I am so glad that you posted this about the Nix family. I have been trying to find out about them. Do you know if the Nix family married into the Claybrooks family. I have been trying to lacate info on the Nix family for sometime now. Just yesterday I went to the cemetery where they are buried. I do not have the info from the graves with me, but I will send you another e-mail with more info. Edward Nix and wife Mary are buried in Mt. Calvery Cem. Tallapoosa County. Not too far from Motley on a dirt road. The cemetery is in the wood and is grown up abt 40 - 50 graves probably. Only about 10 of them are marked. Some Allen and Bryans and Claybrooks are buried in this cemetery. I will send you all the info on this cem. that I took note of. I would be more happy to show you where the cemetery is, are you can locate it on Old Dutch Rd. and Dipping Vat Rd. if you go down County Rd. 79 from Motley Church going toward Daviston turn right on Dipping Vat. Rd. go about 4 miles (this is a dirt road) when you come to a fout way intersection turn right and about 20 - 30 yards up that road on the left is the Mt. Calvary Cem. I know that you did the work on Mt. Zion Cem which is just a few miles up the road. Ramond Thirft was my uncle and he is dead now but he told me that Mt Calvary Church "I think burnt" and they moved it to the present day Mt. Zion area and Mt. Calvary was a hard shell Primitive Baptist Church and latter Mt. Zion Methadist was built, side by side the area became know as Double Churchs and the two Churchs looked just alike. Latter Ramond Thrifts father John T. Thrift helped take the old Mt. Clavary Church down for the lumber. I hope I have this story correct. I would love to have more info on these two cem. I do believe my GGGrandmother Mary Elizabeth Colley and her family are buried at Mt. Zion Cem along with her brother and parents in unmarked graves. Uncle Raymond told me that his Grandparent are buried at Mt Calvary with the Nix family but I know they are in unmarked graves. He wanted me to go with him and put up markers before his death and I never did get around to it and I do not know where they are buried are what there names are. His mother was Nicie Thrift not sure of her birth name a photo of her is on Reds Catfish site at the Mountain adult school. She was the second wife of John T. Thrift and is buried at Bethany with her son. The Nix at Mt. Calvary was in the 3rd Alabama Infantry. I will send more when I get my notes up. Two Bryans are buried in the Cemetery born 1780-1790 but I cant make out the first names. Thank you for posting what you did. I was just there yesterday. Chris Smith
