Sons of Michael Mixon #2389

2392 JOHN D. MIXON, MICHAEL MIXON (2389), WILLIAM MIXSON (56), JOHN MIXON II (2), JOHN MIXON I (1)

 

John D. Mixon, s. of Michael Mixon & Sarah Brittain, b. Oct 27, 1750, d. bef. 1806.  Josiah Seth Mixson tells of a Michael Mixson that went to GA, and settled near Waynesboro. At the time, he was speaking of the brothers of his forefather, John Mixson, Sr., of Barnwell County. He did not state, however, that this Michael was one of the brothers. One John Mixon, wife, Nancy, was in Burke County by or before 1793. In 1801, they sold a 700 acre land grant he had received in Camden District, SC, 1789 (surveyed for him in 1786). One descendant of this family states that John was the son of Michael and Sarah Brittain Mixon that married Nov 3, 1747 in Prince Frederick Winyaw Parish. Since the 1820 census is now the earliest available census of Georgia, possibly this is the same Michael Mixon that moved into Burke County and died there before 1820.

 

John Mixon d. in 1806, and his descendant said that he m. Nancy Goodwyn, dau. of Theodore Goodwyn. The 1820 census of Burke County, GA lists three Mixon families next door to each other; Nancy Mixon, age 45 with 1 male over 45; Michael Mixon, age 26-45, wife 26-45, 2 males under 10, 1 female under 10; George Mixon, 16-26, wife 26-45, 1 male under 10, 2 females under 10.

 

Prof. Edward Mixon of Merritt Island, FL visited this Mixon area in the summer of 1968. He found no Mixons there, but did find some descendants, who gave him quite a bit of information as well as Bible records on the George Mixon family. The Michael Mixon in the 1820 census was, reputedly, the uncle of George Mixon. Michael Mixon had no slaves in 1820, George Mixon had 14 slaves, Nancy Mixon had 8 slaves.  Children:

*2393 Michael Mixon - b. Oct 27, 1790, d. Sep 17, 1870

*9452 George Mixon – b. 1799, d. Jun 7, 1874

 

2390 WILLIAM FRANCIS MIXON, MICHAEL MIXON (2389), WILLIAM MIXSON (56), JOHN MIXON II (2), JOHN MIXON I (1)

 

Willam Francis Mixon, probably William Francis Mixon, and probably the William Mixon b. 1753, baptized same year, and son of Michael and Catherine Mixon, Prince Frederick Winyaw Parish, SC He lived on the state line between North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as on the county line between Roberson and Richmond County, listed twice in the 1790 census of NC, same information, and in the 1800 and 1810 census of South Carolina; had two sons:

*2391 Charles Mixon

         Son - under age 10 in 1800 census

 

He was a Revolutionary Soldier, two vouchers issued to him, as follows:

Jul 30, 1784, to Messrs. Michael and Francis Mixon, for 2 pounds, 16 shillings for four sheep for Continental use in 1782. (Book "H", p. 195)

Jul 30, 1784, to Mr. Francis Mixon for 13 pounds, 14 shillings, 3 pence sterling for 32 days duty as Captain in the militia in 1782. (Book "H", p. 194).

 

Listed in the 1800 census with three slaves under date of May 6, 1803, W. Francis Mixon and his son, Charles Mixon, sold three slaves, "Jane, George and Steve" consideration seven hundred dollars, to James Coward. (Deed Records, Marlboro County).

 

Listed in the Marlboro District in the 1810 census, no Mixons are shown after that in that district or county. Capt. Mixon could have died in that area before 1820, or could have moved elsewhere.

2391 CHARLES MIXON, W. FRANCIS MIXON (2390), MICHAEL MIXON (2389), WILLIAM MIXSON I (56), JOHN MIXON II (2), JOHN MIXON I (1)

 

Charles Mixon, s. of William Francis Mixon and wife, was b. in NC (near SC line) ca. 1780. He had m. ca. 1802, joined his father in a sale to three slaves in 1803. He is shown in the 1810 census of Marlboro District, SC, with two males or sons under 10 years of age and two daughters under 10 years of age. Not found in the 1820 census of South Carolina, it is not known where they moved. So far, only one clue, or possible clue has been found. In the 1850 census of Livingston Parish, LA, Francis Mixon, age 39 is listed with family. He was still living in 1880 census at which time he said he was b. in LA, and his father was born in France. (Could he have misunderstood the question and thought he had been asked who his father was, and he replied "France?"). Perhaps some records may yet be found concerning this family of Mixons.
