In the 1850 census of Hamilton Co., TN there are two listings for Surletha Martin. Now that is not a name we find just every day. My great grandmother, Surletha Ann Martin b. 1828 is listed in the household of Dabney Martin her brother on page477 of Dist. 27. On page 458 in Dist. 27 there is a Fanua Martin b. 1800 and a Serletha Martin b. 1828. Does any one have any info. regarding Fanua and Serletha? Just any suggestions would be helpful. For those that are interested in reading farther: The 1850 Census re: my great grandmother has a strange pattern. Her father and mother were Tavner and Cynthia Martin. For some reason the census taker listed Tavner and Cynthia in one household and their children in the next one. One of those strange flukes of the census. There are several descendants of Tavner and Cynthia that are searching for Tavner's parents. The two had 11 children and most of them were named after Cynthia's family (the Leagues). Surletha is not a League name and we are hoping it is a clue as to Tavner's family. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated by all of us who are stuck as to Tavner's parents.
