Note that Mary E used the name Mix and may have known her father's name.
It would be key to get her death certificate to see if it lists her parents.

Notes:

Since the children were born in 1862 and 1866, it's possible that Mix was
serving in the Civil War during the middle years.

Looking for someone named Mixthat would have lived near to the Henderson
household. Elizabeth was living at home in 1860 and 1870 census. When
John Newton Henderson got married, he wrote that he was born in Philadelphia,
though not positive if we would have known that accurately.

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any Mix boys listed in the 1861
and 1862 directories living anywhere nearby. The other issue is that the
father should be around in 1866 also (when I don't have an online city
directory). Maybe it's really a varient name like Meeks, Micks, etc?

Or did Elizabeth just make up "Mix", as in her first kids were a "Mix" of
fathers? Sounds mean, but checking everything.

Mary E Mix used the surname Mix when she was married.
in 1870 census, she's listed as Mix
in 1880 census, she's listed as Johnson (step-father's name)
in 1885 marriage, she's a Mix
in 1900 census, she had father was born in PA
in 1910 census, she had father was born in USA (as if she wasn't sure)
in 1920 census, she had father was born in PA

John N only shows up as a Mix in 1870 census. He seems to have switched
over to Henderson sometime around 1880-1885.

1910 census for John N (ifit's the right one), has father born in PA

1861 directory, Edward Meeks, clerk 22&24 N 4th, h 1700 Locust (near HB below)
(close to Henderson family and the same age as Elizabeth!)

Although he seems like a good candidate to research, the problems are:
- many times there are families that show up Mix and Meeks. Edw. is only Meeks.
- he's still alive in 1870 - would he have ever really been married to Elizabeth?
didthey just separate? divorce?
