Martha is a perfect example of information found in Bibles, wills, obituaries, on census images, tombstones, etc. is what the informant perceived. An accurate record is the date of death on a death certificate.

The 1900 census indicates Martha was born Feb 1854. Thank you Scott Moose for correcting me. Her 1935 obit indicates she was 80 years old when she died, making her birth year 1855. This is inaccurate because her sister, Eliza (nee Moose) Stewart's birth date was 23 Sep 1855.

This census indicates Martha was the mother of five children, and four were living. I can only account for three of her children.
