I would think your William may be too old to be the right age for a son of Milton Sexton's oldest son, William R. Sexton. William R. Sexton was born in Illinois in 1866. We think he may have been widowed when his children were fairly young. We have a seven year old grandson living with Milton and Rachel in Kansas in 1900 named Clarence Sexton. We believe he was William R. Sexton's son. William R. may have ended up in Denver, CO. on a later census. The census data fits but one never knows with out more concrete evidence. We do know several of Milton's children and grandchildren lived in the area of south-western Missouri and north western Arkansas. We also have not been able to find any trace of Milton's younger brother, Jefferson H. Sexton. We may have found him in St. Louis in the 1880s but can't be sure. I don't know if this gives you any clues or adds to the confusion! Let me know if any of this ties in! Good luck... Kathy
