Robert Nixon (late 18th century)
This Robert Nixon is the earliest member of the Nixon family I have identified.
He was probably born about 1780 but that's just a guess based on his marriage in 1799.
I have little information about him, apart from his marriage and mentions at his children's baptisms.
