Person:Preston Nix (1)

Alabama Death recores list "Preston J. Nix" ; d Feb 1934, which agrees with other data. Cited in the Alabama Death Records; Vol 6,Cert. xxx, Role 3, Page 2846.

Listed in the 1910 United States Federal Census; Alabama Etowah County; District 73, Warrior; Page 10 family #4;;; Nix, Nannie, head of house, age 37, children 6/6, ; Jethro, son age 21, single; Fannie age 16; Rosa age 14: Mary, age 12.

The census information confirms all that I have currently entered for the mother and these four children. Ages match DoD's that I currently have, and the fact that she is a widow confirms David S. Nix's DoD of 1888. Finding her living next to Daniel, who was the faher of her husband is also reasonable. But two children are missing and cause concern. Eula D. is missing from the home in 1990, I have her DoB as mar 1883, which is prior to the parents marriage date. I assume that I typed the date in error, ie 1883 when it should be 1893. That DoB would match all other facts and still make her 17 and possibly married and away from the home on 1910. The other problem is Joseph Edward (Joe) Nix, not at home. But if all my dates are correct hw would have been 20 and possible married.

Preston Jethro Nix was was the first son of David S. Nix and Nancy J. McClendon, The grandson of Daniel Nix and Elizabeth Ann Holden and the great grandson of Jennings Nix and Lucinda Alexander. He used his middle name in most of the records that I have found. Before I go on; a bit of family lore: The grandfather, Daniel ,was captured at Resaca Georgia and imprisoned at Rock Island, Ill from 25 May 1864 until 24 May 1865 when he was discharged. I am not sure when he got home, but their son David S. was born 16 June, 1866. Jethro's father David died as a young man of 32 and it appears that Preston took on that task. The 1910 census shows 21 year old Jethro with his widowed mother and several younger children. He married Jessie Ollie Stanfield in 1924, Etowah County, Alabama, they had two daughters. He joined several other Nix relatives of his generation and worked for the Gulf State Steel Company in Alabama City. His registration card shows his date of birth as 13 Jan 1889, I have 1898 so I must check to see if I transposed the last two numbers. He listed his mother as a dependant, but no wife, which agrees with my records. His physical features are given as: Height - Tall, Build - Medium, Eyes - Blue and Hair - Red.
