I have ancestors from autauga county who are on the 1880 census named Stoudemire as neighbors to the Mixon family do you have and connection with this family?as
Thank you for your question Dee. I would have to look a little further into this. There are Mixons' all over Autauga Co., AL. My Mixons were Alec/Alex/Alic and Ellen Mixon, their children and grandchildren. Ellen Mixon-Lanier was listed in the household of her grandparents Alec and Ellen in 1880. I'm not sure If I have a connection with yout Stoudemire's or any other Mixon's in Autauga Co. You can contact me at familygriot@yahoo.com anytime to further discuss this issue.
Regards,
Family Griot
