Martha Ann CARTER 1845-1889 Ohio
I believe Linda RUPP and James Carter TINSLEY were my maternal grandmother's parents. Belinda's parents were John Franklin RUPP 1835-1817 and Martha Ann CARTER 1845-1889 who lived in Alliance, OHIO. Martha Ann's parents were John CARTER and Mary CRAIG(?), and she had a brother John(?).We have little information on James Tinsley, except that he was claimed to have been a train driver and was the son of a female first cousin of Martha Ann CARTER. Otherwise his origins are unknown to us. Linda was Belinda Luemma 1862-1889 who I understand died in childbirth in 1889 (presumably the child died as well). Her siblings were Mary Ida 1860-1944, John Henry 1865-1931?, Margaret Lorena 1859-1928?, Maude Ursula 1873-1944, Bertha Amela 1874-1930, and Alice Viola 1883-1928. My grandmother was Willa Murl 1886-1959, she married Earl Edward CRISP 1884-1956, design engineer, in Hillsdale, MI.
