She was "named for her two grandmothers," according to a family tradition related by Lina Clare Isanhour. She was a premature baby weighing only three pounds at birth and was carried on a small pillow as an infant.
She was married September 4, 1844 to Wilson Tucker Moreland (M5/1.1), a merchant of Greenville, according to Meriwether County Marriage Book B, page 213. He was killed in a gunfight in front of his store about 1878.
According to Marjorie B. Malloy, a descendant of Newman, Georgia, he was shot by Tobe Turner. Turner was engaged in a pistol fight with another man in the street when a stray bullet from Turner's gun killed him. The Turner trial was a lengthy one, but he was finally acquitted on the murder charge by a technical error in the indictment. Turner later killed Capt. John E. Shuttleworth, was convicted of murder and sentenced to hang. On the day of his scheduled execution Turner's mother was allowed to make a final visit to his cell during which she slipped to him a silk handkerchief. When the sheriff went to the cell to bring Turner out to the gallows erected on the courthouse square, he found that he had already hung himself with the silk handkerchief.
The handkerchief is on file in the Meriwether County Courthouse in a manilla folder inscribed, "Within can be found the fatal handkerchief with which Tobe Turner committed suicide on Friday morning, 18th day of April, 1884, it being the day he was to hang for the murder of Capt. John E. Shuttl......[torn] June 6, 1881."
Martha Hussey (H5/1.9), daughter of John Hussey (H6/1.1) and Barbara Sheffield Hussey (S6/1.1), was born about 1824, according to Lina Clare Isanhour. She was married February 4, 1838, at age 14, to Joel McClendon (M5/1.1), according to "Early Georgia Marriage Roundup." by Joseph T. Maddox.
A daughter (H6/1.2), name unknown, was born to Edward Hussey (H7/1.1)
and Elizabeth Hussey (S7/1.1) during the period of 1755-74. At the
death of her father and the remarriage of her mother she was named administratrix
of the estate of her father. Of this individual nothing more is known.
