good grief - Robert Thomas Nixon provided a college education for all of his children, he sold land when he needed the tuition, still owned over 14,000 acres of land when he died. He was a son of a Quaker, hard-working, family-oriented, Christian man. I feel lazy compared to what they accomplished over their lifetime. To think I thought I had my hands full with just three children, educating them, etc. We can appreciate and learn something from researching our lineage.
