Mary & Rick...... When I read Mary's reply that based on the 1865 birthdate for Martha Elizabeth our Henry & Lucinda could not have been her parents as I tended to agree as I, too, did not have her listed as their child. After doing some digging tonight, I'm not 100% convinced either way!!! I found George R. & Martha in the 1900, 1910, 1920, & 1930 Census records and it seems their birthdates were never the same! (Martha goes from being 4 yrs younger than George to 10 years younger! LOL). The following is based on their ages given at the time of each census.... CENSUS GEORGE MARTHA 1900 02/1852 10/1856 1910 1861 1865 1920 1858 1868 1930 1862 1872 Now my problem is that I only have one Martha or Elizabeth or Martha Elizabeth in my database that I do not already have a spouse listed & had no luck searching the census records for any of the above names as a minor child listed in her parent's household in Smith or Macon Counties. This one Martha that I do not have a spouse listed was b 1867 to Samuel & Mary 'Polly' Boston, but the question becomes, 'Why would she say she was b. in 1856 for the 1900 Census?' .....so I doubt this is the correct one. The only other possibility that I found was on the 1880 Sumner County Census..... Elizabeth Jenkins (17), daughter of Esley (47) & LUCINDA Jenkins (35). I do not have these Jenkins folks in my database. Sorry I'm not much help!! Still Diggin.... Gary J
