Major Sartin was the first born son of John Sartin, Jr. and Margaret Barnes Sartin. He was born on the same place where his father first lived after his marriage and resided on Magee's Creek until his death. Luke Conerly sat on the front porch of Major Sartin's home one day, and interviewed him for an article he later published in the Magnolia Gazette in 1902. Mr. Connerly described Major Sartin as "a courageous figure in the biographical and church history of Pike County, ripe in years, with an unblemished character, full of honors as a man, a father, a neighbor, and life long member of the Methodist Church. He stands high up in the scale of the best of its young people, a shining light to be emulated by the youth of coming years."
