Desc S.S. Saxon

His name could be Sanford Samuel or Samuel Sanford since in every case where we find he has given his name, he has written "S.S. Saxon".

From other family members, it is thought that the Rev. Saxon and wife Maranza may have died near LaGrange, Fayette Co, TX from Small Pox. I have not found anything to verify or dispute this.

Family lore states that Samuel Sanford Saxon's father, first name unknown, came from Ireland, date unknown. He was a minister and preached to the native tribes, probably in GA, maybe other states such as FL or the Carolinas.

Supposedly, he married a full-blood but the tribe she came from is not known, when is not known and this is all that we have concerning any connection to Native American bloodlines via the SAXON surname.

Their son Samuel Lewis, was the only child to spell the family name as "Sexton", instead of "Saxon". The reason is not known, however it is believed that perhaps it is how the Hunt family thought it was spelled.

More on the Duty family:

"In the year of 1814, Solomon left Tennessee and went to Indiana where new land was available. Solomon Duty left Indiana and must have moved through the states of Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas and on to Texas, because he left daughters in each state. Martha Duty remained in Indiana, Sarah Duty lived in Illinois, Ann Duty lived in Missouri, and Mary Duty and Mildred Duty remained in Arkansas.

In 1821 Stephen F. Austin chose Solomon Duty as one of the three hundred colonists to immigrate to Texas. Solomon Duty went to Texas with his children Joseph Duty, William Duty, Richard Duty and Elizabeth Duty. It is believed that he came to Texas in 1822. Along with Solomon Duty, two of his sons, George and Joseph Duty, were each granted one league (4,428 acres) of land on July 19, 1824, as one of Stephen F. Austin's "Old Three Hundred" original Texas settlers.

On October 30, 1832, Solomon Duty's minor children William Duty, Richard Duty and Elizabeth Duty as heirs of Solomon, were granted one-half league of land located in present-day Bastrop County (East side of Colorado River, near the town of Bastrop).

It is believed that Marthy Duty left Indiana after her husband's death and joined her brothers in Weber Falls, Texas." -- Phyllis Malinak

From THE HANDBOOK OF TEXAS online:
DUTY, GEORGE (?-1837)
Early Texas settler, was born in 1797 or 1799 to Solomon Duty. He was living with William Stephenson in Hampstead, Arkansas Territory, in October 1823, when he took a letter from Stephenson to Stephen F. Austin in Texas. Evidently Duty remained in Texas. As one of the Old Three Hundred Settlers, he was granted title to a league of land now in Fayette County on July 19, 1824; Duty's Creek, a tributary to the Colorado River, is named in his honor. He participated in the accolade election in 1825, and the census of that year listed him as a tanner. According to the census of March 1826 he was a partner of his brother, Joseph Duty, and was a single man, a farmer and stock raiser aged between twenty-five and forty. He was probably also a freighter, for in November 1831 he hauled brick to build a house for Anthony Butler. Duty moved to the Mina or Bastrop district before May 30, 1837, when he was appointed administrator of the estate of Matthew Duty. George Duty himself died later in 1837, and on January 22, 1838, William Duty was appointed administrator of George's estate.

From Hornsby Family Records (McLaurin GEDCOM: pg 00057)
"The excitement at length became so intense, and the Indians so bold in their outrages, that all the families again left their homes and got together in Bastrop. Men went out from town in armed squads, and worked their farms together, still tugging way at their late crops. Even this did not afford security from the savages; however, who seemed constantly on the alrt. Mathew Duty and Mike Hornsby were driving cattle into Bastrop. Noticing the cows in front raise their head and give sign of seeing something unusual, they suspected that Indians were coming, and just did get home in time to escape a band of Indians, who were pursing hard to a squad working the Duty Neighborhood, rode out one evening to look over the crop. He [Mathew Duty] was just out of sight when guns were heard and in a minute his horse was seen coming back at full speed, without his rider. Blood upon the saddle but corroborated the dark truth suggested by the shots, and runners springing upon their horses broke for Bastrop. A squad of men went out and found him killed and scalped." (1837) -- submitted by Phyllis Malinak

***Emma Saxon had taken a stagecoach to a town, more than likely it was in Bastrop County. As she was getting off the stagecoach, a gust of wind raised the hem of her dress enough to show her ankle. She was so embarrassed that she promptly fainted. Junius Fletcher "Punch" Nash was the stagecoach driver, probably sitting "shotgun". ( See Business Directory Compiled from the Bastrop Advertiser 1854 - 1879 "NASH, J. F. ("Punch") -- stage coach driver, Bastrop to McDade [12 Apr]" ) He later became a Deputy Sheriff (see 1910 Census Bastrop Co. TX) and by the 1930 Census, was listed as "Warden" in the Kleberg County Jail.

****An interesting story surrounds the death of baby Everett. It was one evening, just before dark, and shortly after the death of their parents that Paratine saw her mother walking down the path towards the place where they were staying. I don't think the children had been parcelled out yet because Paratine was holding little Everett. She saw that her mother's hands were out-stretched and Paratine understood that Maranza wanted the baby. Paratine shouted, "No! No! You can't have the baby!" and her mother vanished. Later that night little Everett passed away in his sleep.

⁺Junius "Punch" Nash had the measles, April 12, 1879 (see: Abstracts from Bastrop Advertiser - Bastrop County TX )

⁺⁺Reported by Gloria Cothern, grand-daughter of Emma Jane Saxon-Bastian & Marshall Punch Nash. See comment dated "8/19/2006"
