@Margaret Ann James

This profile has no curator assigned and only one manager, so I thought it best to ask for a curator.

I was recently asked about the parents connected to this Margaret Ann Sartor Blackwell James via a message to me on Ancestry.. I haven't found any personal connection to her but she's from the area of Mississippi I grew up in and has a lot of same surnames of some of my direct and cousin lines, so I'm sure we're related 'somehow'.

But my question is about all the surnames attached to her. On Ancestry her maiden name shows as Sartor in this tree:

Robin James Family Tree
Owner: Robin Boudwin

It shows (wish I could do a screenshot to attach):

Family Info
Father
Jefferson "Jeffery" Thomas Sartor CSA (–1862)
Mother
Elizabeth "Laby" Judge (1844–1915)
Spouse
Solomon "Phillip" James (1854–1930)

Family Search lists her as: Margaret Ann Sartor Blackwell and no parents listed.
1861-1940

So I 'think' she was born a Sartor and that those parents are correct and maybe the confusion is she married both a James and a Blackwell, since none of them are even for sure related to me, just a theory they are, I really haven't dug into their lines more at this point.

In any case, there are no sources or documentation in her profile regarding her parents. Sartor is always listed right after her first and middle names, indicating that's her maiden name, which would make the Ancestry connections correct but I haven't seen any real confirmation either way.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I forgot to mention, whether her father is Sartor or Blackwell, she is attached to the same mother but none of the profiles show that her mother was married to both men. In fact, her Geni profile shows she was married to two different Blackwell men. But the confusion may be that perhaps she was also married to Jefferson Thomas Sartor and that's why Margaret's maiden name appears to be Sartor. Maybe Blackwell adopted her or was her stepfather and that's why she's also associated with that name Just guesses.

Elizabeth "Laby" Judge
