1860 Federal Census, Alabama, Blount County, Eastern Subdivision, enumerated on 18th of June 1860, by J. H. Skinner, Page No 44, Image 44 of 106. residence #300, Family # 299,

Jennings, NIX,57, W, W, Farmer, 2000, 2350, Georgia, Temperance, 42, F, S. Carolina, James H., 2, M, W, Alabama, William Ellison, 21, M, W, Farm Laborer, p, 800, S. Carolina, Thomas J.

Ellison, 12, G, S Carolina, School, Frances Ellison, 10, F, W, S. Carolina, school, Martha Ellison, 8, F, S. Carolina, school, Berry, Ellison, 6, M, S. Carolina,

This means that the NIX family, at least some of them got to Blount County before the Ellisons, Harrison Jennings Nix was 7 and born in Alabama, while 6 year old Berry was born in S. Carolina. Check to see if I can find any land purchase by Ellison before his death, or was it all by William? Is there any way to locate the resisdence in 1860?

1900 U.S. Census � Alabama � Blount � All Townships ��ED# 16 Apparently Altoona was not a big town in 1900, and they were still undecided about what Conty they were in. This appears in District 16, Rays and Thompson, Blount County, Alabama
