FREEMAN FAREFIELD SEXTON, born August 14, 1827. Son of Augustus and
Anna L. (Young) Sexton and grandson of Noah and Martha Sexton,
natives of Massachusetts, who emigrated from that State about 1815.

Mr. Sexton is a farmer of Meade District. In his young manhood took
up this reliable vocation and now owns 150 acres of well improved
land with a good home and out buildings thereon, near the Postoffice
of French Creek.

On December 23, 1851, he married Mildred Virginia Craig, who was the
daughter of William and Emily (Brown) Craig. Her father emigrated
from Albermarle County, Va., in 1845, settling in Lewis County and
lived there till his death, which occurred at the ripe age of 100
years, 5 months and one day.

Mr. Craig was a Southern Methodist in religion, and a tobacco farmer
during the most of his life.

Children are: Emma M., wife of Seymore See; Louisa M., wife of
Arthur Gould; Lucy E., wife of A. M. Linger; Martha T., dead; Eliza
A., wife of W. B. Linger; William W., dead; Ida M., wife of L. P.
Shinn; French A., married Harriet Dix; Ettie E., milliner at
Buckhannon.

Mr. Sexton's father was widely known as a school teacher in this and
adjoining counties for the forty years he worked at this profession.

The subject of this sketch is a Presbyterian, an Elder in the Church
for many years. Lives on his farm near French Creek.
