Hello Robert, I am assuming that Daniel, Oliver and Edward are 3 of the sons of Joseph Brown, who lived in Spencer County, IN from about 1816 - 1840, when they moved up to Porter County, IN. Some of the sons went over to Scott County, MO during the 1830's - 40's and were doing some flatboat work. This is my line and I don't know what their relationship to the Nix family. Joseph and his oldest son, Presley, both died in 1850 in Porter County, IN. Daniel Clinton is my direct ancestor and he and Presley's son, Daniel Clinton, and Edward (and probably others) moved to Lancaster, NE about 1860's (I assume for the free land there). They are buried there and I am having trouble getting their death information from the Wyuka Cemetery. I can't find out what happened to Oliver. There is an Oliver B Brown who married 2 times in Montgomery County, IN and 1 time in Union County, IN. Don't know if this is our Oliver or not. I have not seen the name Nix in any of our Brown line; however, there are 4 Brown children that are unaccounted for out of the 13 children Joseph had. Francis could very well be a daughter of Joseph. I have not seen her married to a Nix; but when I get the marriage records of Hardin County, Nelson Co., KY and Spencer County, Warrick County, IN perhaps she will show up there. Where were the Nixes before Warrick? There is also the possiblitiy that the brothers were boarders? Joseph married Susan (Susannah) Carter in 1808 in Hardin County. This family and others moved to Spencer County, IN with Thomas Lincoln and left Spencer County with Lincoln and others when they moved north. There are Browns that appear in Illinois with Lincoln and I assume they are also related; but have not figured that out yet! Do you have any other information? BTW, our Brown family also married into the Crawford family in NE...sounds like these are relatives traveling together. Where did your Nix family end up? Here is hopin'.
