I'm searching for information on Mary Yates Sexton Henshaw (1862-1910), married to William Pinkney Sexton (1859-1888). These were my Great-great grandparents. I think that William Pinkney Sexton died in Adair County, Kentucky on May 27, 1888. Mary later married William Henshaw in Texas. She is buried in Sherman, Grayson County, Texas. Most of what I know of Mary comes from her obituary, her headstone, and bits and pieces of info from older family members.

I can't seem to find any documented information about Mary before she came to Texas. Several family trees I have checked seem to get William Pinkney Sexton confused with either Pinkney Jackson Sexton (1821-1889 son of William Sexton and Nancy Burks) or William Wesley Sexton (1854-? son of Pinkney Jackson Sexton and Lucinda Fenton).

Any help that could be given would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to organize this information before our French Family Reunion (children of Benham Audley French 1881-1933 and Estella Gertrude Sexton 1883-1967) in June 2008.
