My line from John Wallace Nixon is thru Andrew Jackson Nixon. I have found the family in 1850 census in GA and AJ Nixon in 1860 census at Jefferson County. AR and can trace him from there. I can't find the 1840 SC census that you mention in one of your posts showing the family in Chesterfield Dist. I would like the link to look this up if you would pass it on to me.
I also have gone to the library and looked up the obits for Alfred F. Nixon , Nancy and son Ollie who died at Pine Bluff, AR. This is the brother to AJ Nixon. I also found where he applied for Civil War Pension thru Jefferson County in 1911 and was approved. If you would like copies of the obits I would be happy to get them, scan and send to you.
Thanks for your help
Wayne Nixon

Hello Valerie,
I have gone back to the library in Pine Bluff to look at an article on AJN that I was unable to make a copy of. The microfilm is so dark that in some places you can't make out what it is saying and will not make a copy. I got a lady from the library to help me and we got it to where you can read most of it but still could not make a copy. I made notes on what I could read.
The name of the article is " Sudden Deaths in Nixon Family" and was published on Saturday, December 17, 1910 in the "Pine Bluff Daily Graphic." In the article, AFN talks about his brother AJN dying from injuries he suffered in a fall from a wagon near his home in Lincoln County, and goes on to talk about other brothers having accidents or dying in the war. It mentions J. F. Nixon being killed at the second battle at Manassas in 1862 and another brother W. A. Nixon ( microfilm really dark here so not 100% sure of name ) was killed before the end of the war. J. H. Nixon was killed in 1888 after a team and wagon was involved in a runaway. the article talks about survivors being A. F. Nixon of Pine Bluff and ( dark spot ) X number of brothers in Georgia.
I am going to check in Little Rock to see if I can find the article there and get a copy.
Wayne
