"I can see that what you are doing
in putting the puzzle together is
exciting and intriguing. Perhaps
all of us would do a better job of
recording whence and whither, if
we knew we might some day be placed
before the public, beyond our own
circle of co-workers or neighbors."

PREFACE
On September 26, 1952 Mrs. Florence B. Sterner, of Menges Mills, Pa.
wrote to the compiler of this record asking for assistance in determining
the forebears of Senator Richard Nixon. She was a friend and former
neighbor of Senator Nixon's mother. She wrote at the suggestion of Miss
Jessica C. Ferguson, Genealogist at the Pennsylvania State Library.
Senator Nixon knew that his great-grandfather Nixon had been killed at
the battle of Gettysburg in 1863 and that his grandfather had been born
somewhere west of Pittsburgh, Pa.
A search of Washington County (Pa.) court records showed three George
Nixons. Census data and pension data showed their birth dates to be 1752,
1784 and 1821. George Nixon I purchased a farm at Washington, Pa. in 1803.
His son, Seeds Nixon, was one of the connecting links. Delaware records
showed a marriage in 1775 of George Nixon and Sarah Seeds. Ohio records
showed a Revolutionary veteran, named George Nixon, who had a son, Seeds.
Washington County deed records indicated that George I and Seeds lived
on the same farm. The pension record of George Nixon I (S8919) coupled
with will and deed records of New Castle County, Del. proved that George I
was a son of James, that he went to Penna. in 1803 and Ohio in 1830.
Further research showed that George Nixon I went to Henry County, Illinois
in 1842 and died soon after arrival. The DAR marked his grave in 1925.
The grandson, George Nixon III, was born in Pa., went to Ohio in 1853
and died at Gettysburg in 1863 a few days after the battle.
Research turned next to the Trimmer family of Washington County, for
the Pension record of George Nixon III's widow showed her maiden name to
be Trimmer. By a roundabout way involving amateur radio a copy was ob-
tained of the manuscript on the Trimmer Genealogy written in 1904 by David
Trimmer of McArthur, Ohio. Correspondence with the parents of Richard Mil-
hous Nixon showed that on the maternal side his Milhous, Griffith and
Burdg ancestors had lived near Washington, Pa. This led eventually to
the tracing of all lines and the publication of this record.
The compiler of these notes found the Nixons listed in the early 1800's
as members on the rolls of the First United Methodist Church (Washington),
for which he is records custodian. A sampler which had puzzled Miss Flo-
rence Eisele, of Natchez, Miss. for many years turned out to bear the
names of members of the family of George Nixon II. It was found that the
parents of both the Nixon and the Milhous grandfathers were married in
Washington County: George Nixon - Margaret A. Trimmer 1843 in a Mathodist
ceremony; Joshua V. Milhous - Elizabeth P. Griffith 1847 in a Quaker one.
Research was greatly facilitated by the excellent Quaker records in Hin-
shaw's volumes and at Swarthmore College. All of the maternal lines and
one-third of the paternal lines were found to be Quaker.
To search out a line such as Moore required years of digging, with the
search ending in a printed genealogy. Many families have been written up
in county histories. Family, church, court, census and pension records
were searched. These families were found to have published genealogies:
Almy, Brinton, Burdg, Cattell, Clemson, Cornell, Dickinson,
Doane, Ellison, Gaskill, Griffith, Haven, Hemingway, Howland,
Hussey, Inskeep, Lippincott, Maris, Mendenhall, Milhous, Moore,
Morris, Morse, Peirce, Perkins, Potts, Price, Scothorn, Shattuck,
Shinn, Smith, Stearns, Trimmer, Twining, Washburn

NOTE ON THE CALENDAR
In records before 1752, especially those of Quakers, the tenth month
was December and the new year began March 25. In 1752 the new year was
changed to begin January 1 and 11 days were added to all dates to bring
them in line with the seasons. For example, George Washington was born
12m 11-1731 by a Quaker calendar, Feb 11-1731/32 by his calendar, Feb 22-
1732 by our calendar. Some dates in this book may be based on one system,
some on the other. 10m 31-1731 = Dec 31-1731; 11m 1-1731/32 = Jan 1-1732;
1m 24-1741/41 was followed by 1m 25-1742 = Mar 25-1742. This does not
take into account the eleven days added in Sep 1752. That month had 19 dys.

INTRODUCTION
When a man becomes President of the United States, there is interest
in his ancestry. President Nixon was born in California. His father was
born in Ohio; his mother in Indiana. His parents, two of his grandparents
and two of his great-grandparents died in California. All of his grand-
parents, all of his great-grandparents and 13 of his 16 great-great-
grandparents lived at one time in Ohio. The sixteen were born in:
Penna 6; Md 4; N J 3; Del 2; Ohio 1
The states of residence at time of death were:
Ohio 7: Iowa 3; Ind 2; Penna 1; Mo 1; Md 1.
There are a number of unusual facts about the Nixon ancestors:
(1) they all lived in a narrow band between Baltimore, Md and Boston, Mass;
(there was considerable movement within this band)
(2) on the average they landed in America about 1680; there is no
record of any landing after 1775;
(3) about two-thirds were Quakers, on both sides of the family;
(4) many of the families are well-known and have published histories;
(5) a conservative estimate is that over two million Americans are
"cousins" of President Nixon, if one goes out to fifth cousins;
(6) except for the Trimmers, all the lines go back to the British Isles,
mainly England, with a few from Scotland and Wales, and several
families stopping in Ireland on the way to America;
(7) on the maternal side there is considerable longevity; for five
generations the average age at death was about eighty years.
Richard Milhous Nixon had eight great-grandparents, two of whom died
after he was born. The eight branches are:
NIXON - the earliest record is in 1731, when James Nixon bought a farm in
Brandywine Hundred, New Castle Co, Del. He may have come from Ireland.
His descendants migrated to Penna, Ohio and California. Miss Jessica C
Ferguson and Dr Ralph H Lane assisted the compiler in this branch.
TRIMMER - John Trimmer, of German origin, is listed in Hunterdon Co, N J
in 1739. This family also lived in Morris Co, N J, and Juniata, Snyder
and Washington Cos in Pa, where a Trimmer married a Nixon. David Trimmer's
manuscript Genealogy was very valuable.
WADSWORTH - the name of Thomas Wadsworth appears in Harford Co, Md in
1741, when he was married. The family moved to Ohio, where a Wadsworth
married a Nixon. Help was supplied by Miss Rebecca Wadsworth, Robert
Barnes and Mrs Florence Main.
MOORE - James Moore migrated from Ballymoney, Co Antrim in Ireland to
Lancaster Co, Pa before 1759. His father, also James, was married in
Ireland in 1714. The family moved west to Centre Co and Allegheny Co in
Pa and then to Ohio, where a Moore married a Wadsworth. The main source is
The Ancestors and Descendants of Andrew Moore by J A M Passmore, Phila,
1897. Assistance was provided by Mrs Ruth M Smith with the Lillian
Rowell charts, Warren W Nixon, Margaret S Ward, Mrs Florence Main.
MILHOUS - Thomas Milhous, born 1699, went from Timahoe, Co Kildare, Ireland
to Chester Co, Pa in 1729. He lived nine miles west of James Nixon. (Did
they ever meet?) Thomas' grandfather, also, Thomas, was in Co Antrim,
Ireland in 1669. From Chester Co the family moved to Ohio, Ind and Cal.
Mrs Martha Gibbons provided a copy of the Milhous history by William Mil-
hous. Family records from the Milhous Bibles, used in the i969 inaugu-
ration, were supplied by the Library of Congress. In 1971 Dorothy Z Mil-
hous and Hazel A Stewart published The Descendants of William Milhous Jr
and Martha Vickers.
6
GRIFFITH - William Griffith went from Wales to New Castle Co, Del about
1700. His family moved to York Co and Washington Co in Pa where a
Griffith - Milhous marriage occurred. James Griffith 1808-1892, of York
Co wrote a history of his family. Mrs Florence Sterner provided a copy
of the original in the York County Historical Society.
BURDG - the Burdg family is found at Great Neck, Long Island, N Y in the
1670's. From here they went to Monmouth Co, N J; Fayette Co, Pa; and
Ohio, where a Milhous married a Burdg. The main source is Burdg and
Allied Families by Howard G Burdg, Conway, N H 1950.
HEMINGWAY - the Hemingways appear in Roxbury, Mass about 1634. They
moved to Burlington Co, N J and then Ohio, where a Hemingway married
a Burdg. The chief source is Ralph Hemmenway and His Descendants by
C A H Newton, Napierville, Ill 1932 and 1943.
Into the above eight branches married eight more:
WILSON - New Castle Co, Del
HUNT - Washington Co, Pa (This line has yet to be traced.)
LYTLE - Baltimore Co, Md, (Data supplied by Robert Barnes.)
BROWN - Ireland; Frederick Co, Va; Hampshire Co, W Va
(Data supplied by Mrs Florence Main.)
VICKERS - Monmouth Co, N J; Bucks and Chester Cos, Pa
PRICE - Ann Arundel Co, Md (Data supplied by A Russell Slagle.)
MATTHEWS - New Castle Co, Del; Baltimore Co, Md
MALMSBURY - Burlington Co, N J (Help given by John W Haines and
Mrs Edna Jordan.)
Of the Nixon forebears, 19 lived in Washington Co, Pa; 9 in the adjoining
counties of Allegheny, Greene and Fayette. About 30 lines trace back to the
Boston region, about 30 to the Philadelphia region and 12 to Baltimore.
Three other regions are of importance: northern Delaware, southern New
Jersey and the region around New York City (Long Island and Monmouth Co, NJ).

George was twelve when he moved to Smith Twp, Washington Co. He was
married by Rev Thomas M Hudson, Methodist presiding elder, at the home of
his sister, Eleanor Scothorn, in South Strabane Twp. He lived in Smith
Twp, likely at Atlasburg, until he and his family moved to Elk Twp, Vin-
ton Co, Ohio in 1853. His father had gone to Vinton County in 1844.
On Nov 9-1861 George enlisted in the Union Army. The records at Wash-
ington list him as "age 40, farmer, 5½ feet, brown eyes, light complexion
and hair". He was mustered into service at Waverly, Pike Co, Ohio as a
private in Company B, 73rd Regiment of Ohio Infantry. They left camp near
Chillicothe Jan 24-1862. The regiment was in West Virginia until April
when it went to McDowell, Va. It was in the battle of Cross Keys June 8
and Manassas Aug 28. The winter camp was at Aquia Creek, Va. The regiment
was at Chancellorsville in the spring, but did not get into fighting.
It reached Gettysburg, Pa at 2 pm Jul 1-1863 and went into position near
what is now the National Cemetery. On July 2 there was sharpshooting and
George was wounded. He died in a nearby hospital July 14. His grave is
close to the spot where Abraham Lincoln gave his famous dedicatory ad-
dress a few months later. The marker reads:
GEORGE NIXON CO. B REGT. 73
Ninety years later on Jul 5-1953 his great-grandson, Richard Nixon,
visited the grave and placed flowers on it. The widow survived for twenty
months. At her death Mar 18-1865 she left eight children, ages 21 to 5.
See her widow's pension record in the National Archives (WC 84443).

William was a blacksmith and wagon-maker who moved from Delaware to
Washington about 1800. George and Hannah are listed on the membership
rolls of First United Methodist Church in Washington. They belonged
from about the time of their marriage until Hannah's death. Hannah
was a member of the women's class that met in town on Friday afternoon.
George belonged to the country class that met Sunday after church.
In 1833 George moved to Smith Twp, Washington Co; in 1844 to Richland
Twp, Vinton Co, Ohio. In 1860 he was living with his grandson, George

George b 1752 Brandywine Hundred, New Castle Co, Del;
d Aug 5-1842 Colona Twp, Henry Co, Ill; m1 Aug 17-1775
Holy Trinity Church, Wilmington, Del Sarah; m2 Martha
The first record of George is in his father's will, when he was given
a farm. His pension record (S8919) tells of his service in the Revolution.
He was an ensign Dec 10-1776 to Mar 15-1777, serving under Washington at
Trenton and Princeton. Of this service he related:
(He) recrossed the (Delaware) River with him (Washington)
and was stationed with him at said Trenton on the memorable
2d of January 1777
This deponent is old and frail but
well recollects the whole scene
This deponent bore his
share to the best of his skill and understanding as Ensign
and has now in his possession the very sword and spontoon
by him carried on that occasion.
He was an ensign again Aug 25-1777 to Oct 10-1777 and was in the battle
of Brandywine, four miles from his home. From Oct 15-1777 to Jul 15-1778
he was a lieutenant, scouting against the British at Philadelphia.
On Apr 2-1803 he sold his farm in Delaware and on May 6-1803 he bought
one at the southern edge of Washington, Pa. In 1830 he moved west again,
selling the last of his Penna farm May 6-1830 and buying one in what is
now Washington Twp, Clinton Co, Ohio on Jun 15-1830. His sons, Seeds and
Francis moved with him. The Ohio farm was sold May 2-1840 and about Mar
10-1842 he migrated again, leaving Ohio with his son, Francis for Illinois.
On Mar 11-1842 he picked up his last pension payment in Cincinnati. He did
not live long after he arrived in Illinois, for he died Aug 5-1842 on the
banks of the Rock River in a house rented from Anthony Hunt.
George was buried in Glennwood Cemetery on an adjoining farm. On Oct
18-1925 a large marker was unveiled by the DAR chapters of the region. On
that day no one thought that a 12-year old descendant living in California
would one day become President of the United States.

(64) JAMES NIXON & (65) MARY
The earliest record of James Nixon is on Apr 3-1731 when he bought
a farm in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle Co, Del, about 3 miles north
of Wilmington. He may have been of Irish origin, for from 1727 to
1729 several thousand persons from the north of Ireland landed at
nearby New Castle. In his will James tells of money in the hands of
the Principal of a Presbyterian Academy. In 1734 James bought a nearby
tract of land. In 1731 he is listed as a cooper, in 1772 as a farmer.
His wife, Mary, and children are named in his will written May 16-
1773 and probated Jun 26-1775. His sons, George and James, each received
a farm; his daughters money. His will mentions a negro man Ned and a
negro woman Nance. George sold his farm in 1803 and moved to Penna. The
widow of James sold his farm in 1821. Just nine miles west of the Nixon
farms lived (96) Thomas Milhous, who settled there in 1730.
