Mary E. "Polly" Crutchfield

Notes:

The daughter of George and Dicey Hoskins Crutchfield. George Crutchfield, her father, was a veteran of the revolutionary war. (Noble, page 71). Her family moved from Virginia into Kentucky, and later moved south into Tennessee. (Henson & Parmelee, page 4). On the 1880 census, son George indicates his mother was born in Virginia. "The Cartwrights of San Augustine" indicated that she grew up in Smith County, Tennessee, and that her four sisters and three brothers mostly remained in Smith County for the rest of their lifes.

Mary suffered from recurring malaria since at least 1847, and died ten days after son Clinton succumbed to the same disease. In twenty-two months, the three surviving Cartwright brothers has lost two sisters, a brother and their mother. (Hemson and Parmelee, pp. 153-154).

Mary married John Cartwright on 21 Jan 1807 in Wilson County, Tennessee. John was born on 10 Mar 1787 in Pitt County, North Carolina; died on 18 Jul 1841 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Cartwright Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

He began clerking and keeping books for his father's store in 1831, and in 1832 they formed a partnership, "Matthew Cartwright & Co." Each contributed $2,000 to the business. The store prospered. (Noble, pages 80 - 81).

In his August 30, 2007 column in the San Augustine Tribune, Harry Noble writes that Matthew was the richest man in San Augustine and the sixth wealthiest in the State of Texas in his era. In 1860, he owned so much land scattered across the state that as he traveled on his big sorrel horse "Red Buck," it was said that no matter where he was, that he could spend the night on his own land.

Noble went on to write that Matthew exhibited maturity at an early age. When he was 14, his father sent him to the unsettled frontier of Texas with one servant to clear land John had acquired two years earlier. John also gave his son power of attorney at age 18 and sent him to Tennessee and Mississippi to settle family affairs.

At the age of 21, Matthew traveled to Wilson County where he enrolled in a local college...late in 1829 Matthew rejoined his father in Texas who was then operating a family farm, cotton gin and store.

Matthew's paid $900 in 1849 for the two-story Isaac Campbell home on Main Street. The New England style home had been built by Augustus Phelps, a master carpenter, in 1839. The palatial dwelling was still standing in San Augustine, and is owned by Matthew's direct descendants, as of 2007. Never a large slaveholder, Matthew's slaves were all employed inside or around the house, taking care of the livestock, firewood, garden and orchard.

The home was purchased by Americus "Meck" H. Cartwright and his wife, Minnie Clementine Sublett in 1898, after Amanda was forced by ill health to move in with her son Lon, and remained in the hands of Meck and Minnie's descendants. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 302).

At the time of the 1850 census Matthew's land alone was worth $165,000, and he had only seven slaves, considerably lower than most other wealthy families. The 1850 slave schedule listed the number of male and female slaves, as well as their ages, but not their names. Matthew Cartwright's bible, however, shows them as Nancy, b. 1810 and her four children, Dick, b. 1836, Emeline b. 1838, Virtue b. 1840 and Walker, b. 1846. It also lists Jane, b. 1830 and her daughter, Harriet, b. 1849.

In 1860, Matthew's occupation was listed as "land trader" and it was estimated that his real estate was worth $500,000 and personal property near $75,000, with 13 slaves. Henson and Parmelee point out by way of contrast that brother-in-law and "planter" William Garrett had a $171,651 estate, including 132 slaves, and that "Farmer-Merchant" Iredell D. Thomas had $166,000 in accumulated wealth, and 52 slaves. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 191).

After the war, the president Andrew Johnson issued an amnesty proclamation restoring citizenship to those who would pledge future loyalty to the United States; however, those holding high military or civil offices in the Confederate government, as well as those with taxable property valued over $20,000, would have to petition him directly for individual pardons. Matthew, the pragmatic businessman, wanted to get his special pardon as soon as possible so that he could resume his activities and protect his property. He took his amnesty oath on August 28, 1865 in the Caddo Parish District Court and received a copy to carry with him in order to conduct business. He later recorded this in the San Augustine District Courty. (ibid, pp. 239-243). Unlike many of their neighbors, the Cartwrights survived the Civil War without the loss or maiming of a son. The emancipation of their few household slaves was not an economic loss comparable to those suffered by neighbor planters who possessed numerous field hands. And by carefully guarding their gold and silver reserves, as well as utilizing his long business experience to carefully buy, sell and barter during the war, the family was able to resume business activities relatively unhampered. (ibid, p. 247).

His funeral notice card read:

The friends and acquantances of
MATTHEW CARTWRIGHT, Sr.
are respectfully invited to attend his funeral tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, A.M. He will be buried with Masonic
honors, at this late residence in the town of San Augustine.
SAN AUGUSTINE, TEXAS, April 2, 1870

Amanda chose a burial plot several hundred feet east of the house.

No copy of the obituary that surely ran in the San Augustine paper can be found. The San Antonio Daily Express carried a brief obituary on May 1: "DIED at his home in San Augustine, first day of April, Matthew Cartwright, one of the pioneers of Texas, and one of the largest, if not the largest, land holder in the state." (ibid, p. 275).

When the inventory of his estate was compiled, it was shown that he owned 298 parcels of land in 56 counties, totalling 361,632 acres with a value of $356,304. Amanda inherited one-half as his widow, and the rest was to be divided equally among his six children.

At the time of the 1870 census, Amanda reported owning real estate worth $343,281, and personal property valued at $75,529, which ultimately placed the Cartwright estate as the fourth-largest in Texas, following those of Richard King in South Texas and Galveston Merchants, J. J. Hendley and George Sealy. (ibid, pp. 278-279).

Notes:

"Robert was a respected citizen of Shelby County, having served as a county commissioner and as trustee of the ambitious Shelby University. By 1850, he had an estate of about $13,000, comfortable by local standards but not as impressive of that of his elder brother, Matthew. His various enterprises included a mill and a store in addition to his farm in the Jonathan Bittick league, and like Matthew, Robert has several thousand acres of speculative land. He owned nine slaves who helped him raise cotton, corn, cattle, hogs and sheep. Beginning in 1851, Robert's family and slaves were treated for intermittent fever by Dr. William J. Ragland, a Tennessee kinsman.....Mary Lanier Cartwright became very ill in 1852 and died by the end of September; Robert survived her by less than seven months...He had named Matthew his executor and co-guardian of his children with W. W. Lanier, his brother-in-law." (Henson and Parmelee, pp. 165-166).

Notes:

She was named after Polly's mother. She died in Mississippi. FindAGrave shows, presumably in error, that she was buried in the Carwright Cemetery in San Augustine.

Notes:

Noble writes that he "Lived in Sabine County and was a charter member of the Jackson Masonic Lodge of Milam. He was a land speculator like his father and brother, Matthew. In 1881, he sold 20 A. to Wm. M Reese and S.E. Collier for the Sabine Valley University in Hemphill."

Henson and Parmalee indicate he was a blacksmith (p. 42). The authors also speculate that "George Cartwright may have taken his wife and small daughter Mary to California [during the Gold Rush]. The tax assessor in Sabine County listed him as a nonresident, and his name appears nowhere in Texas in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. George's five-year-old son Sanford lived with Uncle Richard Cartwright in San Augustine in 1850 and went to school in Shelby County for the next two years. George was back in Sabine County on June 5, 1860, when his steam mill exploded, damaging the machinery. He told a friend that he was "not dispirited" and thought he could repair it. (ibid, p 165). In a footnote, the authors also cite the "Diary of C. C. Cox," 49, [which] mentions a company of families from eastern Texas, including a blacksmith.

Notes:

Polly became sick in July of 1846, and she died on September 30, after nearly thirteen years of marriage. She left two daughters, and was buried in the family cemetery only a short distance northeast of the Garrett home. (Noble).

Mary married William Garrett on 20 Oct 1833 in San Augustine County, Texas. William (son of Jacob Garrett and Charity Taylor) was born about 1808 in Tennessee; died on 12 Jan 1884 in San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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).

Clementine married William Sanford Holman on 14 Jan 1838 in San Augustine County, Texas. William (son of Col. Isaac Holman and Anne Wigglesworth) was born on 12 Sep 1816 in Fayette County, Kentucky; died on 23 Dec 1843 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Holman Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Clinton worked as a errand boy and perhaps clerk for both is father and brother Matthew. (Henson & Parmelee, p. 103) Clinton inherited a boardinghouse and store from his father's estate, and also entered into a partnership in a blacksmith shop in town with William T. White, where he kept the slave Jordan, a valuable blacksmith given to him by his mother, employed. (Henson & Parmelee, p. 151). Clinton became quite ill with malaria in November 1847, and never fully recovered, dying in May 1848. (ibid, pp. 152-153).

John married Elvira "Ella" Holman on 19 Mar 1844 in San Augustine County, Texas. Elvira (daughter of Col. Isaac Holman and Anne Wigglesworth) was born on 14 Oct 1825 in Tennessee; died on 6 Apr 1855. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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).

Notes:

At the age of 16, Columbus and two other local boys were sent to the Kentucky Military Institute near Frankfort. They traveled by steamboat down the Red River and up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to Louisville, and then by train, the first they had seen, to Frankfort. Homesick, but conscious of his duty, Columbus missed no classes and worked very hard to please his parents. Upperclassman Moses A. Broocks wrote this his father that Columbus was 'one of the finest and healthiest looking' cadets." (Henson and Parmelee, pp. 171 -172). He had to return to San Augustine in 1855 due to poor health. He later attended Cumberland Unversity in Lebanon, Tennesse, with his brother Meck. Poor health continued to afflict Cumby the rest of his life. At the onset of the Civil War, he remained home with his young family, not enlisting in the C.S.A. with his brothers Meck and Lon (ibid, p. 200)

In the summer of 1861 Mosquito-borne fevers troubled San Augustine..."Columbus was so sick that he spoke of dying to his father before his slow recovery. Sallie, his wife, also had two chills but seemed to be better; Matthew probably did not know that she was expecting her third child. Other neighbors were very ill and some were dying." (ibid, pp. 206-207). The ledger books of his father, Matthew Cartwright, show that a number of payments of $50 or more were made to pay men to serves as Columbus's substitutes in the Confederate army, a practice that was later forbidden. (ibid, p. 216) In 1864, fearful that the Union forces would advance into Texas, Columbus joined Gen. Major's cavalry below Natchitoches by April 24. His brother Meck, who had been on sick leave since October 1863 rejoined as well. The brothers were among the Confederates who followed the retreating Union boats along the river banks. Eventually Cumby's old kidney ailment sent him to the rear. He returned to duty near Opelousas on May 31. By the end of July 1864 he was home on a furlough he had bought for $38. His health remained bad, and his leave was extended until November. (ibid, pp 235-236).

During the 1880's, Columbus formed a business partnership with two of his sons, Robert and John Matthew, both of whom had moved to Mt. Calm in Hill County, to raise fine horses. Columbus remained most of the time in San Augustine, maintaining a race track where he trained his favorite animals. Beginning in 1884 he bought throughbreds and was listed in the AMERICAN STUD BOOK and TURF, FIELD AND FARM (ibid, pp. 298-299). Once the overachiever of the family, Columbus had learned over the years that his kidney ailment could be controlled by simple quiet living, and raising racehorses and other livestock in San Augustine suited him. He remained behind as the rest of his siblings moved to westward to Terrell. (p. 308).

Sarah (daughter of Robert Lane and America "Meck" Holman) was born on 24 May 1841 in Tennessee; died on 18 Feb 1895 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in San Augustine City Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

John Bennett Boddie's SOUTHSIDE VIRGINIA FAMILY, Volume 1, states that Mr. Cartwright was a First Lt., C.S.A. in the Third Texas Cavalry and fought in the Missouri Campaign, later serving in General Major's brigade in Louisiana and Texas. His date of death was shown by Boddie as 11 Aug 1873, which matches the photo of his headstone on FindAGrave.

As had his older brother, Cumby, Meck attended the Kentucky Military Institute in Frankfort. In 1856 he had trouble with a reoccuring infection in his left eye...which eventually led to the loss of they eye. He later attended Cumberland Unversity in Lebanon, Tennesse, also with his brother Cumby. (Henson and Parmelee, p.179-183). He finished his studies in 1859 and returned home to clerk for the Burrus and Cartwright store. (ibid, p. 193).

On May 25, 1861, Meck, his brother Lon "and twenty other volunteers rode to Shelby County, where Captain Short lived, to enlist...Short's company left in June to rendezvous near Dallas, where along with other East Texas units, they were sworn into Col. Elkana Greer's mounted regiment....(and) eventually were designated as the Third Texas Cavalry, and Short's company became Company E." (ibid, p. 200). Upon reorganization of the regiment on May 8, 1862, Meck Cartwright became second lieutenant of Company E, chosen by the majority of the forty-seven members voting. (ibid, p. 215) Meck requested and received a medical discharge in August, 1862 due to his missing left eye and a more recent impairment to his hearing. (ibid, p. 217). He rejoined the Texas Third Cavalry in 1863...and became a forage master. (ibid, p. 229) later returning home on sick leave, and later still joining General Major's Cavalry (ibid, p. 235). In May, 1864, he ceased duty as a cavalryman and was promoted to courier dispatcher at General Major's headquarters. (ibid, p. 236).

In 1873, he died at a hotel in Carthage, while travelling on business. For some time he had suffered from various ailments, including jaundice, for which he took calomel or blue pills, both which contained mercury. He also used liquor to mitigate the pain, and on August 11, the doctor pronounced him as dead of black jaundice. (ibid, p. 287). When his widow some years later moved to Terrell, Texas, to join Meck's siblings, she had his body reinterred with those of his parents and siblings. (ibid, p. 308).

Obituary

The death of Leonidas Cartwright, Sr., at Terrell, Tex., on February 25, 1922, removed one of the most influential citizens of that community, a leader in movements for the public good. He was born at San Augustine, Tex., November 27, 1842, the third son of Matthew and Amanda Holman Cartwright. His grandfather, John Cartwright, was one of the pioneers of that section, going there from Tennessee in 1819, and the place where he located became, in 1831, the site of the present town of San Augustine.

Leonidas Cartwright was educated there and at the Military Institute at Bastrop, and when the war came on he and his brother, A. P. Cartwright, enlisted in May, 1861, in Company E, 3rd Texas Cavalry. When this regiment was reorganized in 1862 it became part of Ross's Brigade, and in 1864 this command took part in the Atlanta campaign under Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. During this campaign he was selected as one of a hundred picked men from this brigade, as scouts under Lieutenant Taylor, to operate in the rear of Sherman's army, getting valuable information, tearing up railroad tracks and bridges, etc., to interrupt his lines of communication; and it was in this department of the Confederate army that he was mustered out after a service of four years.

He was married to Miss Ludie Ingram in December, 1868, and engaged in farming until 1870, when his father died and he assumed the extensive land business of the latter, and carried it on with marked success until 1894. He opened up a ranch in Cooke County, Tex., and another in Taylor County, and he took great interest and pride in the raising of fine horses and cattle. He located in Terrell in 1895. Four sons and five daughters survive him. He had long been a member of the Methodist Church.

Henson and Parmelee note that in the early 1880's, Lon wanted to move to the boomtown of Terrell, where traveling by train to oversee his ranches would be easier. Hoping to persuade his reluctant mother, he bought a large residential block on Griffin Avenue in Terrell and divided the property with Matthew. (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 295). Intrigued by the success of his older brother, Cumby, with racing stock, Lon also invested in thoroughbreds, much to the diguist of their youngest brother, Matthew. The ever practical Matthew chided his mentor for risking money on exotic horses when mules were the real money makers. "Mules are a staple article," Matthew wrote, "and will command money; horses can scarcely be bartered for trash." (ibid, p 299). As his mother refused to leave San Augustine, however, Lon and his family remained in San Augustine until after her death in 1894. They built a custom Queen Anne style home on the lot they owned on Griffith Avenue, which was finished in April 1895.

Leonidas married Lucella "Ludie" Ingram on 17 Dec 1868 in Sexton, Sabine County, Texas. Lucella (daughter of Capt. William Ingram and Ann Bryan) was born on 17 Feb 1850 in Randolph County, Georgia; died on 24 Dec 1908 in Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas.

Mary married James "Jimmie" Melville Ingram on 14 Dec 1865 in San Augustine County, Texas. James (son of Capt. William Ingram and Ann Bryan) was born on 7 Dec 1840 in Georgia; died on 7 Jun 1900 in Kaufman County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In the fall of 1870, he was sent to a school in Gilmer, Upshur county, founded by Morgan Harbin Looney, a native of Georgia. One of the instructors was Judge Oran M. Roberts, adding to the schools prestige. He left after a term, and spent nine months travelling with elder brother Lon, learning the family business, and returned in the fall of 1872, staying only a few days before returning to San Augustine and enrolling at a school in Shelbyville.

His life was soon married by tragedy. On December 26, 1872, 17 year old Matt and 40 year old Carroll Ballard exchanged pistol shots near the old customs house in San Augustine. Details of the affray were suppressed by family and friends. While Matthew was not injured, he severely wounded the Ballard. Ballard's friends tied him to a horse and led him home to his wife, Clementine Texas "Tet" Ingram, the older sister of Jimmie Ingram (Mary's husband) and Ludie Cartwright (Lon's wife). Tet was a widow with three children and lived near Sexton in Sabine County when she married Ballard. They settled in Buena Vista in Shelby County, and had a stormy relationship, separating several times. Ballard had a violent temper, and had appear in court several times on charges of attempted murder. Matthew was arrested, but freed on bond. Rumors indicated that Matthew's life might be in danger from friends of the Ballards. He was acquitted on a charge of "assault to kill," but found guilty of unlawfully carrying a gun. He paid a $25 fine and surrendered his pistol.

Within a month, he was sent to Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee, well out of reach of Ballard's friend. Ballard died in December, 1873, a year after the shooting. Rumors continued to spread that his death was due to his earlier wounds, and that Ballard's friends still sought revenge. Other residents of Sabine County, however, told Mary Ingram that during his last feverish days, Ballard had expressed no animosity toward Matthew, believing that God had arranged the shooting to punish him for past misdeeds, and allow him to repent. Matthew left school in May, 1874, and decided not to return to the stagnating redlands, chosing to settle in the new railroad town of Terrell, in Kaufman County, opening a grain farm on inherited land, and engaging in the land business, as had his father. (Henson and Parmelee, pp. 280-293). Henson and Parmelee note that in the early 1880's, Matthew's brother Lon also wanted to move to the boomtown of Terrell, and ev even bought a large residential block on Griffin Avenue in Terrell and divided the property with Matthew. Matthew began building his large house in Terrell in 1882. His three story, five bedroom frame house with its square tower was impressive. It was finished by 1883, when his daughter Jerome Broocks was born. (ibid, pp. 295-296).

Matthew married Mary Cynthia Davenport on 24 Jul 1876 in Pittsburg, Camp County, Texas. Mary was born on 18 Jul 1856 in Texas; died on 26 Oct 1937 in Kaufman County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Henson and Parmelee show that she married A. D. McCUTCHAN, and that they were the parents of Mary and James. (Appendix, Chart II.) The couple moved to Upshur County in 1861, and after brief service with the Confederate Army, McCutchan was discharged because of poor health. He asked Matthew for help in disposing of the property he had left in San Augustine and also in identifying land Mandy had inherited from her father. She died sometime in the late 1860's leaving two children. Their son, James McCutchan, later worked for the Cartwrights and lived in Shelby County in 1888. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 266).

Sanford married Sarah "Sallie" Catherine Click about 1868. Sarah (daughter of William M. Click and Elizabeth Merchant) was born in Dec 1850 in Arkansas; died on 2 Oct 1902 in Texas; was buried in McMahan's Chapel Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She appears to have married a Mr. KAY, and was left widowed prior to the 1870 census.

Notes:

Presumably died before his mother. Not listed as a child of Mary Cartwright and William Garrett in Henson and Parmelees' book about the Cartwrights of San Augustine.

Notes:

Minta and her husband lived next to William and Lucretia Garrett in 1860. She appears to have died sometime thereafter, as in 1870, her three young children were living with the Garrett family, and in 1880, her son William was still living in the Garrett household, listed as a grandson. Henson and Parmelee, in their book THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, indicate that she died on typhoid fever, after an illness of seven weeks. (p. 220)

Clementine married Benjamin Frank Price before 1854. Benjamin was born about 1827 in Alabama; died before 1870 in San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Along with her cousins, Anna Holman and Victoria Thomas, she "Attended St. Mary's Hall, an elite Episcopalian finishing school founded in 1837 in Burlington, New Jersey, near Philadelphia...(enduring) terrible homesickness and culture shock upon...arrival in November 1854..(Mary) begged her father to 'come for me....We have no fire in our room and...it is so cold we do not know what to do...This is a lonesome place although there is so many girls, but they will not go with us they think that they are too good." (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 174)

Henson and Parmelee also wrote that in 1862, Mary, "an old maid at twenty-two, also has typhoid, but recovered to help care for her deceased sister's children while their father was in the army." (ibid, p. 220)

Not living with her parents at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census.

In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876.

This Mary Garrett would have been around age 25 in 1865, and could have married Joseph Little. However, they can not be located either the 1870 or 1880 census of San Augustine County. If they did marry, he either died before 1870, and Mary next wed Henry Sublett; or they both moved away from San Augustine County prior to 1870.

The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). She was shown on both census transcriptions as being born in Texas, and that both her parents were born in Tennessee. This appears to be a good match for this Mary Garrett.

As Henry and Mary were still married in 1880, our Mary Garrett Sublett could not have wed Madison Sexton in 1876. Madison Sexton can not be located on either the 1870 or 1880 San Augustine County Texas census transcription.

Mary married Henry William Sublett on 15 Jul 1869 in San Augustine County, Texas. Henry was born on 27 Aug 1845 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 23 Dec 1883. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Along with her cousins Mary Garrett and Victoria Thomas, she "Attended St. Mary's Hall, an elite Episcopalian finishing school founded in 1837 in Burlington, New Jersey, near Philadelphia...(enduring) terrible homesickness and culture shock upon...arrival in November 1854." (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 174)" She and her husband moved to Kaufman County soon after the civil war, but their relationship with her Uncle Matthew Cartwright seemed strained by his handling of some of her inheritance. (ibid, p. 264).

Anna married Richard F. Slaughter on 13 Jan 1857 in San Augustine County, Texas. Richard was born before 1839; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

William's "Uncle Billy" Holman was appointed his guardian in December, 1857 by Chief Justice Alfred Polk. William's sister, Anna Holman, and her husband, Richard F. Slaughter, a San Augustine Attorney filed a petition against William W. Holman and Matthew Cartwright to gain control of William Holman's interest in a 722 acre tract obtained by Clementine Holman dec'd as an heir to the estate of John Cartwright. After hearing the case the judge ruled against the Slaughters. (Noble, Harry P. TEXAS TRAILBLAZERS: SAN AUGUSTINE PIONEERS: Best of East Texas Publishers, Lufkin, Texas, 1999, pp. 128-129).

Henson and Parmelee write that "William S. Holman, the orphan son of Sanford and Clementine" served alongside his cousin, Lon Cartwright [a son of Amanda Holman] during the Civil War. On May 25, 1861, Lon, Meck "and twenty other volunteers rode to Shelby County, where Captain Short lived, to enlist...Short's company left in June to rendezvous near Dallas, where along with other East Texas units, they were sworn into Col. Elkana Greer's mounted regiment....(and) eventually were designated as the Third Texas Cavalry, and Short's company became Company E." (Henson & Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 200, p. 205) By 1862, Bill was a second lieutenant of Company C, and "acted nobly and received compliments from Maj. Stone for his gallant behavior." (ibid, p. 224). After the civil war, he moved to Bell County where, in addition to his own business, he watched over the investments of his Uncle, Matthew Cartwright. (ibid, p. 264).

Notes:

His cousins, Lon and Matthew Cartwright, hired him to manage ranches that they managed in Cooke County, north of Denton, and Stephens County, west of Forth Worth. (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 295).

Notes:

He was the first of his generation to leave Texas to attend college, in 1879, at age 19, he entered Vanderbilt in Nashville. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 297). He went on to be president of an oil and gas developemnt company in the area of Spindletop. (ibid, pp. 310-311) . The family was willing to explore new opportunities as time and technology changed. Since the company failed to produce sufficient income, however, the family sensibly cut their losses, and fell back on banking, real estate and ranching. (ibid, pp. 311 and 312).

Notes:

A "Miss Annie Roberts" was the maid of honor at the 1891 wedding of her sister, Amanda, to Eli Gaffney.

She had a 10 year old daughter, Louise Martin, with her as well. She later remarried, as in the 1931 obituary of her brother, Matthew Cartwright Roberts, she was referred to as Mrs. Annie Hinton of El Paso.
