Buried in the Old Leverette Cemetery in Anderson....a private family cemetery. She appears to be daughter of John Atkinson deceased by July 29, 1799, Anderson County South Carolina.

This should give you some clues. Steven Livret is on the list of purchasers of the personal property of John Atkinson. The Anderson, SC, Leverett family tradition is that she was the dau of Capt. Thomas Atkinson. The above will record abstract is all I have for the parent(s) of Martha. From my additional research of the Leverett family migration from Virginia to the Carolinas, the Floyds, Wallaces and Satterwhites are from VA. So, you might look in the Virginia counties bordering Lunenburg Co and Amelia Co. Good luck! Charlotte
