    Notes 
    • Richard had his young nephew, Sandford Cartwright, living in his home at the time of the 1850 census, when older brother George appears to have gone to California to look for gold.

      Richard inherited Jordan, a valuable slave who was trained as a blacksmith, after the death of his elder brother Clinton, but sold him in 1852 for his tax value of $1,625. For a Cartwright heir, Richard seemed to have been constantly short of funds, which suggests perhaps gambling and drinking too much. Family letters in 1873 refer obliquely to the tragedy of too much alcohol, but do not mention names. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 177).

Her former husband, Richard, moved to 300 acres of Palo Gacho land for a pasture for his cows. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 178)
