Sexton
Bridge is a family story and compilation of the descendants of James Sexton and
Nancy Williamson. They are part of the
Thomas Sexton family that first settled in Spartanburg County, SC along the
Tyger River about 1768. James Sexton and
Nancy Williamson married in SC in the early 1800’s and migrated to Gwinnett
County, GA before 1827. They raised
their family on a farm situated along the Yellow River in southern Gwinnett
County within sight of Stone Mountain.
Nearby, Sexton Bridge crossed the Yellow River on the road between
Atlanta and Lawrenceville. Many
descendants are found in the Gwinnett County area with others migrating in the
19th century to Alabama.
The book is available from Amazon.com – just click on the book image above.

corrections to suggest. If so, drop us a line.
Seaborn Sexton (the father of James Seaborn Sexton on the
previous page) served in the 48th AL Infantry during the War of Northern
Aggression. Sadly he died and was never returned
home. The original 48th AL Regiment, whose members were known as the 'Fortykin', is faithfully remembered by the brothers John and James George and the 48th AL
Reenactment Unit.
John and James
are living historians and were responsible for planning and conducting a
Confederate Memorial Service for Seaborn and three of his Peace brothers in law
at Littlejohn Cemetery, near Piedmont, AL on July 4, 1997. Our family is
grateful for the work they do to keep alive the memory of the brave soldiers of
the Old South. Pictures to come soon!
We have collected family photographs for our line of Sextons
