My great-granmother's (Mary Rowena Wiatt Wright) brother's name was Americus Conquest Wiatt. I know that they both had the nickname "Mex". I'm not sure how they came up with it but I can ask around to my family and find out. My grandmother was Mary "Dolly" Palmer (Wright) Pond. I'll let you know if I found out anything.
