Martha Morris Page

This link shows pictures of Martha Morris that were sent by another researcher who said Martha was an Indian Princess.

There is a picture of Martha with apparently two sons?
One looks very similar to Richard Morris and could possibly be a picture of Garry Morris!!

Email me and let me know what you think!
