Martha was born in London, England in 1852. When she was about four years old, her family moved to the United States, first settling in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and then Erie Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania. Martha married the boy down the road, Charles Waxham. Their farms were within walking distance. My mother was told Martha was a school teacher [I haven't found any records] and that Charles sold school books and that was how they met. Together they had five children. Her husband wasn't much for farming and the farm was repossessed by the County Sheriff November 1891 then he left his wife and children. They moved into town [Erie] and she ran a boarding house to support herself and the children. She passed away in 1909.
