  • Notes 
    • According to the marriage records of the First Garvagh Presbyterian Church, Garvagh, Co. Londonderry, N. Ireland, obtained from The Genealogy Centre, Heritage Library, 14 Bishop Street, Derry, N. Ireland, BT4869W, in 1850, Martha was a "spinster" living in Ballyagan, Co. Londonderry, N. Ireland. Ballyagan is located in the civil parish of Desertoghill, about one mile to the northeast of the town of Garvagh, Co. Londonderry, N. Ireland.

      According to Janet Houston Rhein, based correspondence in her possession, and supplemented to a degree by the information contained in the material on the William Rathbone, she is almost 100% certain that Martha Wilson, born June 16, 1830, is a sister of Isabella Wilson, born 1815. While there is a purported difference of 15 years in their dates of birth, this would not be unusual for a family with 12 children. Further, she is almost 100% certain that Nancy Wilson, married to Hugh Dunlap, mother of James Wilson Dunlap, is also a sister of Martha and Isabella.

      According to the 1880 census, Martha was born in Ireland (as were her parents) and she kept the house in 1880. According to the obituary in the April 26, 1904 edition of the Pittsburgh Gazette, her funeral was at the residence of her daughter, Martha Young Woodburn, at 912 Florence Ave., Avalon, PA.

      The following obituary was published in the April 26, 1904 edition of the Pittsburgh Daily Post (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania):

      Mrs. Martha W. Young.

      Mrs. Martha Wilson Young, 74 years old, widow of Hugh Young, died yesterday evening at the home of her son-in-law, Robert R. Woodburn, of 912 Florence avenue, Avalon. Mrs. Young was born in Ballyagan, Ireland, in June 1830. She married Mr. Young in 1849 and they came to the United States and to Pittsburg. They reached this city by the old canal across this end of the State. For many years Mrs. Young resided at 119 South Thirteenth street, Southside, but for the past few years she had lived with her daughter in Avalon. Mrs. Young was a member of the Grant Street Reformed Presbyterian Church. She is survived by two daughters and four sons as follows: Mrs. C. M. Webb, Mrs. Woodburn, Hugh, Jr., James, John and Henry Young.
