Patricia,

I did a little poking around in censuses, and this is a toughie. If you assume, as can often be the case, that the Dec. 1869 birth month/year isn't quite accurate, here's a possibility...

This Martha A Jinkins and Isaac N. Workman were married in Dec of 1866 in Lincoln Co., TN next door to Giles County:

Tennessee State Marriages, 1780-2002
Martha A Jinkins Isaac N Workman 18 Dec 1866 Lincoln Co.

In 1870, the couple was living in Texas, but didn't yet have any children:

1870 United States Federal Census > Texas > Lamar > Beat 2

Isaac N. Workman 23 GA
Martha A. 21 TN

This couple is nowhere to be found in either the 1880 or 1900 census. You can imagine a scenario where if something happened to Isaac, Martha would have returned to Tennessee.

I could not find any other Martha Workman in the 1870 census that fits yours, and also no sign of a Lou Ella, Luella, Ella, Lou Ellen, etc.. Workman that fits.

It's just a possibility.

Jane
