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!
