Bio
Martha Ann Rodgers was born in Texas, August, 1853 to James W Rodgers and Nancy M Coplin (mother undocumented). Her father and stepmother and probably her mother, along with several siblings and other relatives are buried in Old Union Cemetery, Bowie County, Texas. There the name is spelled "Rogers", without a "D" although every historical document on any of these people does have Rodgers spelled with a "D". Martha married a Mr. Shaw in Bowie County, Texas sometime after the 1870 US Census. We think it was Charles Shaw who was an older widowed man with several children. Martha Rodgers and Mr. Shaw had two girls born in Bowie County, Texas, Susan Payne Shaw, born 12-31-1872 (FAG# 5651589) and Mary Shaw, born 8-8 1875 (FAG# 20899511) After Mr. Shaw died, late 1870's, Martha married John Berry Whittle in Bowie County, Texas. He also was widowed with several children. Martha and John Whittle had four surviving children, all born in Bowie County, Texas. Mark Whittle, son, born Jan. 1881; Maxie N Whittle, dau, born July 29, 1885; Lou Onie Whittle, dau, born Feb. 1888 and Benjamin Buel Whittle, son, born May 28, 1893. She was located in the 1910 US Census in Jefferson County, Oklahoma with her son Buel B Whittle, under the name, Martha A "Philips" living with her step-son and family. In June, 1917, she was living with her son Buel and his wife in Talala, Rogers Co. OK. according to his WW I Registration. There is a letter from her grandaughter, Myrtle May, stating that Martha died there after falling and breaking a hip. The original cemetery records confirm burial location where marker is placed. Any further information would be greatly appreciated.
