BoboBOBO, DODD, SEXTON & TAYLOR FamiliesI've been researching the SEXTON family of Spartanburg and later Union Co., SC for several years now. I have some 3000 descendants of Thomas SEXTON who died shortly aft 1787 in Spartanburg Co., SC. Many of them left for other parts of the country however several families remained in the area at least into the 20th century. Some of the other family names that intermarry with SEXTONs are BOBO, DODD, and TAYLOR. Most of what I have concerns James SEXTON who moved from Spartanburg to Gwinnett Co., GA in the 1820's (about 2/3 of the database). Most of the remainder are descendants of William SEXTON (James' brother) who remained in Spartanburg until his death in the 1840's. I'd like to share this this information or lookup any of the above famlies. Jim Sexton.The FOSTER FamilyI have researched the Foster family for many years and have a large database.
