Life

Martha Sutton Webb was born on 11 February 1811 in Warren County, Georgia, according to the FamilySearch tree, which names her parents as Charles C. Webb (1767–1849) and his second wife, Mary S. Burleson (1777–1827).1 The records of her lifetime give only her initial, Martha S.; the tree lists both Sutton and Saleta as her middle name, and her Find a Grave memorial uses Sutton.2 On 22 February 1831 Martha S. Webb married William H. Howard, a native of Edgefield District, South Carolina, in Jasper County, Georgia, as the Georgia county marriage index records it.3 The tree names five children: George Jefferson (1831–1898), Thomas (born 1833), Elizabeth (born 1835), William Harrison (1838–1879) and Charles Harrison (1840–1906).4 By 1860 the Howards were living in the 1st Ward of the City of Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, where the census lists Martha S. Howard in her husband's household; the census of 1870 again lists her with him, and that of 1880 finds them at Augusta.5 She died on 17 November 1885 and was buried at Augusta, the tree says, without an attached death record.6 Her husband survived her until April 1891, and a newspaper obituary of him, indexed by GenealogyBank, names a "Miss Webb".7 Inference That is probably Martha, named by her maiden name as his late wife, but the obituary itself has not been read.7
