  • Notes 
    • I had originally thought Martha’s parents were Willliam J. Meyers and Francis Ella Campbell, but the death cert for Lucretia has different names, so those people were deleted. Some of the citations I have left due to Marthas name being on them, so in case they are relatives...

      Kyan-
      Thanks for the notification regarding the change you made based on Martha Lucretia Myers Thomas Cunningham's death certificate. I am concerned that some of the information provided by Maude Thomas for the death certificate was inaccurate and/or incomplete. I am confident that Martha Lucretia Myers was the daughter of William J. Myers and Francis E. Campbell (or possibly Gordon?). We have a consistent record of this family from 1850 forward. According to the death certificate, Maude didn't know her grandmother's given name or place of birth. I think it is possible she was mistaken about her grandfather's given name or that it was recorded inaccurately. I have not been able to find any evidence or documentation of a David Myers born in South Carolina with a daughter of the appropriate age named Martha Lucretia or M.L. or Mattie. I would not be comfortable making a change based solely on that death certificate. I am open to any new information we can explore/research for this line. Regards, Gilda [2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
