Was wondering if anyone knew who Martha's parents were. I know they fit into our Whisman's somewhere. My great-grandmother, who was a Whisman--married DAvid B. Rose--had a sister named Martha Whisman, but I know this is not the right one because she did not marry a Spencer. She and her family moved to Stillwater OK and she died and was buried there. Any help appreciated. Bess
