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.

Was Tynes Emery Mixon Sr. (born 11 February 1906) born in Louisiana, as the 1950 census schedule and the Mixsonian compilation say, or in Amite County, Mississippi, as his Find a Grave memorial says? No place is entered on his birth event either way.

- Run the Louisiana Secretary of State vital-records index (births more than 100 years old, so 1906 qualifies) interactively for Mixon, Tynes, 1906; the application rejects automated submissions. A Louisiana entry naming William B. Mixon and Myrtis Brabham as parents would also answer his parentage at record grade. Failing that, the 1910 Amite County census household of William B. Mixon, whose images are online but unindexed. Mississippi had no 1906 birth registration, so a miss in Louisiana does not prove a Mississippi birth; until one of these is read the birthplace is not narrated at all.

How do John Edwin Mixon's sibling group (children of Millard F. Mixon and Milberry Elizabeth Cook), the Foster/Carruth family in the Mixon Cemetery, and William Hilton Mixon connect to William Bennie Mixon's direct line?
- Status

- The one new observation of 2026-10-08 is a generation, not a link: Millard Fillmore Mixon (1857–1914), whom the compiled sources give as John Edwin's father, and James T. Mixon (1859–1937) are of one generation and share one family cemetery with their families. The 1860 and 1870 Amite County census images at MSGenWeb would show whether they were brothers, which would make John Edwin's group William Bennie's first cousins — a lead, not a claim, until a record states the relationship. Also compare the parents named in the FamilySearch record for John Edwin Mixon with J.T. Mixon's and William Bennie's households in the 1880 and 1900 Amite County census; for William Hilton, find a census household listing him with Tynes Sr. and their parents; the Foster/Carruth entries stay an associated network unless a record names a Mixon relationship.

Conflicts touching these claims
Two lifespans were recorded for the same ancestor: 1884–1962 (William Bennie Mixon, corrected workbook) and 1878–1949 (the earlier William Benjamin Mixon identification).
- Resolution
- resolved — The corrected workbook supersedes the earlier identification, the Mixon Cemetery index independently corroborates 1884–1962, and the shared granite marker in the family cemetery — read from the 2006 photograph on his memorial in 2026 — states “DEC. 15, 1884 — MAY 18, 1962” outright with an age line that checks both dates, a third corroboration. The 1878–1949 pair is retained as rejected for the ledger.
