Martha was married to Benjamin Atchley 1. They were the parents of 12 children: Louisa, Mahala, Joshua H., John Chambers, Mary 'Polly,' Isaac Marion, Benjamin 11, McCage Rogers, James, Thomas Daniel, and Malissa.
Martha was part Cherokee Indian, as her mother, Elizabeth 'Daugherty' Chambers. This information is stated in a document that Patsy's daughter, Mahala 'Atchley' Long, had it written and notorized for the family. Mahala herself, stating she was 1/4 Cherokee. Family members have copies of this document, one member has the original.
Recent documents uncovered prove she was still alive in November of 1876 and beyond, so previous info indicating she died in October of 1875 is incorrect. Descendant Phyllis Rhodes is still researching for a death date for Martha.
