1898 - 1953 (54 years)

Less detail

Generation: 1

Martha Barksdale Powell was born 12 Jul 1898, Yanceyville, Caswell Co., North Carolina; died 7 Feb 1953, Caswell Co., North Carolina; was buried , Community Baptist Church Cemetery, Caswell Co., NC.

Notes:

She was not the first wife of Lea Holt. Obviously, not all
the children of Lea Holt listed in the various census
records were by Martha; however, several of the younger
ones could have been. Also note that the mother of Calvin
Lee Holt is believed to be Sarah Barksdale Powell. For him
to have married a person named Martha Barksdale Powell
raises the possibility of errors being made in ascribing
names to his mother and wife. Caution is advised.
