SARAH HELON JUSTICE TACKER 1841 - 1928

October 16, 2022

Today John’s paternal 2nd great-grandmother, Sarah Helon Justice Tacker would have been 181.


16 OCT 1841 - Born in Carroll County, MS to Obadiah Justice, age 31 and Mary Ann Jane Ward Justice, age 21. 


This one is a mess. There could be a lot of siblings. More research and documentation will need to be done!!! If you see a ⚠️ that means that I’m not sure if this information is correct.


From what I can tell she was the third of ten children. There is a Mary C. and Flavions/Flavius/Florius/Florius on the 1850 census who would’ve been born before Sarah but I’ve located a Mary C. in the Oakes Cemetery in Limestone County, TX, where other relatives are buried so I think this is the same person. Not sure why she is listed as age 12 on the 1850 census.


8 MAY 1845 - Birth of sister, Mary C. [Carroll County, MS].


18 FEB 1843 - Birth of brother, William George [Carroll County, MS]. 


11 DEC 1847 - Birth of sister, Courtney [Carroll County, MS]. 


⚠️ Abt. 1849 - Birth of sister, Edith [Carroll County, MS]. 


1850 - Residence - Northern Division, Carroll, MS.



1850 - Moved to TX.


AUG 1854 - Birth of sister, Emmaline Lee [Limestone County, TX].


27 MAR 1858 - Birth of sister, Alice Josephine [TX].


1860 - Residence - Precinct 5, Personville, Limestone, TX.



On this census it shows M.C. as 15. If this was the same Mary C. from 1850 she would’ve been around 22. 


Abt. 1860 - Birth of sister, Martha Mattie [TX].


1 AUG 1861 - Death of sister, Mary C. [Limestone County, TX]. Since I found a grave for her at Oakes Cemetery I think this is the correct person.


16 NOV 1865 - Married Wesley Summerfield Tacker in Limestone County, TX. They were both 24. 


15 DEC 1869 - Birth of daughter, Clara Ann [Limestone County, TX]. This is John’s great-grandmother.


1870 - Residence - District 48 West Texas, Limestone, TX.



7 JUN 1872 - Death of mother, Mary Ann Jane Ward [Personville, Limestone, TX].


14 DEC 1873 - Birth of daughter, Mary Ella [Limestone County, TX].


16 JUL 1877 - Birth and death of infant daughter, [Freestone County, TX].


6 DEC 1877 - Death of husband, Wesley [Limestone, TX] at the age of 36. They had been married 12 years.

13 JUN 1890 - Death of sister, Courtney [Comanche County, TX].
