Martha Elizabeth Castleberry m. Daniel Lewis and had at least 2 children Minerva and Mary Jane Lewis. There is a 3rd child that was born in 1855 about two years before Martha married Daniel and I believe it was a child of Daniel's by a previous marriage. Martha appears on the 1860 census in Coosa Co., AL with Daniel and the two girls Minerva and Mary Jane Lewis. Daniel died from disease while serving in the Confederate Army in Fair Ground hospital # 1, Atlanta, GA, Nov. 3, 1862. Martha filed documents to get the pay due Daniel in 1862 and is not seen again on census reports. There is a Martha Lewis living in GA on the 1870 census but she is with a different Castleberry family. The estate of Abel Lewis, Martha's father in law is revealing since Martha is not the guardian of her children and two different guardians are appointed one for each girl and the third child does not receive form the estate in the final disbursement. I believe Martha and Minerva died and the two living children of Daniel Loveda and Mary Jane were left to receive in the estate. Martha I am sure is in the same cemetery with her parents since her husband was buried in Atlanta.
