Biography

It's relatively easy to verify Martin Honaker was married to Betsey Hess. In Russell County Virginia Death Records, Jack Hockett of Collegeville, PA, recorded the death of Jacob Honaker, white male, widower, no DOB, 84 y, d. 06 Mch 1932, s/o Martin Honaker & Betsy Hess in the New Garden area.

Betsey may also have been referred to as Betty. See this reference, where the hiring of a slave for Betty is mentioned in the settling of Martin's estate:
