I am still trying to find information about my Luther D Martin b. 1809 married to Rutha b. 1811. They migrated to Mississippi, Union County Arkansas, on to Freestone Texas. I lose most of the family during the Civil War. My Eliza Martin (their daughter) was a very tiny woman. This must be a family trait of the group. Eliza married a Mayberry and then married my gg grandfather James Strickland. She died abt 1871/1872 in Texas. Burial is unknown. I need to know what happened to her parents and siblings. One of her brother's L D Martin married a woman by the name of Berry in Freestone. She had a brother by the name of William. Her daughter grew up with cousins Joe and George Martin. There is also suppose to be a Jane Martin possibly a sister to Eliza. Any other information would be greatly appreciated. Sharon Fite Holland Edmond, Oklahoma
