    Notes:

    Wife of Preacher Henry Martin. Birth date is Old Style.

    "In the Weaverland cemetery record, George Sauder was mistaken when he said Henry's wife was Mary Frankfort. He had the right dates (1745-1813) but the wrong surname. That error is repeated in secondary sources and expanded to give her a fictitious name (Anna Mary) and dates. It should be disregarded." -----from Romaine Stauffer
