Never married. Daughter of John Overton and Susannah Masaba Hagler Overton.
Mother of James Madison Overton, whose father John Henry Hill you can read about in my description below. This information is important to you if you are researching OVERTONs or HILLs.

Researching OVERTONS or HILLS, MUST Read
*If you are an OVERTON or researching OVERTONS or HILLS you will want to know this information: John Henry HILL, though very much a part of this HILL family, has been excluded from any possibility of being in the HILL bloodline by DNA testing through the HILL family.
It is believed, due to family stories handed down through the HILL family for generations, that he and a brother were adopted and never told. DNA results now lend credence to this. The two brothers were dark and possibly of Native American or African American heritage or both.
If you are researching paternal OVERTON or HILL bloodlines this will be of importance to you; if you just want to know who was "in" the OVERTON family or HILL family, John Henry HILL must be included. This same John Henry HILL had a relationship outside of his marriage to Martha Ann OVERTON HILL, this relationship was with Martha's sister, Margret Amanda E OVERTON, who was unmarried.
As a result of this relationship Margret became pregnant and bore a son, James Madison OVERTON. It is unlikely that James M OVERTON ever knew his father was John Henry HILL, since Margret was single and gave James her own surname, OVERTON. Such things were seldom spoken of, even in whispers. Margaret Amanda OVERTON went by her maiden name all her life.
The 1860 Census shows Margret and her child and from then forward, censuses show her living continually next door to John Henry HILL - when one family moved, the other did as well. The child James M. OVERTON was born in 1855 when Margret Amanda was 19 years old and at the time John Henry HILL and Martha Ann OVERTON HILL had been married for a long time. Martha Ann OVERTON HILL was 9 years older than her sister Margret Amanda OVERTON.
It has been proven through DNA testing (done myself) that James M OVERTON was of the bloodline named HILL, an ironic twist considering that DNA testing done by the HILLs excludes any possibility that John Henry HILL himself could be a biological HILL. Thus, James M OVERTON is an OVERTON only by his mother's own OVERTON bloodline, but he was fathered by John Henry HILL - whose HILL family encountered the same DNA conundrum I did.
James M OVERTON's, and his descendants' paternal bloodline shows zero OVERTON DNA. Research is currently being done to discover who the biological father of John Henry HILL is, if it is possible to do so, and thereby learn the paternal bloodline of James M OVERTON. A CARVER line has shown promising DNA connections to both this line of HILL and this line of OVERTON.
UPDATE April 2012: The information above has continued to be borne out by subsequent findings on the OVERTONS and HILLS. The CARVER line also is still definitely in the DNA mix and is probably the answer to who is John Henry HILL's father.
