Martha Jane "Mattie" Mc Laury was the daughter of Walter T. McLaury and his wife Caroline "Carrie" Marvin McLaury. From research it appears that Martha Jane's mother, Caroline, died during childbirth in 1869 while Martha was small and that Caroline Marvin McLaury's widowed mother, Frances Cromwell Marvin lived with her son-in-law, Walter T. McLaury and his daughters and helped to raise the girls - Martha Jane "Mattie"; and her sister, Fannie Maria McLaury who became the wife of William R. Turnbull.

On 14 Nov 1914 in Delhi, New York, Martha Jane McLaury married Clifford A. Whispell who is buried in the same cemetery as evidenced by his obituary in the Oneonta Star Newspaper of 28 Mar 1962. That obituary for Clifford A. Whispell states that a nephew, Mr. Walter Whispell of Saugerties, NY is his only survivor. Thus, though unsubstantiated, it appears that Martha Jane McLaury Whispell and Clifford A. Whispell had no children.
