claim:eda-mixon-wilson:name:1nameEda Mixon Wilson

Handwritten family notes identify Eda as William Bennie's sister, Willie J. Wilson's wife and Jimmy Wilson's mother; the compiled counterpart is “Etta Selena Mixon Wilson” (15 Dec 1880 – 6 Jan 1957), whose memorial links the same parents, the same husband and the same eldest son. Whether “Eda” is a nickname or a mis-reading of “Etta” is unresolved. 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).

Deceased: her compiled counterpart's memorial gives a death in 1957 (tier 3). No record has been opened and no death event is entered.

claim:eda-mixon-wilson:parent-of:1parent-ofparent-of Jimmy Wilson

Documented tier-3 compiled chain: Etta Selena Mixon Wilson's memorial — the compiled counterpart of the notes' Eda Mixon Wilson — links her spouse as William Joshua “Willie” Wilson Sr (1878–1971) and her eldest child as Jimmy Princeton “DiDo” Wilson (1900–1985), the same three people the handwritten notes record. Reconstructed, not supported: the links are a contributor's and no record was opened.

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.
