3383 MEREDITH MIXSON, Jr., MEREDITH MIXON (19260), UNKNOWN

 

Meredith Mixson, son of Meredith Mixson, Sr., was b. abt. 1813 m. Mary Dickerson.

Note: John Leslie Mixon in his book The Mixon-Mixson family, combined two Meridith Mixon’s. The first was shown in the 1790 and 1800 census which places his birth abt 1765. The second was in the 1850 and 1860 census which places his birth abt 1813. I believe the second is the son of the first which is reflected here. Larry Mixon

 

Note: From letter of Meridith’s great granddaughter, “Meredith Mixson was called into the Confederate War. His son William went in his place. See letter below.

James Mixon, b. 1816 (1823?), d. bef 1910, m. Martha

Note: Several genealogies on ancestry.com list this James Mixon as son of Meridth Mixon.  I can find no direct evidence that makes this connection but Meridth Mixon died in Georgia at the time James is shown to be there so James could be Meridth’s son.  If anyone has supporting evidence I would very much like to hear it.  Larry Mixson
