Susan Ann MARTIN was the oldest daughter of John Thomas MARTIN, Jr. (1781-c.1870) and Jenny (McPHERSON) MARTIN (1800-c.1901). She married Enoch STAFFORD on 12 Sep 1843 in Caldwell Co., KY, by Jonathan C. LANGSTON.
They had a baby daughter, Eliza Jane STAFFORD, on 6 Oct 1846, and it seems that Susan died not long after her baby was born, but the cause is unknown. It was always said that she died of a fever, and that within a few short years Enoch died of the same type of fever. Many small plague-type outbreaks rolled through these regions for decades---malaria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, cholera, smallpox, typhus, yellow fever, milk poisoning, etc.---obviously some were contagious and others were not. But whatever killed Susan, her baby girl ended up being raised by Susan's parents, John and Jenny (McPHERSON) MARTIN.
Susan and her husband Enoch were buried on the land of a neighbor, Daniel Naldy HILL, whose son, William David HILL, would end up marrying Enoch and Susan's only daughter Eliza Jane STAFFORD.
