Notes about William Granger Nix

Son of John & Sara Nix & Husband of Susannah Stonecypher.Nix..

Below from Ethelene Dyer Jones used with permission.

Oh! But I must tell you about a wonderful visit I had on April 15, 2014 from descendants of William and Susannah Stonecypher Nix. Sisters, Leta Mavis Nix Brown (from Eaton, CO) and Marcelyn May Nix Brown (from Cheyenne, WY), daughters of Thomas Jarrett Nix (1872-1951) and Nancy Carolina Davis Nix (1875-1952). Thomas Jarrett Nix’s parents were Benjamin Stonecypher Nix and Harriett Indiana Swain. And Benjamin’s parents were Jimmy Nix and Elizabeth “Betsy” Collins Nix. Betsy Collins was a daughter of my great, great grandparents on my mother’s side: Thompson and Celia Self Collins. Two of the Thompson Collins children married two of the William and Susannah Stonecypher Nix children: Jimmy married Elizabeth known as Betsy and Rutha Nix married my great grandfather, Francis (called Frank) Collins. So Leta Mavis and Marcelyn May Nix (each of whom married Browns—but not brothers; cousins, I think, in Colorado). Several of the Nix descendants went to Colorado around the 1890’s and settled there. Mavis and Marcelyn are descendants of these Nix-Collins forebears.

(some parts removed for privacy)... and we talked much about the Nix connections and how we are “double-cousins” several generations forward from our ancestors. I’m sure they would have taken the time to look up the Nix Cemetery in Cleveland had I been thinking to tell them about it! They did go to Eastanollee in Stephens County near Toccoa, GA to see the still-standing plantation home built by Susannah’s father, John Henry Stonecypher, Jr., one of our Revolutionary War patriots, and to visit the marked graves of John Henry and his wife, and some of their children, at the family cemetery near the plantation home. In July, 1994, some of us descendants of the Stonecyphers put up a permanent memorial marker there, had quite a turn-out for a ceremony, and I wrote a poem commemorating the event—and also spoke on some of the family history of the Stonecypher connections.

Well—just a bit more about why I am so interested in my Nix connections.
