Charles Blanchard, Editor. Chicago: F. A. Battey & Co., Publishers, 1884. Monroe County Biographical Sketches, Salt Creek Township, p. 673 Bio for John SEXTON, including STATON, SMITH John SEXTON, farmer, is a native of Greene County, Ind., was born December 28, 1835, and is a son of James and Mary (STATON) SEXTON, the former a native of Alabama, the latter of Kentucky. James SEXTON was reared and attended school in Tennessee, whither he had gone at an early age, and when about twenty-one years of age removed to Kentucky, remained ten years; afterward came to Greene County, this State, and finally to this township, where he finished his earthly course in October, 1874. Mrs. SEXTON is yet living at the age of eighty-four. She is, as Mr. SEXTON was, a member of the Separate Baptist Church. John SEXTON received but slight education, having been depended upon to assist the family in the work of the farm during his boyhood. He remained at home, therefore, until he was twenty-six years of age, about which period, September 19, 1861, he married Margaret J. SMITH, a native of this county, a union which has been favored with two sons and one daughter. Sixteen years ago, Mr. SEXTON purchased the farm where he now resides, and has become one of the representative men of the township. He is a Democrat in politics, and he and lady are worthy members of the Christian Church.
