Dear List Members:
I'm looking for information and the location of a photo collection of Charles
R. Hixon. a mechanical engineering professor who made the photos in the
1930's of former slaves from area plantations during the WPA interviews. Hixon
collection was exhibited a few times and may be at Auburn University or some other
location. I believe he was employed at AU and was related to the
Graham/Hixon/Rumph families in the area and other staff members at AU.
Thanks for you time.

Greetings : Before going to Macon Co., AL in a couple of weeks,
I suggest that you check out the 1860 Macon Co., AL Slave Index.
This will give you a list of those who owned slaves in this county
prior to the Civil War. It is a good starting point. You might also
wish to check with Doll Hargrove. She has a lot of info on slave
info in Macon and other counties in AL. Her e-mail address is :

We are seeking information on the HAWS family, formerly of the Auburn area.
Some members moved to TX. abt. 1870 -' 80, while others remained in AL. The
family changed the spelling to HAUSE. They have been found in census records
as HAWES, HAUGH, HOUSE, etc. Any help or advice about this family would be
greatly appreciated by many descendants in these parts. Thank you.

American mixed ancestry. The film had a couple of resources I jotted down to check

mixed ancestry).
