Joe, I don't have any legends on Catherine Nixon. I did hear that she was part Indian, Witcha Caddo or Cherokee, but not sure. Also in the Roten Family story, I have, edition March 2000. It mention that John wade Roten was an attorney, born to a wealthy family who disowned him when he married Catherine Nixon who was the head grooms man's daughter and was half Cherokee Indian. He and Catherine left N.C. the same year they were married and they headed to Tx. On the way william was born in 1854 in Ten. It said John was a lawyer by trade and practiced law in Tx until his death 19 Dec. 1862, Austin, TX. buried in New Hope Cemetery, Autin Tx. Than Catherine married Hiram Dennis McKelvie who was a Tx Ranger.
I have the connection from John and Catherine to my Children but do not have any information on who John W Roten or Catherine Nixon parents are. I'm still searching. My [email protected]
