First wife of Augustus Young Adamson.

Little is actually known about Martha.

It is assumed that she is buried here with her husband and his family. No marker is present on her grave today to document that. Her marriage recorded on 14 Jul 1828 in Henry County, GA and died before Augustus' second marriage in 1844. Based on those dates, her dates would be about 1810 to 1843. Mother of six children.

Assumption: Martha may be a younger sister or niece of Dixon Bowen who (with his father Samuel Harrison Bowen?) migrated from the Carolinas then to Wilkes/Elbert County, GA. Augustus was born in Wilkes County. Then Dixon Bowen and Augustus Adamson came to Henry Co before 1828. There is a Bowen Cemetery in Henry Co, GA.
