Searching for parentage of Jeffrey Nixon, born ca. 1688/89 likely near Carlisle, Cumberland, m. 1728 (2) Ann Barnfather, died 1780, Powcady, Walton, Cumberland.
Jeffrey may have had brother Timothy, who was christened in 1691 in Carlisle; this Timothy's father was Joseph Nixon.
Also searching for parentage of Jane Routledge who married in 1713, George Potts, Haltwhistle, Northumberland.
Any help greatly appreciated

Hi Todd,
My name is Jim Potts and my DNA is close to a fellow genealogist named David Potts. Looks like we might connect in Haltwhistle. The farthest I can trace is William in Acomb. David has Nixon and Cumbria in his genealogy. Our DNA is closely matched.
Can you shed some light.
Jim
