Several of you will be almost as relieved as I am to know that I have found
the name of Martha Jane (Mattie) CALDWELL (who married William B. SPARKS in
1870, Hopkins County, TX). Mattie's death record lists her mother as Ruth
GREENWOOD and her father as ???? CALDWELL. This leads me to speculate that
perhaps her mother remarried after her father's death. If so, I do not know
her mother's 2nd husband's name. Does anyone have GREENWOODs with their
CALDWELLs? According to the 1900 census, Martha Jane's mother and father
were born in Alabama.
I noticed in the archives that there was the following query from 1997
that did combine the two surnames- does this ring a bell for anyone?
