Martha Kelly {Thompson}

maybe born 1813, from grave transcription. age seems too young on 1850 census, right on 1860. Not totally certain of her maiden name, but the obituary for her daughter Alta E. Vincent lists her as Martha Kelley/Keller Thompson. The 10 Jan 1894 Mexico Independent reads: The funeral service of Mrs. Lewis Tubbs was held at her late home on Dusday last, that of Mrs. Thompson (mother of Mrs. J. Wright) on Thursday, and... Elsewhere on the same page: The mortal remains of Mrs. James Thompson, an old and esteemed resident of this place, were brought here for burial one day last week. In another version of her daughter's obituary, her name is listed as Kelley. it says: Mrs. Vincent was born in Daysville, August 25, 1854, a daughter of James and Martha Kelley Thompson. Her father was born in Eng- land, her mother in Ireland. In coming to this country the mother, then a little girl was the victim of a shipwreck off the coast of Cape Cod. She was saved but her parents, with whom she was traveling were drowned. It was in Canada that Martha Kelley met James Camp- bell (sic) and married him. notice that the obit lists their name as Thompson, but also as Campbell.
