Earlene, Annette is sleeping late this morning and I have some time for genealogy. I need for you to look up the listing for a John D. NIX in the Altoona/Walnut Grove Cemetery. I am attempting to establish his first wife and she may be burried with him at Altoona/ Walnut Grove. This John D. NIX was the son of Mary Ann,the daughter of Jennings. She married another John D. NIX and moved to Mississippi before Jennings and family came to Alabama. The John D. NIX that I am looking for was their 12 child, the youngest. The John D. I am looking for was b abt 1872 in Mississippi, d 22 Oct 1939 and is buried in Altoona/Walnut Grove Cemetery. I have found him in the 1930 census living with what I identify as his secound wife.

1930 census Alabama Etowah County, Altoona-not city, district 55, page 4 of 5, family #39, line # 97

NIX, John D. Head, R, yes, M, W, 56, M, 25, no, yes, Mississippi, N.C., S.C., 83, yes, Farmer, Farm, VVVV, O, yes, no, 25, line #97 Charlsie, Wife-H, F, W, 37, M, 31, no, yes, Alabama, Al., Tenn., 82, yes, none.

This for sure sounds like a second marriage, he is 19 years her elder.

Now in the Bynum Book I found a NIX lady with no indication of her parents. Her name is Verna Nannette NIX and she is married to Silas Herman BYNUM. In the 1930 census I find Verna and Silas living next door to John D. NIX and what I identify as his second wife.

Is it possible that his first wife could have been Fanny Inman?

Fanny Inman died 13 March 1923 in Walnut Grove, but I do not have a cemetery for her. If she was buried in Altoona/Walnut Grove next to John D. that would be an excellent indication that she was his first wife. Also she died soon enough for John D. to have a second younger wife by the time of the 1930 census.

I originally had Fanny assigned to another John Nix, the son of Thomas B. and the Grandson of Tyre and Letty Holden. But there are reasons why I now think that is not correct. I will send that rationale in another e-mail.

Listed in the Alabama Marriage Records for 1800-1920. Should view full record for additional information and to confirm that it is the correct family line. Also in Marriages of Etowah County, Alabama Prior to 1900 Vol I . Earlene found it in Gadsden some where and I have a copy of the two pages with NIX Marriages. Book E Page 282.

Check this carefully also, could this also be John D. of Mississippi???????

There seems to be a conflict between marriage date and the birthday for Verna???

See John D. the son om Mary Ann and John D, of Mississippi.

I went to the Altoona/Walnut Grove Cemetery and took pictures of all the Nix's buried there.

I am sending you a copy of John D. and Fannie Nix's tombstones. They are buried side by side. I guess that means he was married to her. Also buried next to them are 2 children. Minnie died at 2 years old. The other one died the day it was born. On Minnie's it says daughter of J.D. and F.A. Nix.

If you need information on the others I have it also.
