Sadelle Hampton Watkins was the daughter of James and Alabama (Bama) Hampton.
She was a teacher and seamstress. Every year, her girls had to get linen ready for the fall.
She sewed/embroidered sheets and pajamas. She purchased the family home in Tuscumbia from Bama
and remodeled it. She married a train fireman for the Southern Railway. The Watkins'
were not slaves--they were property owners. The Watkins are buried in Barton cemetery.
The Hamptons are in Leighton.
