Mary Garrett

1837 - 1883  (46 years)

• Name	Mary Garrett  [1, 2, 3]
  Born	6 Dec 1837	San Augustine County, Texas   [1, 2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Died	23 Dec 1883  [4]
  Notes	Along with her cousins, Anna Holman and Victoria Thomas, she "Attended St. Mary's Hall, an elite Episcopalian finishing school founded in 1837 in Burlington, New Jersey, near Philadelphia...(enduring) terrible homesickness and culture shock upon...arrival in November 1854..(Mary) begged her father to 'come for me....We have no fire in our room and...it is so cold we do not know what to do...This is a lonesome place although there is so many girls, but they will not go with us they think that they are too good." (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 174) Henson and Parmelee also wrote that in 1862, Mary, "an old maid at twenty-two, also has typhoid, but recovered to help care for her deceased sister's children while their father was in the army." (ibid, p. 220) Not living with her parents at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census. In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876. This Mary Garrett would have been around age 25 in 1865, and could have married Joseph Little. However, they can not be located either the 1870 or 1880 census of San Augustine County. If they did marry, he either died before 1870, and Mary next wed Henry Sublett; or they both moved away from San Augustine County prior to 1870. The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). She was shown on both census transcriptions as being born in Texas, and that both her parents were born in Tennessee. This appears to be a good match for this Mary Garrett. As Henry and Mary were still married in 1880, our Mary Garrett Sublett could not have wed Madison Sexton in 1876. Madison Sexton can not be located on either the 1870 or 1880 San Augustine County Texas census transcription.
