80. A little trivia about Richard Nixon's Great-Grandfather George Nixon (1821-July 14 1863) who was a

member of Company B of the 73rd Ohio Infantry Regiment 11th Corp. He was mortally wounded on July 2 1863 near Cemetery Ridge in The Battle of Gettysburg. He died of his wounds on July 14 and is buried at the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Another odd coincidence is that George Nixon's father also named George Nixon (1784-1863) died on July 3rd on the final day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Possibly only a matter of several hours after his son was wounded on July 2 and would eventually die from his wounds 12 days later. I'm sure the dad didn't know his son was wounded the day before and doubt if the son, being severly wounded, knew his father had recently died.
