Hi. I am researching William Nix born about 1802 in South Carolina. He died abt. 1853 in Pontotoc county, Ms. He was married to Edy, maiden name unknown to me at this time. Edy married Charles Pate after William was killed. Their children were 1) Elizabeth born abt. 1830-married Hezekiah M. Spann 2) Uriah Lafayette born abt. 1833 3) Mary Jane born abt. 1838 4) Leonard Calvin born abt. 1839 5)Burton Van Buren born abt. 1840 6) William Andrew Jackson born 1/3/1842 7)Sarah Ann Melissa born abt.1843 and 8) Missouri Ann born abt. 1848. My direct line is through William Andrew Jackson Nix' son Thomas Otto Nix born abt. 1878. William Andrew Jackson married Amanda Alzera Stacy daughter of Isiah and Fanny Elizabeth Franks Stacy from Tennessee. If any of these names are familiar or you have any information you wish to share, please e-mail. Thanks, Jolynne.
