Born to Joseph and Phebe McKinster in Ohio. Married Isaac Thompson on Dec 11, 1859 in Elwood, Vermilion County, Illinois.

They are listed as living in Elwood on the 1860 census, then Martha moved with Isaac and their family to Osage, Crawford County, Kansas where they are listed on the 1870 census, then to Dexter, Cowley County, Kansas where they are listed on the 1880 census. It is mentioned in a newspaper that Isacc Thompson's barn caught fire from an ember from a passing Santa Fe locomotive in Oct 1893. The next we see them is on the 1900 census where they moved to their farm in the small community of Rossville, North Wichita Township, near Meeker, in Lincoln County, Oklahoma sometime between 1893 and 1900. Martha and Isaac lived the remainder of their lives on the farm there.

Martha and Isaac had 6 children: Joseph "Marion", Jesse McClelland "Mack", Phebe May (married Perry Fullerlove), Melissa "Jennie" (married unknown), George O., and Ella Elizabeth (married George Alsip).

Martha and Isaac are my great-great-grandparents, and Joseph Marion is my great-grandfather. 

Although there is no gravestone at this cemetery to commemorate Isaac and Martha, the couple who kept the cemetery list for this cemetery in 2002 told me they are listed as being buried in this cemetery.
