Hi Lynn, In the cemetery book there is a Martha G Smarr w/o R.R. Smarr b Jan 24, 1821 d Apr 21, 1883 buried at the White Plains Baptist Church cemetery. She is buried beside R.R. Smarr b. Aug 25, 1796 d Sept 7, 1847 I can go back to the library one day next week, hopefully, and look for her obit. It appears that RR was 25 years old when Martha was born. He may have been about 45 when they married and Martha about 20. RR only lived 6 years after they were married. Apparently she never remarried even though she would have been about 26 when he died. Interesting! Do you know where Martha and R.R. may have been married?

Lynn, Since Martha may have been living in Spalding County at the time of her death, her obit may be in an old Spalding paper or have you looked there already? I have found that a lot of the death announcements were for men but not many women, that far back. My gg grandmother died in Atlanta in 1918 and I haven't found a death announcement for her, but there is one for my gg grandfather. He died just about 2 months after she did. If you would like for me to look in the records in Spalding Co, let me know. I plan to spend a day at the probate court office during the Christmas holidays (since I'll have a week off) as there are other things I want to look up on my family. Let me know. In the meantime, I'll look in the 1883 editions in Fayette Co.
