MATTHEWS, Martha

-
Name MATTHEWS, Martha Birth Abt 1829 Redding, CT [1, 2]
Gender Female Residence Abt 1840 Newtown, CT [1]
Death 16 Feb 1866 Galveston, Texas [3]
Burial 17 Feb 1866 Pottersfield Cemetery, Galveston, Texas [2]
Notes - Martha’s burial record of 1866 states she was buried in Pottersfield cemetery. Of the two Potters Fields in Galveston (Confederate & Black), the date of her death (1866) suggests she was buried in Confederate Pottersfield. After the 1900 hurricane & flood, this cemetery was covered by Oleander Cemetery. If she ever had a headstone, it's unlikely it would still exist, as no family resided in Galveston after her death.
