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.

This bible is thought to be presently in the possession of
Red Hovas, Greenville, Washington Co., Mississippi.
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
