I am looking for descendants of MARTHA HOLDEN and of GEORGE W. ODOM from Milam County. I think that Martha Holden is buried at the BRYANT STATION cemetery in Milam County. I am a descendant of the JOHNSON and FORTENBERRY families of Milam County. You won't necessarily see the name FORTENBERRY in this area that I know of unless it is from my GG Grandmother CECILA ANN FORTENBERRY MILLER JOHNSON'S brothers who might have lived there at one time. But the Fortenberry sisters married names were: MARY JANE MANN JOHNSON, REBECCA BUTLER, CECILA ANN MILLER JOHNSON and MARTHA HOLDEN. I have not found records in childhood of Martha Holden being my Cecila Ann's sister but from testimony of my paternal grandmother and both of her siblings, they were real close in growing up with Martha Holden whom they said was their grandmother's sister and to her daughter, Callie and her husband, George W. Odom. There are descendants from Mary Jane Mann Johnson, Rebecca Butler and myself representing Cecila Ann working together along with my Johnson family on this family. As it turns out, Mary Jane Mann married my GG Grandfather's brother, ARCHIE JOHNSON after her first husband, William T. Mann died and they lived in Milam County. They had a son named WILLIAM or WILLIE JOHNSON, William Edward Johnson, I believe it was. Evidently Mary Jane died before he was grown and he went to live with relatives and his Daddy, Archie Johnson moved away. I would love to hear from any of the descendants of any of this family. I have the names of Martha Holden's children through census records in Milam County and they are as follows: 1. Mattie Holden born Jan. 1855 in Louisana and married a Griffin. 2. William Holden born abt. 1854 in Louisana. 3. James T. Holden born abt. 1858-1860 in Arkansas and I think is buried at Bryant Station Cemetery. 4. Susan J. Holden born June 1, 1861 in Arkansas and died Oct. 8, 1880, I think and think she is also buried at Bryant Station. 5. Johnt T. Holden born Aug. 2, 1863 --1865 in Arkansas and died Sept.9, 1896 and I think he is also buried at Bryant Station. 6. Callie D. Holden born March 1866 in Arkansas and married to George W. Odom and is buried at the Oak Hill Cemetery in Cameron, Texas in Milam Co. I sure would love to hear from any of the descendants of any of these people and exchange information with you. My GG Grandparents were Cecila Ann Fortenberry Miller [She was formally married to Harvey B. Miller] Johnson and Redden H. Johnson. Thanks, Jane Little McEndree janemc@airmail.net
