The children I have for Harbert Haynie Harton and the two Appleton girls are Grace Truman Harton m. Voy B. Taff in
Cherokee Co., AL, Newton Ansulum Harton b 19 Feb 1889 in Cherokee Co., AL, m. Ethyl Roberts, Robert Hayne Harton
b 2 April 1892 m 31 Jan `1917 in Cherokee Co to Speer Livingston; Edna Graves Harton b 22 April 1896,m Leroy R.
Roberts; Harold Walker Harton, b 19 Jan 1900 in Cherokee Co., AL, m. Lucille Laney. It looks like Grace may have
been Sarah (Sadie)'s daughter and the others the children of Carrie--but that is just a guess. I am a Harton
researcher and found the info in a history of the Baptist Church in Cherokee County as well as in Mrs. Gudrun's
books on AL, but I can't cite volume and page.
Said to have died as a young girl, just prior to her wedding day
