    Notes 
    • Henson and Parmelee wrote that after her husband died suddenly at a young age, his widow, Clementine was only age twenty-four, with two small children. The probate court named the widow and Sanford's brother, William W. Holman, administrators of the estate. The Treasury Department of the State of Texas had filed suit agains Sanford prior to his death, and they won this, resulting in his heirs becoming liable for this debt. Both Sanford and Clementine had inheritied land from their parents that in 1842, a year before Sanford died, totaled about 15,000 acres. By 1844, the year after her husbands death, Clementine owed taxes on four slaves and one silver watch plus acreage. The continuing hard times slowed land sales, but Clementine managed to pay some debts by transferring some acreage, while other tracts were sold at sherriff sales for back taxes and other debts. By 1846, the struggling widow owned only 1,476 acres valued at a mere $369, an average of twenty-five cents per acre." (Henson and Parmelee, p. 127). Henson and Parmelee write that she when she died, four years after the death of Sanford, her body was taken by wagon to be interred next to her husband in the Holman family plot northwest of town. (ibid, pp. 150-151).
