Sarah Mildred Margaret Maddox

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.
