Martha A Redmon, Alabama 1839
I am looking for information on Martha Ana Redmon daughter of Jacob Redmon and Temperance Curry.She was probably born in Montgomery, Alabama in 1839.
I have her marrying a George Washington Benton sometime before 1870. They have a daughter Catherine together in 1868 and are living in Coffee County, Alabama.
I found census records for her in 1850, 1870, and 1880. I cannot find her in 1860 and suspect she might be married to someone else. She is not with her parents, and is old enough to be married. Her parents moved to the Coffee County, Alabama area about 1855. We find her there in 1870.
There are two children with the last name of Benton on the 1870 census record who might be Martha's (they just assumed the father's surname?) by another marriage. She is several years older than George W Benton(born abt 1848). He is too young to be the father. I would like to find Martha in the 1850 census or find a marriage record for her. I can't find either.
I also have a question about her date of death. I found it listed as 12 Jan 1899 in Old Town Cemetery, in Coffee County, Alabama.I don't think that is right. I think she died at least ten years before that.
A G.W. Benton is listed as dying later that same year. The only problem is he married again either after Martha's death or he would have had to divorced her. There is no evidence of that. George and his second wife have their first child together in 1891.
Neither Martha or George appear in the 1900 census, and George Benton's second wife is listed as a widow.
Any help would be appreciated.
KC
