FOURTH GENERATION

12. Wyatt Woodruff ADAMS was born on 5 Jul 1821 in , , TN.(8) He died about 1864 in , Sevier, AR. THE EARLIEST RECORD FOR WYATT IS HIS MARRIAGE IN 1844. THE BIRTHDATE IS REC.
IN DAUGHTER'S (FEDDIE ADAMS BARNETT) BIBLE. THE PARENTAGE OF BOTH WYATT AND
MARTHA ARE UNKNOWN. CENSUS RECORDS SHOW BIRTHPLACE FOR WYATT AS TN. AND FOR
MARTHA MISSOURI TERRITORY. He was married to Martha Jane MORE on 8 May 1844 in Monroe, Sevier, AR.

13. Martha Jane MORE was born on 9 Dec 1822 in Missouri Territory.(9) She died after 1861. Martha was reportedly the daughter of a Choctaw Indian chief. She was also
a possible sister of Mary Ann Isabelle Devore who married Walter S. Riley. I
believe the spelling on Wyatt and Martha's marriage record could be wrong, and
that Martha's name was Martha Devore. Children were:

child i. Electa Ann ADAMS was born on 22 Mar 1845 in Monroe, Sevier, AR. There is a marriage record for an Electa ADAMS to John Walker CANDY who was a
cherokee Indian from Okla, but how can I prove it was our Electa? No further
record.
