How cool is this! We're cousins! Gassie was the brother of my grandfather. Gassie's niece, Maud Mixon, married Richard Martin, had two children Sonja and Richard Jr., and they always went back to South Carolina for the Martin family reunion. They live in northeast Georgia; my aunt & uncle's home has always been sort of a "central receiving station" for my mom's siblings & families - they've always been the one to keep everyone in touch. Another of Gassie's nieces is Ethel, who was my mother. My dad was a Marine, so we moved alot, finally settling down in Southern California.

I've just begun tracing family history, and all of this is new to me. How about you? Have you found much info on the Mixons? I've seen the birth certificates for my mom's siblings, and Mixon was sometimes spelled as Mixson. So now I'm thoroughly confused. Do you have any words of advice for me?

Your response to my posting filled in a blank for me as I've been trying to determine Gassie's 2nd wife's surname! Do you have other information about the Mixon family? I'm leaving for SC Tues & returning to GA Fri (Aug 11-14)& plan on researching in Walterboro & Hampton. Do you know of any proof of birthplace for Gassie or his bro Jesse? Also, do you have any pictures of Gassie or Jesse? I have no bio info on any of the Mixon side of the family, and trying to find them in the census records is a trial! If you have more info, or could guide me toward sources of info on the family, I would be very grateful if you would share it with me. Thanks!
