Martha Stanford Faulk was married to Clark J. Faulk.

Question

Mary died abt 1859 in Henry, AL.  Clark died sometime, we believe, during the Civil War ABT 1864 in Richmond, VA.  They left behind a daughter, Mary Ann Faulk (my gg-grandmother) who was then raised by her Grandmother, Elizabeth Oliff Stanford. Having trouble finding any documentation regarding the deaths of Martha and Clark.

Part of the reason I am so curious is that I noticed, while researching Elizabeth Olliff Standford that several people in her family (adult children) died within a very short time-frame and she was caring for several of her grandchildren.

 (Sorry for such a long-winded question, trying to give as much info as possible)  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry.  I guess I wasn't clear. :(  My fault. I apologize. I have the information regarding the marriage of Martha and Clark and on Martha's family.  Their daughter is my gg-grandmother.  What I cannot find is when Martha died, or how, where she is buried, etc.  The information about Clark being in the military I also have. The site of his burial cannot be found either, owing I guess to the multitudes of soldiers who died in the Richmond campaign.  So sorry for the mix-up.  Some times I forget the KISS rule.  :(  Thank you sooo much for your help.  I do appreciate it very much.

OMG!! I have belonged to Findagrave for quite some time!!!  Haven't been on in some months, he was not there then!  I also didn't put "Pvt" in his name.  :(  Thank you so much for that. It should read Eufala tho, not Enfala.  Oh well, just happy, happy to see it on Findagrave. AYYAYAYAYA :)  Going to add him to my virtual cemeteries.  I will also have a look see for the burials in Henry County, thank you for that link also! You are a jewel. :)

I had also created a memorial for him on Findagrave, with a copy of a portion of war records pertaining to his service.  But the one you found has much more info militarily than I had.  Sorry, just thrilled to find it. :)

Thanks for taking the time to reply Frank Gill, ID: Gill-1291, I have the info on his regiment, etc.. Have never been able to make sure that is HIM.  There was another Clark Faulk in the military at the same time.  I am glad to see that I am on the right track.  No burial site tho, mainly because so many were buried and not properly identified or identified at all.  :)  Thank you very much!  Do you know anything about Martha????

I did not find Martha's death information. Maybe someone with other resources at WikiTree will be able to find it.

---

Frank, I have wondered if she died giving birth.  No mention of any other babies anywhere, so not sure.  Just something that crossed my mind.  Thank you for trying!

---

I thought of that possibility too. It would be good to get that sorted out if possible.

I agree, Frank!  I will keep looking.something has got to be out there somewhere.
