Facts and Events
Name Martha Hughes
Gender Female
Birth[1] 6 Apr 1809 Greenbrier, West Virginia, United States
Marriage 16 Feb 1826 to William B. Davis
Death? 27 Mar 1883 New Salem, Harrison, West Virginia, United States

The DAR record gives her birth date as 6 Apr 1809. The 1850 census record has her as 41 years old which gives her an estimated birth date of abt 1809. A timeline of her parent's various locations, based on Jonathan's pension application is available.

(The record of Martha's parents being born in GA is an interesting lead as to Abigail's birth location, but so far, I have not been able to verify this by any other means. And we know her father was NOT born in GA, so perhaps someone gave the enumerator the wrong information??)
