I have been tracing the Whitham family from Ripley and Jefferson County for a
while. I have gathered quite a bit of information from fellow researchers
and Historical Societies.
I would like to find someone that give me a lead to find Martha Bolin, wife
of James Whitham, b. 1771 in MD (according to his tombstone).
James married Martha Bolin in 1827; after his 1st wife, Anna Foster, died in
1825.
James would have been 56 years old and Martha would have been 18! They went
on to have 4 more children.
James died in Nov. 1854 at the age of 83. Martha was 45 when he died.
What ever happened to Martha???? No one seems to mention her after James died.
Did she re-marry???
And . . . . who were her parents. Census records indicate she was born 1809
in NC.
Hope some good leads turn up on this one!!!!
