Surnames: Nixon Weaver Grantham Ward
Selmah is a descendant of the 2nd of Anguish's 3 marriages:

(1) Frances Jones b: 1839-1841 in Georgia m: Abt Oct 1865 in Spalding Co., Georgia d: Bef 20 Dec 1883 in (Date of Angus's 2nd Marriage)

(2) Mary Susan "Ann" Nixon b: 6 May 1852 in Georgia m: 20 Dec 1883 in Coweta Co., Georgia d: Abt 26 May 1891 in Heard Co., Georgia Burial: Unmarked - Flat Rock Campground Cemetery/AKA: Lashley Family Cem - Heard Co., GA Father: Francis Nixon Mother: Ann "Annie" Elizabeth Grantham

(3) Julia D. Folds b: 12 Oct 1872 in Georgia m: Aft May 1891 d: 9 Jan 1950 in Coweta Co., Georgia Burial: Oak Hill Cemetery - Newnan, Coweta Co., Georgia

Mary Susan (Nixon) Weaver died shortly after the birth of their 3rd child [Selmah's Grandfather], Samuel "Coot" Linton/Leonard (Weaver) Nixon.

Samuel was raised by his maternal Grandmother, Ann "Annie" Elizabeth (Grantham) Nixon, and thus adopted her surname of Nixon, rather than his birth name of Weaver (this is all documented in the "A History of Heard Co., GA pgs 347-348).

Samuel's Grandfather, Francis Nixon, was the eldest sibling of my husband's GGG Grandfather, Harrison Nixon. They were sons of Joseph Nixon & Martha (Ward) Nixon.

Selmah tells me that it was an elder relative who led her to Anguish's burial place.

Anguish was the son of Doctor F. & Louisa Weaver of Pike & Fayette Co., Georgia:
