When Elizabeth "Betsey" Ennis (Innis) Martin was born in 1764 in Amherst, Virginia, her father, John Ennis, was 29 and her mother, Mary Ann Whitlock , was 23. She married Pleasant Martin, a batchelor, on November 23, 1791, in Amherst, Virginia. They had three children in 11 years. She died after 1850 in Henry, Tennessee, having lived a long life of 86 years.
In 1805 John Ennis accompanied by his grown married children and their families trekked to Warren Co., Ky along with Elizabeth and her husband Pleasant Martin. Her daughter Sarah Ann "Sally" Martin first married James Ball Davis by whom she had a son James W. Davis--Davis deserted her and went to Tennessee. Her father went to Tennessee to see Davis and see about getting a divorce for his daughter which did not happen until 1829 and to get Davis to pay the debts he left behind in Warren Co, Ky and for which Pleasant Martin was being sued for as his father-in-law--her father passed away in July or August 1825 in Warren Co., Ky probably from the stress of his daughter's problems and the lawsuit --Sarah married her first cousin John James Edmunds--sometime after the birth of last child (1842), J J and Sarah Edmunds move to Henry Co., Tenn--at sometime her mother Elizabeth Ennis Martin joined them in Henry Co., Tn and she was on the 1850 census with her widowed daughter Sarah Edmunds--do not really know where she is buried but assume it is with her daughter Sarah and John James Edmunds in the Edmunds Cemetery.
