Jennie's Research Notes:

1. I have pictures of the cemetery markers for five of Joshua & Sarah's six chidren.
2. Would appreciate help in locating Joshua & Sarah Sexton's burial location/s.
3. I have not been able to find Joshua & Sarah on a Federal Census record during their married life: 1870 & 1880. Would appreciate any help with this family.
4. The oldest child, Malinda Jane Sexton is also a mystery. She married William James in Webster County, MO in 1879. However, her name is noted as Jane Saxon!
