MATILDA BROWN MARTIN
Matilda Brown was born October 16, 1817 in Washington County, Tennessee to "Redheaded" John Brown and Nancy Smith Brown. Matilda died March 10, 1883 and was buried in the Hunt-Martin Cemetery a private family cemetery of the Samuel M Hunt and Henry A Martin families. Matilda married Henry A Martin November 30, 1837 in Washington Co., Tennessee. Eleven children were born to them

After Matilda's death Henry A Martin marries Matilda's niece Mary J. Brown and one daughter is born to them 1888 ; Elberta Demetria Martin. Henry and Mary are deceased by 1890 so James Franklin Martin raises "Bertie" as one of his children. Henry and Matilda are buried in the Hunt-Martin Family Cemetery so I wonder if Mary J Brown Martin may be buried there as well?
