Her birthplace probably Mercer county, Virginia - this is not included in the current county choices, as Mercer county Virginia is now West Virginia.
Her children were 11 in number.
At least two died as children.
- - as of 2013, no record of death for her, or for her mother.
Her marriage to Eli Shrewsbury is recorded in WV records.
She is noted in Bailey histories to have been buried at Rock.* The date of 1935 is from Vol. I of Richard Bailey, by Mary Ellen Howe. I assume the date is from a family member or bible.
Some records have the name spelled as Martella - the ones where Eli was the informant have "Telie" or "Tealia".
Birth and marriage entries for children have "Eli or EB and M or MF".
- - -
Eli's death record gives Mt. Olive as the burial place, family records say Rock. Others of their family have Mt. Olivet on their death records.
