Notes for MARY V MARTIN:
Linda Lemmon Mon Oct 19 21:14:43 1998

Mary V. MARTIN b. about 1800 married Joseph HOUSTON (HUGHSTON)who d. April 14, 1832 in Lawrence County Alabama. Mary moved back to Lincoln County, TN with her 5 children where she had married Joseph and lived for a few years before moving to Alabama. She remarried in LCT September 7, 1848 to Thomas H. McGAUGH. According to Thomas's will probated in Lincoln County, he had provided for his first wife, Cathrine, who had preceeded him in death but no mention is made of Mary. Mary McGAUGH is isted as houskeeper age 60 (this would be her age) on the Davidson County 1860 census. There was an asterick beside her name meaning she was not the only one in the household. I would like to know the other occupants of the household and pertinent information. Her father George MARTIN (supposedly a Dr.) died around 1843. According to father's will probated in Lincoln County in 1843, her siblings were: S. George MARTIN, William J. H. MARTIN, Martha J. A. Martin, Celia Ann MARTIN, Robert MARTIN, Elizabeth M. L. MARTIN, & C. K. L. MARTIN who was deceased before his father's will dated Nov. 1840. I would love any information on this branch of Martin family and Mary's date of death and burial place if possible. Thank you.
