Bartow Madison's father was Michael
Mixon (perhaps James Michael or George Michael
Mixon) and his mother was Drucella Balkam/Balkcomb. Michael and Drucella married in
Jones Co. GA. 15 Dec 1850. Michael's father was also Michael
Mixon (we call him Michael #1); mother was Zelphia (maiden name unknown). They were living in
Twiggs Co. GA by the time of the 1830 federal census. We believe Michael #1's mother was
Sena as we find her on a later
Twiggs census with grandson Michael living in her household. The family is believed to have migrated from SC and/or NC and from Ireland originally.
Twiggs Co. Ga. courthouse has burned twice so
Twiggs records are scarce. Please tell me more about your
Crosby family.
