Martha Horn McManus was the daughter of Sarah Ellenberg Horn. Martha's death certificate records her father as Samuel Horn. I personally believe that is likely in error and that her father was Luke Horn.
Martha is of German descent. She married Samuel McManus on Nov 2, 1856 and they lived in Edgefield County, SC.
Martha's youngest son, Billy McManus, was the informant for Martha's death certificate and Billy lists his mother's father as Samuel Horn. However, my genealogical research has proven this to be very unlikely.
Martha Ann McManus' children were all very young when her husband Samuel McManus enlisted in the Confederate Army in South Carolina. Samuel McManus never returned home from the Civil War and his family presumed him dead. Martha never remarried and raised her children by herself. Martha McManus made a living for her children by weaving on an old fashion Spinning Wheel and by knitting socks and gloves.
A few years before Martha died, she learned that her husband, Samuel McManus, did not die in the war and that he had lived out the rest of his life in Kansas City, Missouri. The exact details behind Samuel's decision to stay in Missouri after the war is unclear. He did marry a woman in Missouri and they had children together. Samuel's family in Missouri wrote a letter to Martha and told her all about Samuel's life in Missouri before he died.
Martha got her right eye put out splitting wood to bake a cake for her son, Billie. It was Billie's birthday and it was Friday the 13th.
Cemetery Note: Martha McManus' Grave is sort of off by itself way down in the back of the cemetery.

Bio Note: The bio was written from notes obtained from the Martha Horn McManus Genealogy Notebook which was composed many years ago by the family of Lonnie Maxie McManus.
