Sexton were married in Gibson County TN in 1849. I am trying to locate Sarah J's Sexton family as well as the family members of William Henry Betts. The census states that he was born in NC. William and Sarah had the following children known to me, but there may have been more as there is a big gap between the youngest and the next born. Lodisa Jane (Dicey) b 1851 Gibson Co, TN, William Thomas, b. 1852, Albert Calvin, b 1853, Hardeman Co, TN, Joseph Eugene, b. 1860, Gibson Co, TN, Elizalla Anna, b 1861, Gibson Co, TN. and Samuel, b. 1867. After the Civil War Sarah J. Sexton Betts took her family and moved to Murphysboro, IL. There is no mention made of William Henry Betts in any of the records in IL. My grandmother, daughter of Lodisa Jane, said William H. died at the end of the War. Can find no proof. Why did she go to IL with a brood of kids? Must have had some relatives there? Any information greatly appreciated.
