Update May 5, 2009. Since my original post I have found that Martha who may or may not have the maiden name of LUST was a thrice married woman.

I recently discovered the gg grandmother I have been chasing as Martha LUST was married to ? DAVIS prior to marrying William Wade PATTERSON/PATTISON, with a final marriage to ? STRICKLAND.

With Mr. DAVIS she had one child James Franklin DAVIS b. abt 1863 in MS. By Jan 1865 she is married to William Wade PATTERSON--marriage records show WW PATTISON and Martha E. Davis, they had one child William Lee PATTERSON b. 1867 in TX. The 1880 census shows she has married once again to ? STRICKLAND, now mother of Minnie A. STRICKLAND (md. a DUNLOP), and 3 month old twins Theodore and Theodosia STRICKLAND. Later census records show two HOLMON grandchildren.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can you match Martha up to a LUST in your files? Thanks, Jan who just made this discovery after 20 years of beating her head against this LUST brick wall in OK
