Searching for info on parents of Thomas Nix Father= John Peter Nix, no dates known Mother=Lydia Mary Allison, no further info. Resided in Erath Co. Texas, abt 1890's

Hi all and especially Allen: Allen, I didn't read your original post on KNOX to NIX but just read a reply to you. I have a John Edward NIX b. January 27, 1822, Western District of Tennessee. Is this your John Edward? This family was is Georgia, Illinois, Tennessee, and Texas. I only have information on the ancestors of John Edward and his siblings but would love to share information with Allen or any others. Please contact me if this information fits in.

Alan, Sure wish I could help you with your John Edward Nix, but I can't. You did, however, give me a good laugh for the day! I am so glad there are others out there who cannot decipher the handwriting on these old documents!! Perhaps we are all so close to the forest, we can't see our family trees! I guess this shows it pays to have someone else look at things when we get stumped. Anyway, it's nice to know I'm not alone, Alan!

Boy, do I have egg on my face. I decided to show John Edward Nix's death certificate to my wife, who is Japanese, and ask her interpretation of the handwriting. Her immediate reaction to the handwriting that I read as "Danl Knox" was "Don't Know". After staring at it for 5 minutes, I think I have to admit that she is right. So never mind my question about changing names from Knox to Nix. The rest of my message stands. I would appreciate any information that anyone has on John Edward Nix.

After months of searching, I was finally able to locate and obtain a copy of my great grandfather John Edward Nix's death certificate. I was hoping to get information from his death certificate concerning the names and places of birth of his parents. Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed. First, in the spaces for name and birth place of his mother, there were only checkmarks. Second, the handwriting in the space for name of father was pretty much scribbled and very difficult to read. My best guess is that it says "Danl Knox." Of course, "Danl" is an abbreviation for Daniel, but I am puzzled by the "Knox." I do not know if it is intended to be his middle name, as in Daniel Knox Nix, or his last name, as in Daniel Knox. If the latter, does anyone know if such a name change from Knox to Nix was common or, at least, possible? The person who filled in this information and signed in the "informant" block was O.L. Nix (written fairly clearly), so it is unlikely that the "Knox" is a misspelling. My great grandfather was John Edward Nix, who died in 1924 in Plaska, Hall County, Texas. He was born in 1858 in Alabama, according to my mother. However, his death certificate indicates that he was born in "La" (Louisiana, I assume). He was married to Eliza Jane Prickett (or Pritchett), who was born in Alabama, I think, in 1868. Does anyone have any information on the family of John Edward Nix and Eliza Jane Prickett, such as names and birthplaces of parents, brothers and sisters, etc? Thanks.
