Kevin...Henry Cansler and Rachel White had 15 children. One was named Margaret. When was the Martha you are tracing born. On the tombstone at Oak Grove Cemetery it says Martha Cansler (Henry's 2nd wife) was born 1844. However the date is wrong. My Martha was born 1850. The tombstone says "Consler". That is also wrong. My mother and her sister paid to have the marker and after the mistakes were made the man offered to make another...or they could have that one for half price. They took the half price deal with errors. The Oak Grove Church (Methodist I think)) is on the East side of the Watts Bar Dam. The community was originally called Peakland TN and the old maps show it as such but the name was changed sometime after the dam was built. When on the East side of the dam you are not far from the church and cemetery. The cemetery is a short distance uphill behind the church. Henry and Martha are on the left just as you enter the gate to the cemetery. It has been at least 20 years since I was there. When I have time I will try to find more info but right now I can't put my hands on it.
Let's keep in touch until we find what you are looking for......Eugene
