I found a couple of pages with MARTHA ALLEN WEST but no one knew where she came from! Not a one of them. All you can do, really, is look up WEST pages and go through the MARTHA'S they have. Tedious, but may be worth the time and effort if you can find her that way. Her children are easily found, if you want to try that way. I will look out for her, it's just one more name to check for... Good Luck!
