Family Mary Crutchfield Cartwright, b. 15 Oct 1845, San Augustine County, Texas d. 23 Nov 1903, Kaufman County, Texas (Age 58 years)

Marriage 14 Dec 1865 San Augustine County, Texas [1, 8]

Mary and her sister Anna had commenced writing letters to "care-worn soldiers" other than their brothers...and their correspondence between Mary and Capt. James M Ingram blossomed into an engagment and marriage at the end of the war. (Henson and Cartwright, p. 227) After the war, he came to Matthew's door to ask for Mary's hand. Mary gave her father a long list of necessities before he again left for Shreveport, and returned home in October with almost all she had requested. The wedding took place in the Cartwright Parlor. Matthew paid $8 for photographs of the happy couple and the family, and a month later, just before the couple left for Opelousa, Louisiana, he gave his daughter $2,000 as a wedding gift. Money now had to substitute for the traditional family matrimonal gift of land and slaves. Ingram took his bride to his family's Evergreen farm near Opelousa, where he and Mary lived jointly with his sister Molly and her husband, Dr. Hector McDuffie . (ibid, pp. 243-246).

After her father'e estate was settled, the Ingram's moved to the 428-acre farm on the eastern edge of San Augustine upon which Columbus Cartwright had formerly resided. (ibid, p. 282). In 1873, Lon and Ludie Cartwright once again swapped residences with Jimmie and Mary, returning to their old home in San Augustine while the Ingrams moved to Sexton. (ibid, p. 283).

He ran a plantation at Sexton, in Sabine County, where he also owned a cotton gin and conducted land business like his Cartwright brother-in-law. Ingram relatives often lived with them including a spinster who provided company for Mary when Jimmie traveled on business. In 1888 Jimmie became the state senator for District 2, composed of Sabine, Shelby, San Augustine, and Rusk counties. Mary accompanied her husband to Austin for the first session in at the start of 1889, staying briefly at the Driskill Hotel before settling into one of the numberous boarding houses near the capitol. He was reelected for a second term in 1891, and Mary did not go to Austin again, having discovered few wives accopanied their legislative husbands (ibid, pp. 302-304). After the 1894 death of Amanda Cartwright, they also moved to Terrell, Texas, their family circle complete, but for brother Columbus. (ibid, p. 307).
