Dear Kelly, I have an EDWARD NIX born 1817 married JANE PERRY 24 Dec 1839 Russell Co., AL. Children: Saphonia, John Edward (died Civil War), Ruth, Theodosie, Mary F., and Dow Perry Nix. My information is from Fern Nix, Rt. 5, Box 191, Greenville, Al 36037, 334-382-6271, who works on this line. Of course, there may be several Edward Nixes. My ancestor is JOEL ROSS NIX, born 1826 in Georgia; died 1910 in Hamilton Co., TX. Married #1 ELIZABETH SMITY; married #2 MARY MUIRHEAD. I think JOEL ROSS NIX is the son of ELIJAH NIX, who I think is the son of EDWSARD NIX. No proof. Many of the children of ELIJAH NIX were living in various homes in Catahoula Parish, LA when 1850 census was taken. Please, share with me a few more facts about your EDWARD NIX. Was MARY SKINNER a second wife? Hope we connect! Nadyne FAULKENBERRY Lynn Amarillo, TX
