sage mist
I am looking for / I need help with:
- What is her maiden name?
- Who are her parents?
- When and where was she born?
**Name: **Martha (possibly Montgomery or Busey?)
**Sex: **F
**Date of Birth: **abt 1818
**Location of Birth: **possibly Cecil County, Maryland
**Spouse 1 Name: **Henry Wolf
Date of Marriage: abt 1836?
**Location of Marriage: **Likely York, Pa
Spouse 2 Name: William Coble
Date of Marriage: between 1860-1870
Location of Marriage: Likely York, Pa
Date of Death: 11 May 1895
**Location of Death: **York, York, Pa
**Other Information: **She and Henry Wolf had eight known children together between 1837 and 1853. I only have death certificates for two of them. One lists Martha’s surname as Montgomery and one lists it as Busey.
Her children were all born in York, Pa and those who lived to adulthood all moved to Franklin, Kentucky between 1870 and 1880, though one of them dips into Vernon, Missouri for a few years (William and Martha go with her).
I’m happy to do the actual work, I’d just love some suggestions about where to look.
My first step has been to try to follow some of her kids forward in time, and I'm a bit stumped by some of them. William has a really common name and isn't in York, Ky or Mo in 1880 that I can see. FG thinks that Anna dies in 1888 but the uploaded gravestone doesn't seem to be her and I just haven't been able to find Frederick Nathaniel around. A bunch of the research previously done on this family seems sketchy.
This was touched upon in the 2024 bw competition and I did some DNA work but wasn't able to find much.
