"Martha Charlotte Metcalf born January 24, 1842, was the daughter of a farmer at Chismville. The log house built by her father still stands today on the farm belonging to Bergie Metcalf. The Metcalfs were slave holders. According to family stories, Martha Charlotte, when she married, "couldn't do anything, not even boil water." However she raised a family of nine children - William C., Mary L., James Robert, David Moore, Samuel Houston, Laura, Columbus M. (Lum), Ora, and Cora."
