Hi list members, Above in the subject line are the two NIX family members I know of. Both are direct ancestors. Amanda Jane married William Thomas LEEPER, a lawyer. Their seven children were born between 1849 and 1865. She died in 1875 before she was 50, and William re-married. His second wife was Margaret Virginia YOKUM. I have Amanda Jane as born somewhere in TN. Her husband also had TN roots, in Williamson and Maury Counties, along the Leiper Creek, which was named for previous generations of the family. Amanda and William LEEPER spent most of their adult ilife in Wayne Co., MO, but I do not know whether they married before or after they came to MO. They were in Missouri by 1856 or so. If anyone is interested in our branch of Amanda Jane's NIX's ancestors, I can probably help some. Our interest is in their ancestors.
