Samuel Gooden Mixon, youngest son of John Mixon IV and his wife, was b. in Darlington District, SC about 1750, d. intestate, in Darlington District, 1817. He m. (1) Keziah Smith on Jan 27, 1775, at the home of Rev. Evan Pugh of Cashua Neck. He m. (2) Mary _____ (she joined him in a deed dated Feb 26, 1808). He m. (3) Sarah Truett, dau. of Elijah Truett, and mentioned by him in his will dated 1812. His estate was long in settlement, and Barnabas Wadford and wife petitioned the court for division of the estate on Jan 1, 1821, the petition naming all children of the estate and the widow. Final settlement was not made until Feb 23, 1829, after the death of Sarah in 1826. Three of the sons, Ichabod, John, and Elijah, did not share in final settlement as they had received advances from their father before his death that disqualified them from any participation.
