Also, the identify of EH Nix has been solved with the wonderful help of another genealogy researcher working in the same area.

I also like your idea of looking into Richard & Martha as children 4 & 5 have those names. Thanks!

You have Benjamin in the 1850 census. He doesn't appear to be in the 1860. Have you searched for probate papers in Hamilton County, Tenn. for him? I would start there. With any luck there's a will or at least administration papers. I might track the Martha and Richard Underwood in the 1850 census forward as well. <br /><br />Could E.H. Nix be the Edward H. Nix in the 1900 census in Cass County Illinois, just two counties over from Macoupin? He is still living with his parents who are John J. Nix b. 1847 and Ellen F. b. 1848. If family members they would be nephew/nieces of your Susannah.<br /><br />There's a reason why the 1750-1850 time period is called "the lost century." It's the worst time period to find good records. <br /><br />Good luck.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205797878738290997noreply@blogger.com
