Martha Battle Norfleet and Isaac Dortch were my gg...grandparents. I'm pretty sure she did not remarry after he died, and if she had she would have been listed as Dortch. I think her brothers moved to Tennessee about the same time she did and would suppose that this Martha (married 1821) was a daughter of one of them.

Cary, Thanks for the reply on my battle with the Battles, I just checked back and found Martha B. and Issac Dortch, the Martha Battle you have is the Aunt of the Martha I am talking about. The Martha you have is the brother of Major James Norfleet, father of the Martha Battle Norfleet that married David Allen in 1821 in Montgomery Co. TN. Like most families there is an overlapping of names. I was looking for David Bushrods Allen's father also David Allen in VA and was in the Rev War, I found over 6 David Allen's in the Rev War from VA. and now I can't find my David. I hope to find copies of the Tennessee Watchman in a book, I am told the marriage was written in there. Thanks again for your help, it is certainly appreciated. Bill Wallace, Radcliff, KY
