    In the 1900 census, Martha's husband William is reproted born in West Virginia, but we know from family sources he was born in Yancey County, North Carolina.  The 1910 and 1920 census correclty reprot his birth state as North carolina.  I have not transcribed them here.

    Several genealogies report that Martha died in Walter Reed Hospital, but provide no documentation.
