The source
Excerpt
No public excerpt recorded — metadata only.
What this record proves
Accepted claims citing this source at confirmed or supported: a source of this tier is a lead, so a claim here is supported only because tier 1–2 evidence it cites alongside this source states it.
This source proves nothing on its own: no accepted confirmed or supported claim cites it.
What it does not prove
Claims citing this source at reconstructed, conditional or needs-verification, or demoted on review (downgraded): the source is a lead or partial corroboration for these, not proof.

Open questions touching these claims
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?

- 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.
