Where was the Nix Plantation in Alabama? Master Nix must have been one hell of an athlete himself.
I've never heard of a Nix anywhere around here, but there are bunch of black ones and white ones in Alabama.

You regularly make people wonder what is wrong with you. This is one of those times.

Screw it, I just did what I should've done to start with...
1. The J.M.N. Nix Properties (Coosa & Talladega Counties)
The most well-known figure was Joseph Madison Napoleon Bonaparte Nix (often called "Alphabet Nix"). He was a wealthy industrialist and landowner.
Location: His primary operations and residence were in Wetumpka (Coosa County) and Sylacauga (Talladega County).
Significance: Nix owned extensive marble quarries in the Sycamore area of Talladega County and ran the "Alabama Marble Works." While he was primarily known for marble, he held significant land and enslaved labor to support his industrial and agricultural interests in these central Alabama counties.
2. The Zacheus Nix Holdings (Butler, Pike, & Henry Counties)
If you are searching for a plantation specifically in the context of agricultural history or enslaved person records, Zacheus Nix is the most frequent name in census and slave schedules.
Locations: His holdings moved and expanded over time:
1840: Butler County
1850: Pike County
1860: Woodville, Henry County (near the southeastern border of Alabama).
Significance: Records from 1860 show he held a significant number of people enslaved in Henry County, which would have constituted a plantation-sized operation for that region.

Yes. There was a census in 1860. It is still often used to determine slaves and plantations in the South.

Is that Dave Wommack’s son?

As someone who was grew up in Weogufka and Sylacauga:
Wetumpka is not in Coosa County.
Marble quarries were not in the Sycamore area, but predominantly lie between Sylacauga and Fayetteville.
I suggest your data is worth about what your copy/paste skills are in the AI age.
