Patricia O'Conner' S notes

Some data and information seems to conflict depending upon which family tree you find access to.

Had at least 19 children Went to Kentucky 1810.

Could of been married 3 times.

Blacksmith

Amy was mother of the 1st 9 children and died during the child birth of James and Isaac

It appears that Edith moved the family to Indiana after James death.

1850 Census Grayson Co, VA.

death is found also as 4 Jul 1854 or 1858, , Laurel, Kentucky and said to be buried Whitley co., Ky. Hart Alsiop Cemetery

Another states he was buried Buried northwest of Bloomington, IN

marriage date is as written and conflicts with the list of children given and their birth dates.

Obtain land Patents 1 Sep. 1801

Probably listed on the Greene co. the. 1830 census as pg. 169 James Sexton
males 2 under 5, 1 20-3 females: 1 under 10 & 1 20-30

Everyone says that James md (2) "a German girl named Edith", yet no marriage ever found.

It has always been said that James had 8 children with Amy Durham, 11 more with Edith.

Since Willis Sexton found the Polly Rogers marriage in 1828, I have moved the children born after that year to show Mary Rogers as their mother. It is not proven, it is MY IDEA! Also, please note that five of the children listed here were all born before James & Amey were married, so these dates are highly suspect.There is no proof, but this way, maybe, someone else will be able to prove one way or the other.

He thinks Mary may be a 2nd or 3rd marriage for James. Since we show several of the children born between 1825, when Amey died, and 1828, when James married Mary, this is likely a third wife.

James' birthdate is obscure. The tombstone at Alsip Cem. shows 1770. I have been told he was b. ca 1788. I rather think that the date on the tombstone is incorrect. The 1830 census shows him age 40-50: 1840, he is still 40-50 and 1850 shows him as age 60. So he was b. between 1780 and 1790. I don't think he was b. 1770.

Knox Co, Court Minute Book A pg 59 February Term - Ordered that James Sexton have a certificate for 400 acres of Land by virtue of an actual settlement made there on Lying on Craigs Creek a branch of Laurel river beginning on a white oak thence a north course nearly as far as the caw[?] will allow thence westardly for Quantity.

=====================================

PLEASE do not confuse and merge the following James Sexton & Isaac Sexton:

The Sexton Notebook has confused James Washington Sexton and mix him to another set of parents. the note at the top of this page says

NOTE: Two orphan boys were raised by Isaac Sexton and Hannah Morgan. Isaac Sexton Jr. and James Sexton were sons of Isaac Sexton's brother James Sexton and wife Amy Durham who died from complications.

Isaac Sexton & James Washington Sexton were twins born 21 Dec 1825 by the information given by the Sexton notebook

As an added note - Isaac Sexton son of Isaac Sexton and Amy Durham did have a brother James Sexton b. June 4, 1824
