ERNIE NIXON HERRON.
George W. Nixon, father of Mrs. Herron, was born on a farm in Roane
county and was there reared, making his home for many years in that
county but afterward moving to Chattanooga. He aided in building the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad and for a time was on a steamboat operating
between Rockwood and Decatur, Alabama. He likewise devoted a portion of
his attention, during an active life, to the mining of coal and iron ore
and to the manufacture of mining drills. He married Elizabeth Magena
Knox, a daughter of William and Tennessee (Smith) Knox, who resided at
Charleston, this state. In the Knox line Mrs. Herron traces her ancestry
back to John Knox, her great-great-great-grandfather, who emigrated to
this country from Scotland and first settled in Pennsylvania, whence he
afterward removed to South Carolina. His son, Samuel Knox, was a soldier
of the Revolution and after the war built Knox's fort in the state of
Georgia, for protection against the Indians. He was the father of James
Luckie Knox, who resided on the Hiwassee river in Bradley county,
Tennessee. His son, William Knox, the grandfather of Mrs. Herron, also
made his home there and in that locality married Tennessee Smith,
daughter of Major William Smith, who was a major of the Confederate
army. It will thus be seen that the ancestors of Mrs. Herron were
represented in every important war in which the country has been engaged
and her husband is a veteran of the World war.
