She is not on the 1900 census. There is a divorce for a SM Johnson md to I.B. in the divorces for 1899 but nothing before that. In the marriage index, SM Johnson md Ida B Richardson 3/13/1892; Mrs Lou Hudgins 5/17/1916, then there is an entry for Sam & Martha in 1881. 1900 census in Sam's house, there is Louella b 1862 TN as his wife, they state they have been married 19yrs. That is how long he would have been married if he were still married to Martha. I know the researchers of this family state she died bef 1905, but there is no record of her anywhere after her marriage. It would be more likely she died bef 1885 or 1895. No divorce for her and no remarriage under Trammell or Johnson. Her middle name is Ascenith. I have Mary A. b May 29 1852 died May 2 1880. She married Joseph J. Mauldin/Maulding. I do not know when they married, they are not in the Sevier or LR Co bks. 1880 census, their oldest child is 8, so I would venture to say abt 1880 or 81. It was prob LR Co and the bk was lost. Mary is buried in the Marvin Cem next to her father. There is a Ma Johnson in the cem buried next to John Z Trammell. This could be Martha and should read M A Johnson. Dates are Feb 27 1857-Mar 28 1891. That makes sense because Sam married Ida B in 1892. The father of your Georgia Shelton has been a mystery. What do you know abt him? I know her mother was Carolina Mears and she married a Shelton. We have never been able to solve that one. I have a very strong feeling the Ma Johnson in Marvin is Martha Ascenith Trammell Johnson.
