Life

Martha Dollin Willingham is known only from the FamilySearch tree, which attaches no source to her.1 It names her as a daughter of Alban W. Willingham and Bedia Herring, born in Georgia on 15 June 1824, and gives her death in Georgia on 17 October 1916.1 The tree gives no marriage or children for her.1 Her sister Martha Holland Willingham has the same birth date in the tree, 15 June 1824, and is well documented: she married Harris McKinney in Chambers County, Alabama, in 1844 and died in Coosa County in 1913.2 Inference Two daughters of the same name born on the same day are unlikely, and "Dollin" reads like a misreading of "Holland", so this profile probably duplicates Martha Holland Willingham; the 1916 death date would then belong to someone else or be an error.3
