Notes:
- Charles Sexton was the son of
Henry Youmans Sexton and Roxa Adams.
Charles was the brother of my great-great-grandmother
Jane Ann Sexton. Charles and
Jane Ann were both born in Waterbury, Connecticut, as
was their mother, Roxa Adams. Henry Youmans Sexton was
born in New York City.
- Ellen Eliza Sexton was the
daughter of Henry Youmans Sexton and
Minerva Peat. Hence Ellen was
the half-sister of Charles. Ellen never married. She
lived with one relative or another until the end of her life.
Ellen was born in Brunswick, Medina County, Ohio.
Ellen's mother Minerva Peat was born in Oxford, Connecticut.
- Charles's wife Nancy M. Lewis was born in New York.
- All of Charles and Nancy's children were born in
Duplain, Clinton County, Michigan.
- The occupation of "keep h" means "keeping house."
- The occupation of "f labor" means "farm labor."
- The occupation of "at sch" means "at school."
- The occupation of "h work" means "house work."
