Searching for information on Sarah Effie Oxley,Born 1843 to Everett Oxley and nancy Ellen Smalley,vermillion,Ill.Effie at one time was married to Thomas J.Boyce,then to John perkins.Ann
Hi Annlibear,
Are you talking about Sarah Effie (or Effie Sarah) Oxley, b. 1873, dau of Everett Oxley, b. 1843 Vermillion Co., Ill ?
Kacy Davis has an online tree for that specific line. Her email is
Her information apparently came from:
George M. McKee’s “Descendants of Henry Oxley” (and Mary Everitt). His email is (or was)
george.m.mckee@lrdor.usace.army.mil
They came out of Burlington Co., NJ; with descendants going to Louden Co., Va; to Clinton Co., Oh (1808); to Vermillion Co., Ill; to Williamson Co., Tx.

Hi Bill,thanks so much.It is Effie Sarah.She at one time was married to a Boyce,and then somewhere down the line got with John Perkins.Thank you again.Ann
Does anyone know if Effie sarah Oxley had children by her first husband?Or what year she may have died
Annlilbear,
It doesn’t look like it. On the 1910 Mills Co., Tex Census, Justice Pct. 4, p. 2B, 21 April, at 35, 35; she’s been married only once (m1), has been married 17 yrs (married about 1893), has had 10 children and all 10 are still living :
Perkins,
John T., 37, m1, 17, Tx, Tx, Tx (he, his father & mother were b. Tx)
Sarah E., 37, m1, 17, 10/10, Tx, Tx, Tx.
Everett W., son, 16, Tx
Mary F., dau, 14, Tx
Alfred F., son 13, Tx
Lula E., dau, 11, Tx
Katie R., dau, 9, Tx
Addie G., dau, 6, Tx – twin
Mattie C., dau, 6, Tx – twin
Bessie L., dau, 4, Tx
Jewel, dau, 2, Tx
Edna E., dau, 10 months, Tx.
…………………
The 1880 and 1910 census show her as “Sarah E.” so you may have been correct the first time about the name order.
This is more info on her children than George McKee’s family tree for the Oxleys has for her. McKee has Sarah Effie as b. 7 April 1873 in Williamson Co., Tx and died 12 Feb 1952 in Mills Co., Tx.
Another tree that lists Sarah Effie has her with a dau Grace Margaret Perkins, b. 15 Oct 1915 in Mullin, Mills Co., Tx. I didn’t find them on the 1920 census (nor did McKee) so there may be more children. Maybe she married John T. Perkins first and married Thomas J. Boyce second, I don’t know.
Hope this helps,
Bill
My Joshua Hawkins (1834 or 1837-1892) died in Williamson County, Tx. Census cecords say b. Alabama, and Civil War records say he was in the 8th Arkanss Regiment. we have never discovered who his parents were. There were Joshua Hawkins and Dorcas White in Alabama, in Arkansas, and in Texas (same county), same places we thing we found him — but they never list a son named Joshua with their family.
Dad (1915-1992) said he visited their home when he was a child once near Waco, Tx, (Joshua had already passed away, but dad’s grandma was still alive). She was Mary Elizabeth (Byron, I may have spelling wrong) Hawkins, and she lived to 1923. Dad said she was a big, red-headed woman. He also said there was an old Civil War rifle in the house, and was told his grandpa, had served in the civil war. The only Joshua Hawkins we ever found was in 8th Arkansas tho, and we found none in the Alabama regiments, so we “assume” he was in the Arkansas regiment. We have heard family stories they may have been in Missouri and Arkansas is near by. We are still open to the possibility ours might be a different Joshua Hawkins.
They were in Falls, and Williamson, and Milam Counties near Waco, Texas for several decades. I have never had a reason to bring up my Hawkins ancestors on this forum until now, with the mentioning of Williamson County, Tx.
Anne, didn’t you once bring up some “Brown’s”? Maybe I’m confusin’ you with someone else. Interesting thing, by g-g-grandpa was ALSO in the 8th Arkansas in the Civil War, and he was David B. Brown. In 1904 David’s granddaughter, Loney Richey, married the son of Joshua Hawkins, Noah Allen Hawkins, in the Chickasaw Nation near what is now Duncan, Oklahoma.Loney and Noah are my grandparents. I have thought since both were in the 8th Arkansas in the Civil War, there must be a connection. But this might just be a very improbable coincidence. I really don’t know for sure.

Hi Vance,I have heard Perkins changed there names to Brown awhile back,although I am still looking for that also.I did list Brown awhile back,through my Bell Ancestry.My Bell’s originated from Beaver Co.Pennsylvania,beginning with Isaac Bell.I will keep this information in mind and get back with you if I run across anything.Thank you,
