I'm searching for MARTHA STARNES b. ca 1839 in NC. She married ELI LINKER in 1854 in Cabarrus Co., NC. Eli was killed in the Civil War, and we believe Martha then married Calvin Allman in 1864, but died (probably childbirth) just a year later after which, Calvin married 2) Lydia Starnes (relationship to Martha unknown) 3) Tobitha Page. In my misc. Starnes notes, I have these tombstone inscriptions I'm sharing with you, because a fellow researcher shared them with me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These tombstones were copied in the 1930's, and some of the stones may not be standing today. This gives the name and dates from the stone, the post office (at the time) where the cemetery was located, and the name of the cemetery. Please share with whomever you would like.
