Poor Martha was orphaned when she was just a baby - both her parents died of yellow fever or cholera the same year she was born (source: The Alonzo Snyder Collection at LSU in Baton Rouge & a letter from Martha's grandfather, Jacob Bieller to Elizabeth Bosworth dated 22 May 1835). Her parents were Joseph Bieller, formerly of Charleston, SC and Margaret "Peggy" Mackey of Mississippi.
Martha and her brother Thomas Calvit Bieller and a sister were raised by their paternal grandfather, Jacob Bieller, in Concordia Parish, LA. She is documented as living there in the 1840 Census.
At the age of 15, on 17 Oct. 1850, she married Robert Crane King of Buckhorn Plantation in Claiborne County, MS at the home of her brother, Thomas Calvit Bieller in Tensas Parish, LA. Thomas was married to Robert Crane King's sister, Clara King. On the marriage record the bride’s name was incorrectly transcribed as "Burns or Bunns" but the groom’s name was correct, as was the name of a family witness.
Martha and Robert had several children together, but their happiness was cut short when Robert, by then Capt. King in the Confederate Army, was killed in fighting outside of Richmond.
Martha did marry again - to F.A.F. Harper. This is documented in a suit filed in the Claiborne County Chancery Court in 1902 "William B. King et Als".
