Seeking info on the family of James B. & Elizabeth (Cogburn) CARLTON.
James b. ca 1835 AL, son of James Columbus & Elizabeth (Akin/Aiken) CARLTON.
Elizabeth Cogburn b. 1841 GA, dau of Jackson & Martha Ann (Grace) Cogburn.
James & Elizabeth married ca 1858, probably in Newton Co, TX
Their children:
1. Martha M. b. ca Jun 1859 in TX
2. William b. 1862 TX
James B. CARLTON d. 1864 killed in CW. I don't have documentation on this, but it is
probably correct.
1870 Elizabeth and her two children are living with her parents, Jackson & Martha
(Grace) Cogburn in Newton Co, TX.
1880 I can't find Elizabeth, Martha or William, here is my dilemma:
1880 Census Newton Co TX, I find living with Jackson & Martha (Grace) Cogburn: Trojan
Carlton age 17 [b. 1863] and Emma Carlton age 15 [b. 1865]. They are listed as grand son
& grand dau. Who are these children? Is Trojan, William b. ca 1862? Is Emma, Martha M.
b. 1859, she would be 21 not 15?
Did Elizabeth remarry 1870 - 1880? If so, to whom?
James B. Carlton married our g g grandmother, Jane (maiden name unk) Hardin/Harden, 1 Dec
1857, Itawamba Co MS. Jane's deceased spouse was George A.B. HARDIN. James CARLTON
& Jane had one child, Frances Catherine b. 6 Oct 1858. James deserted the family
before 1860 as Jane is head of hhold and using the name Jane HARDIN/HARDEN.
Any help with the family of James B. & Elizabeth is greatly appreciated.
