Looking for info on Susanah Howell. She married ?Adams and had daughter Martha Howell Adams. Martha married Valentine Derry Barry in Robertson? spelling, Co about 18199-20. They lived for some time in Perry Co., where Valentine practiced law. Valentine became a judge in Memphis, TN. Martha died about 1850 and Valentine about 1856. They were buried in Winchester Cemetery which was later razed. Most of the graves were moved to Elwood Cemetery, but have not been able to document Valentine or Marthat. Any additional information would be appreciated.
