Chris, Glad you posted your query. During you research do you know of any other Nix families that also went to Ga? I have learned over the years that families travelled together, brothers, sisters and sometimes extended families. I am trying to find the parents of Mary Julia Nix who was born in Arkadelphia, Ark on 7/30/1858.
