Nancy, the following information is from "The Mixon-Mixson Family" Vols 1, 2 & 3 by John Leslie Mixson; published 1969 McDowell Publications.
Vol 1 - page 112 "Mr. (Nathan) Mixon m. (2) Elizabeth Patrick, b. 1803, d. Jan. 14, 1873, on July 7, 1825."
The initial commentary on Nathan on page 112: "Nathan Mixon, son of Jehu and Fereby Belk Mixon, was b. in Darlington District S.C. 1791, d. May 1, 1877 in Louisiana. On Oct. 31, 1811, he was granted a passport by the Govenrnor of Georgia to pass through the Indian Nations to the western country. This was when Alabama was part of the Mississippi Territory. He obtained land grants located mainly on the Sepulga River in Southwest Alabama, near the county lines dividing Conecuh and Monroe Counties - his land in Conecuh. This was 1822. He obtained another grant in Autauga County, and bought and sold a lot at Claiborne, on the Alabama River. On July 16, 1818, he m. Sarahann Sparrows, b. ca. 1800, d. Sept. 13, 1824."
The follow-up comentary is as follows: "In the late 1840s, Mr. Mixon moved to Union parish, La., or that part of which was Jackson Parish in 1850, and later Lincoln Parish. In this area in La., he entered and bought several tracts of government lands. His brother, Joel, was there in 1840."
Vol 3: page 143 1830 Census for Conecuh Cty AL lists Nathan along with the number of males (3) and females (6) in his household including one female age 60-70. [As Nathan's mother was note in Al it is likely that this is Elizabeth's mother].
Vol 3 page 143 1840 Census for Conecuh Cty AL lists Nathan with number of males (6) and females (3) [it is likely that one daughter under 5 yrs in the 1830 Census had died; 2 females listed as 15-20 in 1830 {married? from 1st marriage} were no longer in the household; and the female in 1830 between 60-70 had most likely passed.]
Vol 3 page 207 Caldwell Parish (Created 1838 from Catahoula) 1860 Census lists Nathan 68 b. SC and Elizabeth 57 b. GA.
Vol 3 page 210 Jackson Parish (created 1845 from Union and Claiborne) lists Nathan[iel] 59 b. SC and Elizabeth 47 b. GA.
There are no entries with respect to Elizabeth's parents.
Sincerely, Dave Montgomery
