Biography

Martha (Graham) Coldwell was born in about 1859. According to her marriage certificate, she was the daughter of Edward Graham and Margaret (or Mary) Graham.^[1] She married Leander W. Coldwell in 1890.^[2] Their family lived in Kings, Nova Scotia.^[3][4] She passed away in about 1930.^[5]

Research Notes

• To be the daughter of Davison-114 and Fish-8, her birth date is around 1822 (Fish-8 died in 1825). thus she would be too old to have children born in 1870's. and doubtful a man born in the 1840's would marry a woman over 20 year's older than him. not sure whether to detach from parents or detach from husband. I think there should be two separate Martha Davison's. see the two individuals below.

Update: I have removed the parents for the reasons stated above.
