===================================
NOTE: His father's name is William WALKER Nixon, not William Ward Nixon. William Ward Nixon was a half-brother to Walter. There's been some extremely bad/incorrect genealogy done on the Nixon family. Walter's mother was Mary Ann (Sullivan) Beedle, widow of Mahlon Beedle, not Mary Ann Silvers. Mary Ann Silvers disappeared while William was off fighting in the Civil War. He married the widowed Mary Ann "Maria" Beedle upon his return from the Civil War. She's the one buried in Potomac, not Mary Ann Silvers. Also, her death certificate says she died from an abortion but to clarify, at that time abortion was the term used for a miscarriage and not abortion as it's known today.
