I need some help tracking down the source of information for Martha J. Carlile, daughter
of William M. Carlile and Sarah Guthrie.
I found Martha J. Carlile listed with her family on the 1870 Ringgold Co., IA Federal
Census, Jefferson Twp., Mt. Ayr, P 1 (460), (5 Aug 1870), Age 12 born in IA.
I have (from other researchers) her birth date as 1 Jul 1858 and date of death as 18 or 19
Jul 1877.
I was also told that she married William Ross Stover on 3 Feb or 3 Sep of 1875.
I have been unable to find any marriage record for Martha and William Stover, and,
although I found a Martha J. Stover married to William Ross Stover in Wapello Co., Iowa,
Agency Twp. in 1880, I believe that the Martha J. Stover listed there may be Martha J.
Packwood, as there is a marriage record between William R. Stover and Martha J. Packwood
in Wapello County Marriage Book 2 Page 211 2 Jan 1873.
I would greatly appreciate any help in determining the sources of information for
Martha's birth, death, marriage, etc. whether it be a family bible or otherwise.
Thank you very much.
