Hello Larry   By way of introduction:  I am Sandra Joyce Mixon (Barrett-Hughes) Like many others in your guest book comment I too accidentally came across your Mixson book.    Fascinating history.  
   So, background.  I am the daughter of Edwin Burns Mixon (7641), granddaughter of Eldred Orestes Mixon (1581), brother Edwin Burns Mixon, Jr.  (7650).    My grandmother Cynthia Brantley.  She and other family members did two family books ,  The Mixon Book and the Brantley Book.  Lots of family history, stories similar but not nearly as detailed as your book(s).       I do have a hand drawn pen family tree drawn by Johnnie B. Mims. in 1978.  I believe the Mims were on the Brantley side of the family.    In this family tree it is noted "In 1768, David Mims was one of the four leaders of TheRegulators in North Carolina, a strong, very active organization in an era that preceded the American Revolution.  On May 16, 1771, The Regulators faced the English army theAlamance River, claimed to have been the first blow struck for American Independence"  
   I never have actually researched this but it is always amazing to trace back one's family genealogy and the possible historical moments therein.   
   I just wanted to reach out and say "hello" to someone who possibly is a 2nd, 3,rd, 4th cousin?   It is always a mystery when one starts down the path of discovering one's ancestry isn't it?  

    I applaud you and your great effort for the research and for putting in written format the history of the Mixson/Mixon legacy.  Something that is sadly getting lost with AI, computer research.   Although there is the argument that the outreach with the AI and computer does have merit for finding out the "extra" historical factors.  

    Great job.  I looked to see if the book(s) were still in print and sadly I see that they are not.  Keep up the good work.   Bless your heart for providing all of us with these materials.

I guess it took me a few too many years to find this website and give proper credit. I'm glad it's a place where we can still discuss our roots. I have been chasing my Megason/Mixson line since 2007... but I had a few kids and took some years off :-) I have traced my line back to Michael Mixson/Megginson using DNA and historical records. This website has been very valuable as a resource and I would be happy to collaborate with any of my cousins on the research.

If you’re reading this, say a prayer for Betsey Davis, Frances Gash, and
John Ordin from the Overland Hills church up in Bellevue. I don’t know if
this is the right place to ask for that, but I figure it can’t hurt. Their
brother Scott is undergoing chemo again.
I was trying to write something else here, but it keeps erasing when I press
the wrong thing. Anyway, thank you. - John B.

I am the grandson of Ernest Jesse Mixon entry 22416 who is the son of Elmer
Mixon 22413 who if reading this right is the son of Claude Duval Mixon
20594, everything looks pretty close but when I look at my grandfathers find
a grave.com it show his parents as Parker and Sallie Fisher. I do know that
my grandfather did live in Corsicana state home after his mom Lou Emma
Ramsey died. It is crazy how may Mixon's there are. I am curious though how
to find Lou Emma Ramsey even though she is not a Mixon by blood. Very
interesting web site to study my history and how accurate it appears to be.
Ernest Jesse Mixon 22416 and Rose Marie Schuman Mixon did have 9 children,
Ernie 22420, Patrick 22421 and Barbara Mixon 22422 as well as Patrick's twin
brother Mike, and then my mom Elizabeth, then Jennette, Raymond, Gerald and
Beau.

I'm very happy to come across your website and thank you for all the work
you have done. I am number 4770 in the book. At one time I had a set of
the 3 volume history I got from my Dad, Jesse Albert (4760) who got them
from Wayne Mixson the former Lt. Governor. Unfortunately they seem to have
been lost in a move in 2010. There used to be a Mixon/Mixson family reunion
on Wayne Mixson's property outside Marriana back in the 1980s which I
attended several times.

For others reading this we are from the Bonifay, Fl area. My grandmother
was Cassie Anderson.

Hi Larry. I came across your research purely by accident but am so glad
I did. I am not a Mixson but have a Mixson in my direct line. My
grandmother Mozell was a Stewart. Her father was William Benjamin mother
was Lula Clark. His father was Soloman Thomas Stewart 1847-1920. Soloman
married 2 sisters Nancy B. and Missouri Ann Mixon. Both had children
with him. They are the daughters of David Jesse Mixon and Lydia Kirkland.

Your page has helped me clear up some things but many more questions have
popped up. I am grateful for your patience and wish I could help do my
ancestery just like this. You have made it easy to follow and search for
our past family members. Thank you for sharing your hard work with the
rest.

Sincerely,
From me to Mixons

Hello, I was at the family reunion in 1969 when I was 8, where the Mixon-
Mixson book premiered in first edition, and was offered for sale. I have a
copy of that first edition, and haven't yet seen what's in the 2d and 3d,
but looking forward to it. My branch has historically been mostly in
central and east TX, going back through the descendants of James Redding and
Julia Ann McClammey Mixon, who settled in the area in the 1850's. Thank you
for doing the work involved in digitizing the book, I look forward to
exploring it.

Hi Larry!

It has been a pleasure to find this reference for my
family tree build. I am in the infant stages,
literally a few days into this journey. My primary
family is very small and decreasing. I have limited
knowledge of my family history and feel slightly
ashamed of this.

My mother is Joyce Mixon (Thompson) #1692. I
remember her father, Owen Mixon #1546, fairly well
before I left Ft. Smith AR. Her mother Vearldean
(Irma) Carter passed away in 2018. I did not spend
enough time with her and the plethora of knowledge
she held.

Thanks again for the effort you put forth.

Cheers! Glen

I am the granddaughter of Atticus Mixson a Rosalie Ulmer Mixson of Hampton County in South Carolina. I was born in 1944 and have recently gotten interested in researching my family history.

I was excited when I saw the reference to the Mixsonian web site a would be very interested in hearing from you and your side of the family.

I grew up in Yemassee, SC and there were also Mixon's living there as well as the Mixson's. I always knew there was a connection but never knew what was what.

First of all, the work on this site is absolutely wonderful. Thanks for doing a super job. I am interested in hearing from the Ichabod, Duncan, Oscar line of the Mixons from Clay, Chickasaw, Webster, and Calhoun Counties of Mississippi.(my line). I am wondering if you could share where you got the information on Oscar Mixon #2133. We run into a snag when researching his spouse; there seems to be conflicting information that we want to either verify or correct. Oscar's son, Charlie, was my grandmother's first husband.

an arranged marriage. It was years of having four
children before she married John Spinks. My 2nd
cousin said, Grandpa John wouldn't marry her till
she became a Christian. (It wasn't godly of him to
keep her having their children. He could of should
of waited. Anyhow, Larry. I think Felder and
Florence loved each other and what a novel that
could become. Her dad was an alcoholic.
I love all the work in this Mixsonian. God Bess you.
