Who is Martha Lord, born 1830, died 1872 in Athens, Georgia? She married Charles Bishop Hunt on November 26, 1846 in Athens. She and Charles (possibly her school teacher?) had the following children:
William Henry Hunt (named after paternal grandfather) 1847,
Elizabeth Hunt (possibly died infancy) 1849
Roberta Rebecca Hunt 1850
Charles Stewart Hunt 1853
George V. B. Hunt 1857
Martha N. (Mattie) Hunt 1860
Fredericka Allena (Lena) 1867
The family lived in the Buncombe and Sandy Creek Districts of Clarke County. Charles was a school teacher.
We were under the impression that Martha was the daughter of Thomas Lord and Araminthia Whitehead, married 1813 in Athens, Georgia. Araminthia Whitehead was sent to Athens to school and found a husband there. We had been told that they sent their daughter to Athens to live and go to school. Araminthia had two cousins at the University of Georgia at the time, along with various other Whitehead relatives.
When I started looking at census records, none of the family lists of Thomas and Araminthia match up. Here's what we've found on the Internet family sites:
Wooten Lord 1814 GA: (no proof found yet)
Sina Lord 1818 GA or 1829 AL: (matches 1830 census ages)
Mary Lord 1820 AL: on 1850 census
Thomas Lord 1823 AL: on 1850 census
Vining Lord 1824 AL: (matches 1830 census ages)
Lina Lord 1824/5 AL: on 1850 census
William Lord 1827 AL (no proof)
Emily or Emilia Lord 1828 AL: on 1850 census
Millie Lord 1828/9 (no proof)
Martha Lord 1830 AL (no proof)
Nancy Lord 1833 AL: on 1850 census
Stephen Douglas Lord 1835 AL: on 1850 census
There is another Lord family in Athens, Georgia, in 1850, but they have their own Martha, aged 21. Our Martha was already listed with her husband Charles and William and Elizabeth.
Who was she? Where does she belong? The surrounding counties (Jackson, Madison, Oglethorpe) all have Lord families, but she doesn't fit in age-wise, and two families have their own Marthas.
I would greatly appreciate any help.
