(From Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Northwest Louisiana, p. 691):

"James M. Mixon, James M. Mixon, planter, Cotton Valley, La. This name is not unfamiliar to those in the vicinity of Cotton Valley as well as to those in the county, for he who bears it is numbered among the highly respected citizens of this community. He was born in Louisiana, and with his parents located in Claiborne Parish, when but a child, growing to manhood in that parish. Early in life he went to Texas, followed trading in stock, remaining in that State and Indian Territory until in 1887, when he returned to Claiborne Parish. He immediately engaged with A. K. Clingman as a traveling salesman in the nursery business, and he bought the farm where he now lives in the full of 1888. He was married to Miss Pinkie Loyd of Lincoln Parish, and the fruit of this union has been one child, Cortez. His father, Thomas Mixon, was a native of Mississippi, and a son of J. Miquel Mixon, who was a native of Scotland.”  James settled in Mississippi. His son Thomas Mixon, b. in Mississippi, moved to Claiborne Parish, LA”

 

Note:     The father of and grandfather of James Miquel Mixon are unknown. Some place James Miquel Mixon as son of Thomas Jefferson Mixon (JLM #506), while this Thomas Jefferson Mixon does have a son born in 1864, JLM has the son as being Joseph L. Mixon, b. Jul, 1864, d. Sept. 11, 1887 which is reinforced by the Joseph being buried in the same cemetery as his father.

The Biographical record above states that Thomas Mixon father was the “son of J. Miquel Mixon, was a native of Scotland”. James Miquel Mixon father thus could not be Thomas Jefferson Mixon^#506 as Thomas Jefferson Mixon^#506 father is George W. Mixon^#480.

James Miquel Mixon grandfather coming from Scotland also would imply that James Miquel Mixon is not a descendant of John Mixon, the headright of the Mixons.
