He arrived in Jamestown, Virginia from England in 1650 with a group of English immigrants led by Capt. Moore Fauntleroy (In the early days of the Virginia Colony a grant of 50 acres was allowed for each person transported, and this was called a "headright". It is a on record that Col. Moore Fauntleroy transported 179 persons. Their names are listed in his patents, many of them were people of prominence. Most of the patents are signed by Sir William Berkeley, who was then the Royal Governor of Virginia. Col. Fauntleroy was an owner or part owner of ships). The name was simply spelled how it was pronounced in the very early colonial days which would indicate a distinct origin back to northern England. According to several sources, the ship departed England shortly after Oliver Cromwell's seize of power in England as all those who supported King Charles I of England fled to the Virginia colonies. They settled on the north side of the Rappahannock River.

Biography

 

Graveside services for Gerald L. Mixon, 79, of Temple will be held at 10:00 A.M. Monday July 7, 2008 at Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen with U.S. Navy Honors. Mr. Mixon died June 28, 2008 at the Veterans Administration Hospice Center in Temple, Texas. Death resulted from complications brought on by a stroke two years previously. Survivors include two brothers Exley C. Mixon Jr. of Georgetown and Shirley R. Mixon of Marietta, Ga. and one sister Glenda Cason of St. Simons, Ga., and his three adopted children, Pamela, David and Charley Mixon.

Mr. Mixon was born in Chattahoochee, Florida to Exley C. Mixon Sr. and Atlas Lynette Lightsey Mixon. Gerald grew up on a farm near Waycross, worked in ship construction during World War II, then completed high School, then joined the Navy, serving on the US Frank Knox destroyer in the Japan/China far east area. After military service he attended Auburn University in Ga, (playing football), then moved to California where he worked in the electronics industry. After working for NASA he excelled as an engineer at Varian Associates in the area of high voltage pulsed energy, (radiation), machines. His department manufactured and serviced the radiation, X-ray, cancer treatment and other machines used by Hospitals throughout the US and other countries e.g. Japan and Australia. Eventually Gerald formed his own company, SHM, to do the same kind of work. He was known as one who had great stamina, drive and could get things done. His advice and expertise was sought by physicians in the Health field and others in like businesses. He was also involved with real estate, a large transformer company and a company rebuilding large transmitting tubes. He moved to Temple about two years ago. On a personal level with family members, friends and one in need, Gerald displayed a "heart of gold". He helped many people in many ways including money. It is sad that his last years were so unrewarding. He deserved much more. Gerald had no children of his own, but was married to Eve Shaw, 1964 -1973, where he legally adopted her three children, Pamela, David & Charley. .

 USS Frank Knox (DD-742)

1950s Gerald Lemuel Mixon US Navy FC3  US Navy Fire Control Seaman

 

USS Frank Knox (DD-742) was a Gearing-class destroyer in the U. S. Navy during WWII. She was named after Secretary of the Navy, Frank Knox. The Frank Knox was built at Bath, Maine. Commissioned in December 1944, she arrived in the western Pacific war zone in mid-June 1945, in time to participate in the final carrier air raids on the Japanese home islands as part of Task Force 38. During the Battle of Okinawa she acted as a picket destroyer giving early warnings of incoming air raids. She was present in Tokyo Bay when Japan formally surrendered on 2 September 1945 and remained in the Far East until early February 1946. The ship made additional deployments to the region during the later 1940s and was reclassified as a radar picket destroyer (DDR) in March 1949.

Automatic frequency control system for driving a linear accelerator 3965434. June 22, 1976  An automatic frequency control system is described for maintaining the drive frequency applied to a linear accelerator to produce maximum particle output from the accelerator. The particle output amplitude is measured and the frequency of the radio frequency source powering the linear accelerator is adjusted to maximize particle output amplitude.

As of 03/10/76 SHM Nuclear Corporation was acquaired by EMI Ltd. of England: EMI Medical Limited, Windsor House, Slough, Bucks, England. Since EMI wished to use the scanner as a means to become a major force in medical electronics, Powell argued that some bold external moves were needed to protect the company’s leadership position. In March 1976, EMI acquired for $2 million (£1.1 million) SHM Nuclear Corporation, a California-based company that had developed linear accelerators for cancer therapy and computerized radiotherapy planning systems. Although the SHM product line needed substantial further development, the hope was that linking such systems to the CT scanner would permit a synchronized location and treatment of cancer.
