NOTES

Margaret E.6 Sexton (Joel5, James4, William3, John2, Unknown1) was born Abt. 1839 in IN. She married Alfred Goode July 11, 1858 in Shelby Co., IL, son of Nathaniel Goode and Sarah Morgan. He was born Abt. 1836, and died Bet. 1878 - 1879 in Shelby Co. , IL.

Notes for Margaret E. Sexton: I can't guarantee that Margaret is a daughter of Joel and Anna Dugger, but she is living with Lemuel and Mary on 1850 census: she is too old to be their child, Joel & Anna Dugger are living right next door. They have a gap in children from a 13 yr old to an 8 yr old. I THINK she belongs to them. Joel is in Shelby Co., IL by 1860 and I find a Margaret marrying Alfred Good on 7-11-1858 in Shelby Co. Marr book C/ 70

In 1880, she is living next door to Joel's son and her ,probable, brother, Boon Sexton

Children of Margaret Sexton and Alfred Goode are:

• 1059 i. Henry7 Goode, born Abt. 1860.
• 1060 ii. Mary E. Goode, born Abt. 1862.
• 1061 iii. Nancy A. Goode, born Abt. 1866.
• 1062 iv. Biretella Goode, born August 01, 1870; died December 08, 1891.
• 1063 v. Louella Goode, born Abt. 1871.
• 1064 vi. Ida Goode, born Abt. 1878.
