Dave, If Martha Stringfellow Whitaker died in the city of Mobile in 1861-1868 she would almost certainly have been buried at Magnolia Cemetery. The only Whitaker(s) listed in the Magnolia Cemetery book however are as follows: Lot of United Confererate Veterans, Raphael Semmes Camp No. 11, Army - Navy Whitaker, B. A. [no dates are listed for any of these veterans] p. 279 Alice Havard Whitaker Daughter of Benjamin A. & Mary Whitaker Died June 17, 1852 Age 1 yr 17 days p. 306 Of course, if Martha died in Mobile County there are many possibilities since there were numerous small churchyard type cemeteries dotted around. Hope this helps.
