Does anyone know of Etta Luna married in 1888 to Edward Nix? Are there any children of this union? Marriage details? Is this the same Etta Luna who married Andy Gregg in 1895 in a civil marriage (JP)? Are there two Etta Lunas in Marshall County?? Need to be sure I am following the correct line. Anyone with information please help. Thanks Vicki

Have you seen the book, 2000 Descendants of Peter Luna? If not, try to loacte a copy. If may be helpful.

I found a marriage contract of Etta Luna and Edward on 2 Apr 1888 in Marshall County, Tennessee on ancestry.com/ I am the great-granddaughter of Etta Luna and Julius Edward Nix. They had three children: Myrtle Duanna Nix (my grandmother), born 30 Jul 1889 in Marshall County, Tennessee, Elbert L. Nix born Aug 1895 in Texas, Mary Lucile Nix born 23 Oct 1898 in Dulaney Community, Hunt County, Texas. I am not sure what happened to Etta Luna Nix. My Aunt Bea, Myrtle's daughter, said Etta Luna Nix died. I know that Julius E Nix is in the 1900 Census with new wife Aramenta S, and daughter Myrtle and son, Elbert Nix. Julius and Aramenta haven't been married a year yet in this census. Aramenta had no living children at the time. Just down below in the same census is (Mary)Lucile Nix, she is living with William and Melissa Frazier as an adopted daughter. Her birthdate is listed as Oct 1898. I think Araminta's maiden name was Rambo. Julius Edward Nix and Aramenta Rambo Nix had Elvin L. Nix born 17 Oct 1914 and Horace Nix born 1917 in Texas. I attended Elvin L. Nix' funeral on 12 Feb 1983 in Sweetwater, Texas. I don't know if there was another Etta Luna but Etta had a twin sister named Ella G. Luna who married Rupert (Rufus) Murdock on 07 Mar 1887 in Marshall County, Tennessee. I don't know for sure if Etta married Andy Gregg. It would have had to be soon after the birth of Mary Lucille Nix in 23 Oct 1898. The dates don't match. I hope this helps. Cynthia

Ella Gay Luna and Etta Luna were twins, born 30 Sep 1870, Marshall Co., Tenm., the 9th and 10th children of Peter Luna (4th) and Margaret A. Neill. Ella md. 10 Mar 1887, Marshall Co., Tenn., to Rufus A. Murdock. They had eight children. Ella died 23 Dec. 1957, Naples, Morris Co., Texas, and was buried in Sand Hill Cem., Simms, Bowie Co., Texas.
Etta Luna (not to be confused with the Etta Luna who md Andrew Gregg; she is a distant cousin to your Etta), probably died abt 1898, after giving birth to three children. She md. 15 apr. 1888, Marshall Co., Tenn., to Julius Edward Nix, b. 1 June 1871, Tenn., d. 22 Jan. 1961, Kaufman Co., Texas. His parentage is unknown to me. He md. (2) 13 Aug. 1899, Hunt Co., Texas, to Araminta Rambo. I was unaware of the 2 sons you listed for them. I know they had a daughter, Mrs. Irene (Nix) Bloodworth, b.3 June 1901, probably Hunt Co., Texas, and d. 3 Jan. 1970, Dallas, Texas, bur, Honey Grove, Texas.
I am Les Waltman of Enterprise, Alabama, a Luna researcher since 1959. My great great great grandmother was Elizabeth Ann Luna, 1828-1902, a niece of the previously mentioned Peter Luna and therefore an older first cousin to Ella and Etta.

Les, Thank you so much for an uodate on Etta Luna Nix! I have been looking for information on them for many years. My grandmother, Myrtle Nix Johnson Ray named a daughter (by George Washington Johnson, her first husband) after her evidently because I had an aunt by the name Irene. She passed 3 Mar 1997. Thanks again!!! Cynthia Ray Langseth
