She is the daughter of Jesse Augustus Maxwell (January 7, 1872 - June 9, 1897) and Mamie Gaines (1878 – ??) who were married December 24, 1896 in Elbert County, Georgia. She is the half-sister of my grandmother, Janie Rilla (Mewborn) Norman. On April 15, 1900 Mamie Gaines Maxwell married Thomas Hamilton Mewborn (September 1860 – March 1910). Augusta Maxwell is listed as “step-daughter” in the 1900 Census of Elbert County in the home of Thomas and Mamie. After Jesse Augustus Maxwell’s death in 1897 and after the death of Sarah Jane Cunningham (November 4, 1858 – April 8, 1898), Thomas Hamilton Mewborn’s first wife, (married November 13, 1879 in Elbert County, Georgia), Mamie Gaines Maxwell married Thomas Hamilton Mewborn on April 15, 1900. Children to Thomas Hamilton Mewborn and Mamie Gaines Maxwell Mewborn were Janie Rilla Mewborn, Estelle Cassie Mewborn, and Otto Mewborn. Both Thomas and Mamie died early in these children’s lives after a homesteading attempt in Texas. Thomas Hamilton Mewborn is buried at Hillcrest Cemetery along with his first wife Sarah Jane Cunningham. My family to this day does not know where Mamie Gaines is buried. However, at Hillcrest Cemetery there is a Mamie G. Mewborn buried and in the Elbert County GenWeb site combined cemetery listing has this Mamie G. Mewborn listed as the daughter of Thomas H. Mewborn and Sarah Jane Campbell (probably should be Cunningham) Mewborn. Perhaps Mamie G. Mewborn is listed as “daughter” due to her being many years younger than Thomas H. Mewborn. More research required. Thomas Hamilton Mewborn and Sarah Jane Cunningham had several children during their marriage.
