WEAVER And Lizzie Strickland were United in holy Matrimony the 20 day July in the year of 1913 Additional Comments: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note written by Mrs. Bowen in June 2000: Dear Valerie, Just found your message. What a wonderful surprise. My Grandfather, Samuel Leonard Nixon (WEAVER) was the son of Mary Susan by Francis Nixon's 2nd spouse, Annie Grantham. Mary Susan died when my Grandfather was born and Annie raised him. He went by Nixon and not WEAVER, who Mary Susan married. That makes for a confusing mess if too much time passes and no one knows the story.
