Born in Cabell Co WV, married Oct 4 1838 in Cabell Co WV, Rev David M Heath, son of Israel Heath and Elizabeth Blue. Letha died April 27, 1847 in Platte City, MO. Burial location not ascertained, most likely McComas Cemetery. NO HEADSTONE-no record of her being buried here although this is the most likely place she was buried.

They had three children together, all sons:
Elisha Blackburn Heath born Aug 29 1839 died Dec 2 1912 MO
James Kemper Heath born Mar 18 1841 died Apr 7 1915 MO
William Redmond Heath born July 10 1842 died July 14 1910

While the following death notice from The Nashville Christian Advocate lists her parents as 'Elisha and Amy' it is believed she was the daughter of Moses McComas and his wife Lucy Napier. There is an Elisha McComas who married an Annie, but not one who married an Amy that I have found. In CASE someone finds additional information to prove she WAS the daughter of an Elisha and Amy, I am posting this information here and will correct it if you email me.
