 Wixson Family Bible

This old family Bible has an inside jacket with a great deal of birth, marriage and death information on my maternal family who were in Warren County by the early 1840s. They were still there into the 1870s and maybe later before moving up to the Cary (Sharkey County) area. They intermarried with other Warren County families, and I am sure there must still be descendants in the area today.

The Elbert Marmaduke (Duke) Wixson was my great-grandfather. I never knew him, as he died 30 years before I was born, but I knew his wife very well, she dying in 1959 (I was 16). Hope this may help somebody one day.

Best regards,
Duke Wixson Jones
