Nixon, George H., colonel of militia, distinguished in the Creek war (q. v.) "was born in Virginia, and, living some years in the South Carolina, removed thence in 1809 to the Mississippi territory." He was lieutenant-colonel commanding the militia of his county, before the Creek war, when he was selected by Governor Holmes, in October, 1813, to command a battalion organized for duty in the field. It is said of him in Pickett's history of Alabama: "During the Creek war, Colonel Nixon, at the head of a considerable force, scoured the swamps of the Perdido and other streams, and frequently killed and captured Indians. After he had accomplished all he could, he marched to the head of the Perdido, where he divided his command, sending Maj. William Peacock, with the troops of the 39th, (Col. John Williams' regiment) to the Boatyard, on Lake Tensaw, while he marched the remainder of his command to Fort Claiborne. He was an excellent officer and served in the war until its conclusion. [He was a member of the first state legislature in 1817, and was appointed colonel of the Seventh regiment, (Marian and Hancock) in the same year.] He died in Pearlington, Miss., in 1824. He was a large and fine-looking man, with fair complexion, and was very popular." (Encyclopedia of Mississippi History by Dunbar Rowland, LL. D., Vol II, 1907)
