1787 - 1841 (54 years)
Generation: 1
1. | John Cartwright 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. Notes:
John was the only son of Matthew (1754-1812) and Mary "Polly" Grimmer Cartwright (1761-1824), although he had five sisters. He was a grandson of John Cartwright (1728-1780) and Sarah Miller.
Harry Noble wrote a twenty page biography of him in his book, TEXAS TRAILBLAZERS (pages 70 - 90). He noted that much additional material can be found in the first five chapters of Margaret Swett Henson and Deolece Parmelee's volume THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE (Texas State Historical Association, Austin, 1993).
Margaret Henson, in her preface of her book about the Cartwright Family, writes that Emily Griffith Roberts, the wife a John Cartwright's great-grandson, privately published a two-volume genealogy about the family in 1939 and 1948. The volumes included research and many documents concerning the Roberts, Griffiths, Cartwrights and other interrelated families. A committee of descendants later employed Mrs. Deolece Parmelee to explore the collections of papers scattered in private hands, along with some archived at the Eugene C. Barker Texas History Center, and to prepare a more complete history. Parmelee made photocopies and typescripts, arranged them in a usable order, and eventually compiled a 450 page typescript. This was largely the basis for Henson's 1993 book.
Noble wrote that when John Cartwright was five years old his parents sold their farm in North Carolina and moved westward across the mountains into Tennessee. There they purchased two hundred acres on Drake's Lick Creek in Sumner County. John spent his childhood in Tennessee. He would continue a pilgrimage that would cover approximately 800 miles and involve at least five moves, but when completed thirty-three years later, he would be in Texas--his home for the remainder of his life. Texas would also be the home for several generations of his descendants.
While in Wilson County, Tennessee, John was a merchant, an occupation he would continue for the rest of his life. By 1818 he was having trouble collecting certain debts. His attorney, a new resident in Lebanon, Tennessee, was Sam Houston....the two men were detstined to meet again--the next time in San Augustine, Texas. (Noble, page 71)
John later moved his family to Mississippi, and "caught 'Texas fever' when the new Mexican government...stabilized...with a constitution resembling that of the United States." He began the last leg of his pilgrimage in early 1825...(taking) his family down the Mississippi River to New Orleans by steamboat and then across the Gulf and up the Red River. Leaving the river at Natchitoches, the family traveled by wagons overland past Fort Jessup to James Gaines ferry. John picked his homesite about five miles east of the Ayish Bayou close to the banks of springs near Palo Gacho Creek. The area was vacant, not a settler anywhere near, "...although the house of a previous owner remained in the vicinity." John's thirty-three year odyssey was over, ending on the banks of the Palo Gacho Creek in Texas and Coahuila, Mexico. What a mosiac of people John found in the Ayish Bayou region when he arrived. Most were hard working farmers or businessmen of modest means, but some were unscruplous drifters, already at odds with the law. (Noble, page 72)
John and his family can be found on the 1835 Sabine District census. Their were 11 slaves in their home, from ages 12 to 39. There were also 4 children born to their slaves.
On August 21, 1840, with the assistance of San Augustine attorney William W. Frizell, Cartwright made his will. In it he gave the 885 acre homesite on Palo Gacho to his two minor sons, Clinton and Richard. He also gave his wife an interest in the homesite and placed the restriction that it couldn't be sold until after her death. Additionally, he gave her all monies due him by debt. He then distributed the remaining assets to various family members. (Noble, 89) John Cartwright died on July 18, 1841, and (his son-in-law William) Garrett, along with Mary, Cartwright's widow, were appointed executors of Cartwright's estate. Their selections was confirmed the following month. With assistance from Matthew Cartwright, Garrett then compiled an inventory of the estate. It was valued at $72,800. (Noble)
In the book, The Cartwrights of San Augustine, it was noted that elder sons, Matthew and Robert, challenged the will, likely on the grounds that the document was not in keeping with the community property laws adopted by the Republic of Texas in January 1840, and because John had exceeded his testamentary powers in the distribution of his property to his children. Mary Cartwright immediately renounced her executorship in order to contest John's will so as to "receive in common with my children such portions of said estate as we are by law entitled to." The family reached a settlement in January 1842. (Henson and Parmelee, pp. 119-120).
John married Mary E. "Polly" Crutchfield on 21 Jan 1807 in Wilson County, Tennessee. Mary was born on 26 Oct 1787 in Virginia; died on 17 Jun 1848 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Cartwright Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

2. | Matthew Cartwright (1.John1) was born on 11 Nov 1807 in Wilson County, Tennessee; died on 1 Apr 1870 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. 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).

3. | Robert Grimmer Cartwright (1.John1) was born on 25 Mar 1809 in Wilson County, Tennessee; died on 1 Mar 1853 in Shelby County, Texas. 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).

5. | George Washington Cartwright (1.John1) was born on 2 Aug 1812 in Wilson County, Tennessee; died on 26 Jun 1881 in Sabine County, Texas. 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.

7. | Clementine G. "Mentie" Cartwright (1.John1) was born on 14 Apr 1819 in Wilson County, Tennessee; died on 10 Mar 1847 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Holman Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. 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.

9. | John Clinton Cartwright (1.John1) was born on 10 Sep 1823 in Pike County, Mississippi; died on 10 May 1848 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Cartwright Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. 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]

10. | Richard Hankins Cartwright (1.John1) was born on 25 Apr 1828 in Ayish Bayou, Texas And Coahuila, Mexico; died in Apr 1856 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Cartwright Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. 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).

11. | Columbus "Cumby" Clinton Cartwright (2.Matthew2, 1.John1) was born on 23 Aug 1837 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 12 Dec 1901 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in San Augustine City Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. 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).

12. | Americus "Meck" Peyroux Cartwright (2.Matthew2, 1.John1) was born on 17 Mar 1840 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas; died on 11 Aug 1873 in Carthage, Panola County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. 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).

13. | Leonidas "Lon" Cartwright (2.Matthew2, 1.John1) was born on 14 Nov 1842 in Texas; died on 25 Feb 1922 in Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. Notes:
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.

16. | Matthew Cartwright, Jr. (2.Matthew2, 1.John1) was born on 11 Aug 1855 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 11 Nov 1925 in Kaufman County, Texas; was buried in Oakland Memorial Park Cemetery, Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas. 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).

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).

21. | Mary V. Cartwright (5.George2, 1.John1) was born about 1846 in Texas; and died. Notes:
She appears to have married a Mr. KAY, and was left widowed prior to the 1870 census.
|
22. | John Garrett (6.Mary2, 1.John1) was born about 1834 in San Augustine County, Texas; died before 1846 in San Augustine County, Texas. 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.
|
23. | Clementine "Mintie" Garrett (6.Mary2, 1.John1) was born about 1836 in Texas; died on 18 Dec 1862 in San Augustine County, Texas. 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]
|
24. | Mary Garrett (6.Mary2, 1.John1) was born on 6 Dec 1837 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 23 Dec 1883. 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]
Children:
- 84. Minnie Clementine Sublett was born on 15 Mar 1873 in Texas; died on 20 Feb 1954 in San Augustine, San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in San Augustine City Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas.

|
25. | Anna Holman (7.Clementine2, 1.John1) was born on 15 Jan 1839 in Texas; died about 1923. 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).

26. | William "Billy" Sanford Holman, Jr. (7.Clementine2, 1.John1) was born about 1842 in Texas; and died. 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).

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).
