Notes for Andrew Jackson Sexton
His death certificate records A. J. Sexton, age 91 years 1 month 21 days, born 16 July 1858 in Virginia, died 8 Sep 1949 in Morehead, Rowan Co., Ky, married, farmer, father William Sexton, mother’s maiden name Martha Duncan, cause of death coronary occlusion, informant Mrs. A. J. Sexton, burial in Lee Cemetery, Morehead.
The maiden name for Andrew’s mother is probably incorrect. Note that when Martha died in 1915, Andrew was the informant on her death certificate, and he reported that he did not know her maiden name. So his wife is not very likely to have known it if he didn’t.
