Note

From Mildred Greenstein, P O Box 544, Alvarado, TX 76009 7/7/96.

Martha Ann's mother, Louisa Gann Broxson, was with Martha at the delivery of baby Charles. Martha died shortly after the birth of the baby in Sept. of 1879. There is a story that says that the doctor told the family that Martha would die and if she did the baby would die shortly because there was no one who could nurse him. Granny Ligon (Louisa) looked the doctor in the eye and firmly declared if she was given charge of the child, she would nurse him. The doctor shook his head and declared that he thought she was a fine woman but she was too old to do that. To everyone's surprise, three days later Louisa's milk came down and she nursed the baby. He lived and thrived.
