claim:alvin-mixon:name:1nameA.Z. “Alvin” Mixon

Handwritten family notes identify “A.Z. ‘Alvin’” as William Bennie's brother; the compiled counterpart is “Alva Z. Mixon” (9 Aug 1890 – 10 Jul 1974), whose memorial links the same parents and siblings — the initials match exactly and the given name differs. Reconstructed: the compiled form is the Find a Grave memorial's, the recorded value stays the handwritten notes' until a record spells it, and no record has been opened (question:william-bennie-mixon:parents-and-children).

Conflicts and open questions

  • Question question:william-bennie-mixon:parents-and-children (open)

    Who were William Bennie Mixon's parents (two compiled sources pair him with J.T. Mixon and Mary Pauline Travis, whose given name is “Mary Parlee” in the family notes and “Mary P” in the marriage index; a handwritten note names his mother as Ann Brabham, née Hurst), were Alvin, Millard and Eda his siblings — their compiled counterparts are Alva Z. (1890–1974), Millard John (1892–1964) and Etta Selena (1880–1957) — and is Tynes Emery Mixon Sr. his and Myrtis Blanche Brabham's son?

    Next: Read the 1900 Amite County census images, which MSGenWeb publishes complete but unindexed, for the Beat around the Mixon Cemetery (about 31.13 N, 90.57 W): a household of J.T. Mixon holding a son “William B., Dec 1884” with Etta, Alva and Millard would settle the parent link and the sibling list as enumerated, and would show whether any “Ann” lived there. Then the 1910 household of William B. with a son Tynes, and the Mississippi death certificates of Myrtis (1949) and William Bennie (1962), each of which names the decedent's parents (request only). On the Ann Hurst note, two negatives of 2026-10-08 hold: no Hurst and no Brabham grave in the 80-row cemetery list, and no Brabham–Hurst marriage in either direction in the Amite index. The one observation worth testing is that Myrtis's own sister Louella E. Brabham (1881–1981) married a Hurst, which may be the origin of a garbled “Ann Brabham, née Hurst”; it is a possibility to test against the census, never a claim, and no person is created to fit the note.
