During the 1930's MISS ADA MIXON of Marianna, Ark., a descendant of the above, made a research study of the Mixon family, - made a trip to England, and with the help of a researcher there, found some very valuable and interesting information on the family. From her conclusion, the line came to America from Kent County, England. Records were found concerning Gooden Mixon, a ropemaker, and of Robert Mixon and his widow, property they owned and an administration of. same. Her position May be well taken, for Micah Mixon, father of above Samuel, had a brother named Samuel, who in turn had a son named Samuel Gooden Mixon. Following is a list of Samuel Mixon's (984).
