Sarah Mildred Margaret Maddox

1853 - 1885  (31 years)

• Name	Sarah Mildred Margaret Maddox  [1, 2, 3, 4]
  Born	29 Dec 1853	Robertson County, Texas   [1, 2, 3]
  Gender	Female
  Died	11 Apr 1885	Fannin, Goliad County, Texas   [1]
  Notes	At the time of the 1870 federal census, 16 year old Sarah was living in the home of J O Maddox, age 46, and born in Georgia. Other members of that household were Myra, 26 F W born in Mississippi, Pinkney 5 F, Thomas 3 M, and Joseph 2 M. The younger household members were born in Texas, as was Sarah. As Sarah was the last member listed in the household (as opposed to be listed chronologically with the other minors in the home) it appears that she was likely not a child of J. P. Maddox, but likely related in some other fashion as they shared the same last name. The following information is from a family group sheet done by Ms. Bernice Jump on the 14 of Jan 1995: Obituary of Sarah Cassels, Victoria Advocate, April 25, 1885. Mrs. Sarah Cassels, wife of Mr. J.W.Cassels, died on Saturday April 11, 1885 at her home on Perdido, this county, of pneumonia. The relatives have our sincere sympathy in their sore affliction. Sarah was known to her family and friends as Sade. Information was taken from papers that Juanita Johnson had worked on. She got her information from Bible records, census 1850, legal records and other research. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=carolynegould&id=I5032

  Married	7 Aug 1850	Robertson County, Texas   [5]
  	Per a letter from Esther Hardin McGrew, the youngest child of James Tate and Elizabeth McGrew was Mary June who married Benjamin Maddox. They had several children, and when both Ben and Mary June died, a man named Telephus Johnson (b. 1824, Georgia) took charge of both the children and their estate. He beat their young daughter, Jesse, to death. There is a lawsuit documenting all this. Because of this, a Maddox brother took in the remaining children and moved to Goliad, TX by 1870. One of the daughters of Mary June married into the Cassels family of Marion Co, MS. Wynema McGrew writes that a cousin, Mary Jane McGrew, and her husband John G. Maddox, helped to raise these children.
