According to a family source, Martha was raped by a hired hand that worked for her husband John around the age of 21. This baby, Minney, may have been the result of that rape - don't know for sure - but she was born when Martha was 21. The family source believes that Minney was born deformed at birth and then died. She is buried at Bow Creek Cemetery, Phillips Co., KS.
