[S67728] Cindy Hubbard Headen, See Docs. Descendants of Martin Martin [S160] Correspondence, Cindy Headen. Hey Mary Frances, I hope you are well. Sorry to bother you. I have a distant relative in my Wells line who is quite bothered by the fact that some of the research you did on our Grant line is incorrect on your site. I would be happy to correct it, but I haven't been able to find the information you sent me years ago that allowed me to access and add information to the site. Basically, the woman who married James Robert Grant and was the mother of Betty Grant who married William Palmer in the database is the incorrect woman. If you send me the access information, I will input the correct data. Let me know how you are doing. Haven't heard from you in quite a while. Love, Cindy Betty Grant, her mother was Mary Martin, daughter of Orson Martin. She died while Betty was still an infant and Betty was an only child. Her father never remarried, but did live with a woman for a number of years before his death. Betty was raised by her maternal uncle, Robert Martin. There are Chancery cases in Henry County which verify this.
