Notes |
- Caroline Laura "Carrie" was the oldest child. While attending
college at Oak Bowery she met and married another student, Mr.
(Prof. William James) Saxon who in later life was a school teacher.
They settled in Waverly, Ala. Traditionally she is said to have
grieved because she had fared better than her sisters and her brother.
She said:
"I was brought up with a silver spoon in my mouth, even went to college but
my brother and sisters got nothing"..... We assume from this that she grew
up while her father was alive and the family in good circumstances and that
the family fell into hard times after Lorenzo's death.
The following is from findagrave.com, Sep 2015:
Caroline "Carrie" Laura Minter grew up in Ga., probably Harris Co. She met William James Saxon and they fell in love and were married on June 24, 1862 in Harris Co. Ga.
He was a school teacher and she was a homemaker and mother. She lost William when he died 1 week before his 45th birthday, Feb. 23, 1884. Carrie raised her children and lived to see her grandchildren. Carrie died in 1926 and was buried in the cemetery beside William. She was in her mid 80's.
