Biography

^[1] There is conflicting information on her date of birth, different ages on census reports etc. which was not uncommon with her family.

Martha Carpenter married William J. Honea (Widower) after 1862 & before 1866. His 1st wife Mary Bullman Honea had died leaving 9 children..........

This is what I have determined to be Martha & William's children. There was a Lewis listed on the 1870 census & a Jackson Honea on the 1880 census - Lewis Jackson.

What appeared to be Emmett Honea turned out to be Elijah T. Honea.

The 1880 census reports does not include Shadrach their first born. He would have been 13 at that time but was not included in the census. He may have been living with an older brother or sister.

William's & Martha's children:
10. Shadrach Meshach Honea born May 1867 died 8-14-1940 married Bertha S. Perry 2-18-1891 in Madison County Alabama. (Bertha was Margaret's, John's Wife sister)

The 1800 census list these children at home:
11. Lewis Jackson born 1868 12. Samuel M. born 8-30-1869 died 4-7-1943 13. James Willis born 1870 14. Frank born 1872 15. Hugh born 1874 16. Elijah T. Honea 1876
