Chloe Ann Martin daughter of Henry & Chloe Boswell Martin married Abel Marsh son of Henry Marsh Sr ; Chloe Ann & Abel were married December 3, 1826 in Washington Co., Tennessee -- Both Chloe Ann and Abel were born in Washington Co., Tennessee -- Abel was born May 5, 1807 and died June 14, 1866 in Iowa ; Chloe Anny or Anny as she was called, died 1836 Washington Co., Tennessee. Abel marries soon after Chloe Ann's death to Elizabeth Stansberry of Greeneville, Tennessee.
It is written in Henry Marsh will that he left Ann and Abel Marsh $200.00 -- will dated 1845. The only flaw is the year 1845 was after Chloe Ann Martin Marsh had died in 1836 so was Ann really Elizabeth Ann the second wife? - Source to contactrussbeard!

Many thanks to Al Kajin for the great gravestone photographs from Agency Cemetery in Wapello Co., Iowa ; we can now identify many of Abel Marsh and wives Anny Martin and Elizabeth Stansberry children ; however, not sure that all the sons are buried here maybe just a stone has been placed in the cemetery?
