I have e-mailed Tommy S. Nixon before.I have been seeking info on my lineage.My 5th grandfather Henry NIXON was born in 1770 in VA.An Art Nixon from VA informed me that he is of the Henry NIXON(7h)/Sarah SANDERSON line from VA.This line is from William(8th) and Clementine NIXON from England.William's son Henry (7th) was born around 1703 and came to America around 1725.Henry (7th) had three sons William, Henry(6th) and John.He also had three daughters.Henry's(7th) son Henry(6th) was killed in the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Kings Mountain, NC/SC in 1776 fighting the Tories.This is the Henry(6th) that I need info about.I believe that he is my 6th grandfather back.I can trace back to my 5th grandfather back, also a Henry NIXON (this is the one born in 1770/VA and married Rebecca BELL from Wayne Co., NC).Can anyone provide me with data/documentation, or anything about the Henry that was killed in the war?.Henry(5th) could have been Henry(6th) son, because he was born 6 years before Henry(6th) was killed and they lived in the same general area.I find it unusual that I cannot find info on the past of one and the future of the other when all of this occurred in the same time frame.
