Martha told a story of walking from Chatanooga, Hamilton County, Tennesse to Indiana, with her mother, sister, and 3 brothers, leading a cow on a rope to get away from the Civil War. Sent by Mary Petro Williams

Sarah was recognized as part of the family. But Julia was never mentioned, I could find no further information on her. I think that she probably died in childbirth. I could find no further records on her. She is listed in Howard County, Indiana Records as Sarah's mother. It was just assumed that Martha was her mother. Another secret kept so well that no one living knew it. By June Taylor Castorena
