I am interested in contacting others that are also researching the WIXSON family or has connections to the WIXSON family. I have seen the surname on transcriptions spelled WIXON / WIXOM / WIXSON. I think that the spelling may have originally been WIXON and later changed to WIXSON.

My ancestor William Nelson WIXSON was born in New York during the 1830s, son of Henry WIXON, and died on April 12, 1911 in Clare County, MI. William first married November 11, 1858 in Benton, Yates County, New York to Elizabeth A. DAVIS and 2nd marriage on January 01, 1868 in Wood Co., Ohio to Mary A. BAWKEY. Mary BAWKEY, daughter of John Henry BAWKEY born Pennsylvania and Ann DAVIS born New York, was born July 03, 1845 in Ohio and died February 16, 1935. Both William and Mary WIXSON are buried Leota cemetery in Harrison, Clare County, Michigan.

William Wixson was listed on the 1900 Gilmore Twp, Isabella County, MI Census and other children resided in Isabella County during this time and in later years.

In 1895 my gr-gr-gr grandparents George William WIXSON, son of William and 1st wife Elizabeth A., and his wife Fanny Estella HEMMINGER was residing in Isabella Co., MI when their son Deloy was born, but the family moved back to Wood County, Ohio by 1900 and raised their family there.
