Life

Martha C. Webb was born at Kellyton, Coosa County, Alabama, on 20 July 1879, a daughter of Charles David Webb and Clarrissa Jane Carlisle; the FamilySearch tree gives the date and place without an attached source.1 Her middle name is given as Clara by her Find a Grave memorial, indexed as Martha Clara Webb Batson, and the records generally call her Mattie.2 She was the younger of two daughters in a family that "formerly consisted of eight boys and two girls."3

The federal census of 1880 lists the infant Martha C. Webb in her father's household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) at Soccopatoy, as the census spelled Socapatoy, in Coosa County, and in 1900 Mattie C. Webb was still in her father's household there, in Precinct 3, Socapatoy.4

On 19 June 1902 Mattie Webb married J. O. Batson, John Ocie Batson, in Coosa County; the marriage appears in two Alabama marriage indexes.5 John Ocie Batson was born in Elmore County, Alabama, in 1874, and in 1900 the census had listed him in Precinct 7, Rockford, Coosa County.6 No children of the marriage are recorded.7

Martha Webb Batson died in Tallapoosa County, Alabama, on 14 July 1904, a date the tree gives without an attached source, and was buried at Alexander City in July 1904; memorials are indexed by Find a Grave, as Martha Clara Webb Batson, and by BillionGraves, as "Hattie Webb Batson".8 Inference The BillionGraves form is probably a misreading of Mattie on the stone or in transcription.8 At the family reunion of August 1912 she was remembered as one of "the two daughters, Mrs. Linda Davis and Mrs. Mattie Batson," both by then dead.9
