Mary "Polly" Grimmer Cartwright

Notes:

Polly became sick in July of 1846, and she died on September 30, after nearly thirteen years of marriage. She left two daughters, and was buried in the family cemetery only a short distance northeast of the Garrett home. (Noble).

Mary married William Garrett on 20 Oct 1833 in San Augustine County, Texas. William (son of Jacob Garrett and Charity Taylor) was born about 1808 in Tennessee; died on 12 Jan 1884 in San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Presumably died before his mother. Not listed as a child of Mary Cartwright and William Garrett in Henson and Parmelees' book about the Cartwrights of San Augustine.

Notes:

Minta and her husband lived next to William and Lucretia Garrett in 1860. She appears to have died sometime thereafter, as in 1870, her three young children were living with the Garrett family, and in 1880, her son William was still living in the Garrett household, listed as a grandson. Henson and Parmelee, in their book THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, indicate that she died on typhoid fever, after an illness of seven weeks. (p. 220)

Clementine married Benjamin Frank Price before 1854. Benjamin was born about 1827 in Alabama; died before 1870 in San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Along with her cousins, Anna Holman and Victoria Thomas, she "Attended St. Mary's Hall, an elite Episcopalian finishing school founded in 1837 in Burlington, New Jersey, near Philadelphia...(enduring) terrible homesickness and culture shock upon...arrival in November 1854..(Mary) begged her father to 'come for me....We have no fire in our room and...it is so cold we do not know what to do...This is a lonesome place although there is so many girls, but they will not go with us they think that they are too good." (Henson and Parmelee, THE CARTWRIGHTS OF SAN AUGUSTINE, p. 174)

Henson and Parmelee also wrote that in 1862, Mary, "an old maid at twenty-two, also has typhoid, but recovered to help care for her deceased sister's children while their father was in the army." (ibid, p. 220)

Not living with her parents at the time of the 1880 San Augustine County census.

In Book Two of the San Augustine County, Texas Marriage book, there are marriage records listed for a "Mary Garrett" to Joseph Little in 1865, to Henry Sublett in 1869, and to Madison Sexton in 1876.

This Mary Garrett would have been around age 25 in 1865, and could have married Joseph Little. However, they can not be located either the 1870 or 1880 census of San Augustine County. If they did marry, he either died before 1870, and Mary next wed Henry Sublett; or they both moved away from San Augustine County prior to 1870.

The Mary Garrett who married Henry Sublett in 1869 was born sometime between 1835 (ref: 1880 census) and 1842 (ref: 1870 census). She was shown on both census transcriptions as being born in Texas, and that both her parents were born in Tennessee. This appears to be a good match for this Mary Garrett.

As Henry and Mary were still married in 1880, our Mary Garrett Sublett could not have wed Madison Sexton in 1876. Madison Sexton can not be located on either the 1870 or 1880 San Augustine County Texas census transcription.

Mary married Henry William Sublett on 15 Jul 1869 in San Augustine County, Texas. Henry was born on 27 Aug 1845 in San Augustine County, Texas; died on 23 Dec 1883. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Where is he in 1880? Can't locate him on the San Augustine County, Texas census transcription.

Notes:

Living with his mother's younger half-brother in 1880 in San Augustine, both were shown as bachelors. Both were listed as farmers.

Notes:

Texas Death Records show her as the daughter of Henry Sublett and Mary Garrett.
