Jimmy Belcher jimmy@dbtech.net Hiram's Martha was listed on the 1850 census as still living in Hiram's household-her age 21-. I have not seen any mention of the name "Jane" associated with Martha. Martha was not included in Hiram's household in the 1860 census. Family lore consistently has it that she is buried next to Hiram in his back yard in unmarked graves . Herman and I Have seen the house place and the graves. -----Original Message----- From: Herman D.
