Hi Ann,

I feel sure this Martha is my g-grandmother. I know nothing of her family. I have a picture of
Martha when she was young and when she was old. She has dark hair and looks as though she could
be Indian or part. Do you know what Eliza looked like. One of Martha's daughters, Emma Leona,
had deep deep red hair. Thank you for any thoughts.
Julia
