Thomas Hix was married to Melvina Rose, daughter of John and Nancy Kirkpatrick Rose, in Jackson County, Tennessee about 1840. DNA matches of Thomas' descendants, as well as proximity and family lore indicate that Thomas' parents were Thomas J Hix and Mary Stepp. Thomas and Melvina Rose eventually had four children:
Oliver G Hix 1843-1898
Nancy Elizabeth Hix 1844-1934 (m. Davis)
Adelia Hix 1847 (m. Stover)
Bertha D Hix 1849 (m. Gibbons)
Thomas' grave is marked. It is thought that his wife, Melvina, is buried in one of the six unmarked fieldstone graves which are next to his.
(The surname on Thomas Hix's headstone reads, "Hicks." The preferred family spelling of the name, however, is "Hix.")
