There is definitely a relationship between these people.I'm just not sure if they are brothers or first cousins.Elisha A. Nix(Nicks) married Martha Matilda Young in KY in 1822.I would assume these were brothers marrying sisters.Also, Elisha had a son named John, and a daughter named Elizabeth.Elisha's father was John Nix of Virginia, and he married Margaret Young of KY.So it gets a little confusing, because it sounds like first cousins must have married each other.Martha Young's parents were Robert and Judith Young.I don't have a brother named John listed for Elisha, but since his fathers name was John, it stands to reason there was a son with that name.I have an Edward born in 1800, Elisha born in 1802, then a Sally with an unknown age.Since John was born in 1804, he would seem to fit the pattern.I'll have to ask my aunt some more about it.Elisha was her great-grandfather, and she remembers her grandmother speaking of him and his family often.
