about 1879, Mary E. born about 1881, Benjamin born about 1866, Annie F. born about 1868, Emilie S. born about 1870, Clara C. born about 1872, John "H". born about 1877 and Alice A. born April 1880.

Ada Nixon married my g-grandfather James Sanders Sallee. They had one child, my grandfather James Sander Sallee. All lived in Philadelphia. Can anyone out there connect the Nixon family?

gwpage — 27 Jun 2008 5:38:48 GMT

Through the help of Brenda Hare in Cedar Rapids, we have posted a new web site to report on the four Y-DNA Surname Projects and testing of the surnames that I administer, or assist (PAGE, CRAY/CRAYS, JACKMAN, & NIXON):

http://www.PageY-DNA.org

In addition to having background information about these surnames and the Y-DNA results for each of these surnames, the web site provides info about Y-DNA testing in support of normal family history research. The site also provides links to read about these four surname Y-DNA Projects, and for males to order a test kit and join the project.

WW I letter from "L H Nixon"

kate_maley — 28 Jun 2006 11:29:03 GMT

I was recently sent a box of family papers from a cousin. In this box was a letter from a friend of my grandparents, a Capt. L. H. Nixon, regarding his experiences in France in WW I. He was evidently blinded while fighting but thought it would eventually heal. He and my grandfather, Michael Mulcahy, met together while serving in the 40th Infantry Division. I would be most happy to return this three page letter to descendants of his. Evidently he was from California. The letter is dated Jan. 6th, 1919 and was sent from Richmond, CA where he was recuperating.

Breen, Kithcard, Nixon, Cordock families 1850 - Cavan Ireland, New York

RobertBreen1946 — 4 Dec 2006 1:44:47 GMT

My Great Grand Parents Henry Breen and Mary Jane Nixon were married in New York City September 15, 1870. They subsequently moved to Jersey City. They both came from Cavan, Ireland and I am looking for information on their families. Henry Breen was born 1850 (all dates are esitmates) and probably sailed to the US in 1863. His parents were John Breen and Elizabeth Kithcard (possibly Cathcart). Mary Jane Nixon was born in 1850 and sailed to the US in 1851. Her parents were John Nixon and Mary Ann Cordock (possibly McCordick).

It is unlikely either came over with their parents, but both may have arrived with other relatives. Henry with Patrick and Honora Breen, who may have settled in Connecticut. Mary Jane could have arrived with relatives John Nixon(1850) and a Martha Nixon(1823).

Cora Nixon (1866-1952) born Monroe County Ohio

MilfordKirby — 24 Jan 2008 4:20:18 GMT

Can anyone help identify/confirm parents of Cora Nixon, born 1/17/1866, Monroe County, Ohio? Married James H. Vanaman, 12/17/1884, Marshall County, WVA. Died August 18, 1952, Marshall County, West Virginia. 1910 census, Belmont County, Ohio, shows James (surname misspelled as "Venman") and Cora's household including James's mother-in-law [presumably Cora's mother] as Nancy Singledecker age 64 born Ohio, who bore 7 children of whom 6 were still living. LDS IGI files found on Ancestry.com show that a Nancy Nixon married a John Ensley in Monroe Co. Ohio on 11/17/1870, and that a Nancy Ensley married a Joseph Sindledecker on 7/13/1879 in Monroe Co. Ohio. 1870 census (taken prior to November marriage) for Monroe County Ohio shows Edward Nixon's household right next to the household of James Ensley. Edward Nixon's 1870 household has a daughter Nancy Nixon, age 21 [she is listed as age 4 in Edward's 1850 household and as age 14 in Edward's 1860 household - seems to have been born in 1846, not 1849]. James Ensley's 1870 household has a son John, age 36. I surmise that this Nancy Nixon married her next door neighbor shortly after the 1870 census, and then married Joseph Sindledecker or Singledecker in 1879. But Nancy's daughter Cora was already 4 years old in 1870. Who was her father? Nancy and Joseph Sindledecker appear in the 1880 census for Wetzel County, WVA, with several children (but not Cora). Nancy J. Sindledecker, a widow, having born 7 children, appears in the 1900 census for Wetzel County, WVA, as a lodger in the Weekly household. Cora Nixon Vanaman's death certificate states her father's name as Edward Nixon, and her mother's name as "no record". I think this was in error, and that Edward Nixon was her maternal grandfather. If any Vanamans, Nixons, Ensleys or Sindledeckers know who Cora's parents were, I would appreciate the information.

Michigan & Canadian Nixons

TLNixon63 — 8 Oct 2007 10:58:09 GMT

My Great Grandfather James Nixon was born in Oswego, New York, USA, 24 Dec 1839. His father is John Nixon, mother unknown. The family moved to Michigan in the spring of 1840. James was educated in Detroit, MI. We havn't been able to find any information on the family again until James resurfaced in Missaukee County, Michigan in 1872.

He married Jennie Rohrer or Becker in Cadillac, Wexford, Michigan around 1876. She was born in Canada in 1860. The 1880 Census report shows a Samuel and Mary Becker of Canada living with them. The 1900 Census shows a sister-in-law Elenor Rohrer of Canada living with him. We belive James had close ties in Canada 3 of his 4 children moved to Canada between 1910 and 1920. His only son at the time, James McKinley Nixon dob: 26 Nov 1896, joined the Canadian Infantry during WWI, he was killed in action and buried in France.

My uncle has found several post cards from Pennsylvania and I have found several post cards from the St Paul, MN area. None of them have been written on and there is no published year on them.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Richard K. Nixon1/10/2008 - Richard K. Nixon 59, of Boise passed away suddenly of a heart attack on Friday, January 4, 2008. He was born in Dunkirk NY on September 18, 1948 to Charles and Margaret Nixon.

Richard grew up in Brocton, NY and graduated from Brocton Central in 1966 where he lettered in football, basketball and band. After attending a year at Alfred State College in NY, Richard enlisted in the U.S. Air Force as a computer programmer, and was stationed at Mt.

Upon his honorable discharge from the service in 1972, Richard and Janet relocated to Boise where he attended Boise State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Business, with an emphasis in marketing. Richard worked in information technology in Boise for many years, and received a certificate of recognition for outstanding achievement from the Governor of Idaho in 1992.
Richard was an avid golfer, playing in and winning many tournaments all over Idaho, and very much enjoyed the camaraderie of his golfing buddies. He was also a passionate Boise State Bronco fan. His love of golf and the Broncos was surpassed only by his devotion to family. Richard especially found great joy in his grandchildren, Madeline and Andrew, with whom he developed a very special bond.
He supported them in all of their
sporting and extra curricular activities. Richard is survived by his wife Janet, his children Rich Nixon and Lori Evans (Matthew) of Boise, his grandchildren, Madeline and Andrew, his siblings, Janie Lus (Chuck) of California,

and many wonderful
friends. In addition to his parents, Charles and Margaret, he is preceded in death by Uncle Ken and

Accidental Death of Young Nixon

maryachtrh — 30 Nov 2007 10:44:40 GMT

Appears in "The Wapanucka Press" 23 September 1902 Wapanucka, Johnston County, Indian Territory, now Oklahoma

PECULIAR ACCIDENT

A Young Man Had an Eye Pierced by Tines of a Fork, Dying Shortly

Ada: A very sad and distressing accident is just reported from Five Mile prairie, about twelve miles east from this place. A young man named Nixon with another party were hauling hay, Nixon was on the wagon loading it. In pitching the hay upon the wagon the tines of the fork became detached form the handle, one prong sticking Nixon in the eye, and as supposed, pierced his brain. The young man fell over unconscious, lingered a few hours and died.

Hey folks,

I just got my Grandmother's death certificate - Emma Lou Moninger (Monninger)Nixon. I found on the 1930 census that she was married to Edard E. Nixon. (I am not sure if that should be Edward . . .) Anyway, I have found some information on her side of the family, but nothing on his. Not even his parents' names. If anyone has any info that would be cool - or if you need some I might have, let me know.

Mathias Nixon of Jefferson, Morris, New Jersey

MaryTodisco — 14 Nov 2007 12:54:48 GMT

Wondering if anyone is researching the Nixon's of Morris County. My 3rd great grandfather was Charles Nixon, b. 1816. He married Mary Whitehead. I've been trying to find out who his parents are. I discovered a Mathias Nixon b. 1768 living in Jefferson with a son Charles's age living in the household.

I've been doing research for about 4 years now and have over 6000 names in my tree. One commonality I have found with a lot of my colonial family members is that they tended to live near either the wife or the husband's family when they first married. On page 313 of the Jefferson index for the year 1840 I found Mathias separated by only one house from William Whitehead, Mary's father. Trying to do some detective work here, but would love to know if anyone else is researching Nixons in Morris, New Jersey.

Nixon - Cavan, Manhattan, Jersey City

RobertBreen1946 — 4 Nov 2007 3:37:50 GMT

My Great Grandmother is Mary Jane Nixon, born about 1850, most likely Cavan, Ireland, and married Henry Breen (born about 1849, most likely Cavan, Ireland) in Manhattan in 1870, she died 1891 in Jersey City. They had five Children: Ellen Breen (married Robert Hunter), John Breen (died as a child), William Nixon Breen, Robert Samuel Breen, Mary Ann Breen.

Her parents are John Nixon and Mary Ann McCurdock. (could be McCordock)

She had two brothers: Robert and John Nixon.

Robert Nixon, born about 1845 in Cavan, Ireland, married Ellen Patterson (born Donegal, Ireland about 1849) in Manhattan in 1871. They had two children: John Nixon born in Manhattan in 1875 and Mary Jane Nixon born in Manhattan in 1882. By 1900, they had moved to Jersey City. Robert was a policeman. Ellen dies before 1910, Robert before 1920 – I will pursue this in the NJ State Archives Records.

John Nixon was born about 1850, most likely Cavan, Ireland – I don’t think he is a twin of Mary Jane, just can’t get the dates precise enough. In 1880 he is living with his brother Robert in Manhattan. I can’t track him further.

Most likely immigration dates are Robert (1865), Mary Jane (1867), John (1871).

If anyone sees a connection in either the USA or Ireland, I’m interested in exploring it.

The descendants of A.. James Nixon are well documented and lived in Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, and (George Nixon) in Loudoun Co., VA in the 1700s.

Last Wednesday Thomas J. Nixon was stricken waith paralysis at his home in Richmond, Ind. He died Monday at the age of 75 years. The funeral was held this afternoon. He had been a prominent railroad man and was well known in Fort Wayne. In 1851 he was appointed agent for the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago railway at Alliance, O. He filled this position acceptably for ten years, when he was appointed master of transportation for the western division of the P.F.W.&C. railway, with headquarters at Chicago. In July, 1864, he was appointed assistant superintendant of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Chicago railway. He was afterward superintendant of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Fort Wayne railway and when the road was leased to the G.R.&L. system he remained in its employ until January 21, 1891, when he tendered his resignation, feeling that he was getting too old for active duty.

I realize this isn't much to go on. I don't have access to any OH records for marriages or births, etc. Hoping someone might have some Nixon's from OH, and can make a connection to Knox Co, IL.

James Nixon b: 24 Dec 1839 in New York

TLNixon63 — 24 Aug 2007 12:07:47 GMT

I'm trying to find the family of James Nixon b:24 Dec 1839 in New York d:11 Dec 1909 in Missaukee, Michigan, USA. I haven't been able to find his middle name on anything so far. Census records indicate his father was born in New York and his mother was born in Ireland.

According to family members he ran away at an early age, story being his father didn't think it was appropriate for him to fish on Sunday. I haven't been able to find any information on him prior to his arrival in Missaukee County, Michigan, USA in 1878 when he purchased land.

He was married to Jennie Becker b:1860 in Canada d:1898 in Missaukee, Michigan, USA. Location of Marriage is unknown. Both her parents were born in Canada. After Jennie's death the 1900 census report shows Daughter-In-Law Elener Rohrer b: Sept 1872 in Canada living with him. Both parents were born in Canada.

My sister's notes say he was educated in Detroit, Michigan.

Hermann Dietrich Ordemann/Ordeman b. 1812 Bremen, Germany

nordemann — 21 Aug 2007 10:36:24 GMT

In the NIXON family tree on ancestry.com Hermann Dietrich ORDEMANN/ORDEMAN, born 30Nov1812, is listed. Because I don't have full access to ancestry.com I can only assume that the following wrong information about Hermann's ancestors is stored there: that his parents where Hermann ORDEMANN and Johanne Magdalene ROSENTRETER. Source for this information is possibly a document prepared from a descendant of Hermann.

(The same wrong information is possibly found in the NYE and LAWRENCE family trees as well as in the One World Tree.)

By research of civil and parish registers of Bremen, Germany and surrounding places I found out that this assumption is wrong - there is given no proof for it by the author, too.

The parish Register of Berne (spelt like the English name of the Swiss capital Bern) on the Weser river, opposite of Bremen, shows that Hermann's parents are Hinrich ORDEMANN and Gesche Margarethe HELLMERS, his third wife, and that he was born in a village now belonging to Berne on 30Nov1812, christened on 6Dec1812 in Berne. The family belongs to another branch than the couple Ordemann/Rosentreter. The correct descendancy for Hermann can be found on my (ooops! - German language) homepage http://privat.genealogy.net/ordemann in the genealogy called "du1".

I would appreciate if the owners of the anmed trees conrtacted me to get the correct information.

Sarah Nixon, Jane Nixon, and Jasper Newton Johnson in Missouri

domenickbertelli — 4 May 2007 3:10:18 GMT

I am looking for information on Sarah Nixon (I believe this is a married name), whom I think was born in the 1820s in Virgina, her daughter Jane Nixon (b. 1846 in Missouri), and her son-in-law, Jasper Newton Johnson (b. 1847, probably in Virginia, who probably married Jane in the 1860s).

I believe Jasper died between 1876 and 1880 in Missouri, after having two children: Mary Newton Johnson, and Annie Johnson.

After Jasper died, Jane remarried Peter Hofman, and had at least one more child.

Jasper was said to be of Swedish descent, and a minister, or the son of a minister.

Mary Newton Johnson married Charles Klingensmith (apparently an elopement when Mary was rather young) and had a large family.

Would like to trade information if these people seem familiar to other searches.

Mary CANARY married NIXON - Clark county Indiana 1880-1899

sabromavage — 26 Jun 2007 4:25:27 GMT

I would like to learn more about the NIXON male who married Mary CANARY, daughter of Kate CANARY sometime after the 1880 census and before 1889, probably in Clark county, Indiana.

Mary CANARY appears on the 1880 census of Jeffersonville, Clark county, Indiana as a 24 year old single woman in her mother's household. She is mentioned in her mother's 1899 obituary as Mrs. Mary NIXON.

My connection is through Mary's half-brother, Jacob KEEBLE. I want to learn more about his mother and hope the extended family will supply additional information.

Jacob Keeble was born 6 April 1837, in Kentucky. His death certificate lists father as Lawrence Keeble, born Germany. Whoever gave that information did not know Jacob's mother's name or place of birth, or Jacob's place of birth.
Katherine "Kate" KEEBLE CANARY is buried in the same family plot with her son Jacob and his wife Celia. The three share a large headstone, which lists the couple by their individual names but lists his mother as "Grandma Canary" rather than by name. The monument also gave only a date of 1899 for her death.

Luckily, the WPA (Works Progress Administration)made a list of obituaries in the local newspapers during the Depression, and that list included Mrs. Canary and the matching date from the headstone.

From the obituary of Kate Canary:
The Evening News (of Jeffersonville, Clark county, Indiana)
3 Aug 1899, front page
AGED Woman Stricken by the Unwelcome Visitor
At the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Nixon, 423 Walnut street, last night at 10:30 o'clock, Mr. Katherine Canary breathed her last. She was a good, kind Christian woman and was 86 years of age. For many years she had lived in this city and had a large circle of friends. Her home for the past few years had been with her daughter.
Paralysis was the direct cause of Mrs. Canary's death and she had been sick for some time. She was married twice and leaves eight children, 14 great-grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Her own children are Jacob Keeble, Mrs. Maggie Kirkamp, Mrs. Lizzie Broy, Mrs. Kate Leclare, Mrs. Charles Blythe, Mrs. Mary Nixon, John Canary and Henry Canary.[end obit]

Katherine Keeble Canary's death certificate has not been located.

In summary:

Lawrence KEEBLE (born Germany?) married before 1837 to

Katherine "Kate" __?___ born circa 1810-1813 Germany? (census & obit); died 4 Aug, 1899, Jeffersonville, Clark county IN; buried Eastern cemetery, Jeffersonville, Clark county, IN.

Katherine KEEBLE 2nd married to __?__ Canary.

Children of Katherine KEEBLE CANARY:
1) Jacob KEEBLE born 6 April 1837, KY (death certificate); married 15 Nov 1860 Jeffersonville, Clark county IN to Celia Ellen SINKHORN Sinkhorn, daughter of Phillip SINKHORN* and Frances “Frankie” TAYLOR*

2) Maggie ? born before 1846 Kentucky; married __ KIRKAMP

3) Lizzie ? born c1847 KY married ___ BROY; divorced by 1880 in Jeffersonville, Clark county, IN.

4) Kate ? married ___ LeClare

5) Bernice ? born 1851 IN; married Charles BLYTHE. Lived in Jeffersonville, Clark county, IN in 1880.

6) Mary ? born c1855; married __ NIXON

7) John CANARY born c1856 Indiana

8) Henry CANARY born 1859 Indiana; died after 1880

I do not yet know the given name for Mr. CANARY, the 2nd husband of Katherine "Kate" KEEBLE. She must have married him before 1856, when son John was born, but the marriage may have occurred much earlier. Her maiden name is also unknown.

Taylor, Benjamin, and Enock: Nixon's or Nickerson's?

akfood — 9 Jun 2007 10:12:51 GMT

The hardcover books produced by the Nickerson Family Association say the names Nixon, Nickerson, and Nicholson in England all go back to a common name - Son of Nykor from the French Niche and the firstborn descendents of William the Conqueror's men in England were known as the son of Niche. Whether true or not there are commonalities in sound and spelling.
In America and Canada most of the tens of thousands of Nickersons descend from one man - William Nickerson - who came to Cape Cod from Norwich, England in the early 1600's. My attempts to discover a connection from my ancestors to the lineages in the Nickerson books led me to John Nickerson - who was born in Orange County New York in 1814, 1815 or 1820 depending on the census. There was a Nathaniel Nickerson who seems to be one in the Nickerson books in Orange and Ulster Counties between 1810 and 1840. However, I can't make the leap from John to Nathaniel with proof directly or through an interim generation such as Cole or Foster Nickerson who were in Orange County at that time.
In my efforts I also came across the name of Benjamin Nixon. He lived in town of New Windsor, Orange Co. NY. He was always intriguing because in 1820 his last name was spelled Nixon; but in 1825 its Nixson, in 1830 its Nixon and in 1840 its spelled Nickson. Between the 4 censuses I came up with a date of birth around 1775. He showed up in a couple of court of common pleas suits as Benjamin Nixon. In his family are 3 younger males: 1 born between 1794 and 1804 according to the 1820, and 2 born between 1804 and 1810 according to the 1820. In 1830 there are 3 males born between 1790 and 1800 and in 1840 one younger male born between 1825-1830.
Then there is Enock Nickson or Nixon. He was born about 1801 in New Jersey. In 1835 he was in New Windsor but by 1850 was in Montgomery, Orange County where he lived until his death in 1892. His wife was Jane B. He had a son John B. who was born in 1843.
Finally Taylor Nickson. He first shows up in 1835 in Town of Newburgh, Orange Co. In 1840 he is still there as Taylor Nickson. When I started this hobby of trying to connect to the Nickerson books in 2000, I became familiar with these individuals. In late 2006 I found an ancestral internet listing explaining the relationships. It said Nehemiah Nixon was the son of Benjamin and Polly Taylor Nixon of New Jersey and that Benjamin died in Orange County. But Taylor had gone west and died in 1892 in Arapahoe, Colorado.
Finally, with sites like ancestry.com making it easy to search thousands of census records in a second...Taylor Nixon showed up in 1850 and 1860 in Milton, Saratoga County, New York. But in 1850 he is a Nickerson: Nehemiah Nickerson 45, Lucetta 34, Joseph 32, John 18, James 16, Charles 14, Mary 12, Martha 12. In 1860 he's back to Taylor Nixon age 54, wife Lucy 49, Martha 17, Lucy 7.
In 1870 Taylor Nixon he is 63, born N.J. census place Dorphan KS. In 1880 he hasn't aged a bit, still 63 in Donothan Kansas.
That this is the same Taylor Nixon from Orange County the 1855 NY State (not federal) census clearly shows: Milton, Saratoga County 1855 Tailor Nixon age 47 b. New Jersey, Lucetta Nixon 44 b. New Jersey, James Nixon 20 b. Orange child, Charles Nixon 18 b. Orange child, Mary J. Nixon 16 b. Orange child, Martha Nixon 12 b. Orange child, Luceta Nixon 2 b. Saratoga child
Since both Taylor and Enoch Nixon had sons named John I cannot discount being a descendent of this family. And there was a Nehemiah Nickerson (or Two) born in New Jersey in the early 1720's who could be a namesake for Nehemiah (Taylor) Nickson. This Nehemiah Nickerson born in Cape May, New Jersey or across the Chesapeake or both (possibly two Nehemiah's) was a descendent of one of several Nickerson families who moved from Cape Cod to New Jersey around 1711. However there is more support for my line to be by way of Cape Cod, Connecticut and Putnam to Orange County thru Nathaniel Nickerson because a John Nickerson was in Walkill, Orange Co. in 1840 and Nathaniel was there from 1825 to 1835.

Md.,Nixon/James & Margrett(Botts)

japolk2000 — 19 Aug 2004 11:32:07 GMT

I am looking for information on James Nixon and Margrett J. Botts Nixon.

Bertram NIXON & wife Alice LAMBERT, Brooklyn, New York

mindfoggs2 — 6 May 2007 10:15:37 GMT

I would like to know if this couple ever had any children. And what became of Bertram and Alice.

As of the 1930 census, they are living at 125 East 55th St, Brooklyn, Kings Co, NY. Bertram is 27yrs old, b. NY and lists his occupation as agent, oil investing. Alice is 22yrs old, b. NY, no occupation. From the ages at first marriage, it appears that they married sometime in 1925. Living with them is Alice's brother, Thomas LAMBERT, Jr. 20 yrs, single, automobile mechanic.

I have found a Bertram NIXON b.27 Sep 1930 d. Jan 1982 Yonkers, Westchester, New York, United States of America in the SSDI. This birth is after the 1930 census so he is a possible candidate for a son.
Also, a Bertram F. NIXON, Jr. aged 21yrs in the crew of the ship "Empire State" in Aug. 1951 as well as a Bertram F. NIXON, Jr.,no age given, in the crew of the "SS Virginia" in Nov. 1956. Does anyone know if all three of these younger Bertram"s are the same person?

Does anyone recognize these individuals I've mentioned here?

If so can any of the following questions be answered:

Is this younger Bertram a son of Bertram NIXON and Alice LAMBERT?

Did Bertram NIXON and Alice LAMBERT have any children assuming that the above younger Bertram isn't their son?

When did Bertram and Alice die and where are they buried?

Thanks, any small bit of information will be appreciated.
