Their daughter, Merida/Mirida MARTINEZ, was my Great Grandmother. She married Theovide TRAHAN.
Merida/Mirida MARTINEZ and Theovide TRAHAN had at least 8 children born in the years from Dec 26, 1872 through June 14, 1881, the youngest being a set up twins born on June 14, 1881 (my grandfather and his twin brother).It is believed Merida/Mirida died not long after the birth of the twins.
