Her parents were William Marsh and Katherine Bonner. Her first husband was "the Reble Wm. Nelson, shot on the Dry Fork Cheat in 1862."[1]
Two of the children listed with her in the 1870 census are listed as Lambert, but are probably her children from her first marriage -- Sarah E., age 13, and Elizabeth, age 11.[2]
