Two questions: First, please let me know if you disagree that that profile (currently Martha-106) represents the Martha that was his mother.
Second: I'm looking to correct the LNAB for her. Her profile suggests maiden name of Pegram but I have yet to find proof for that. I'm thinking that her LNAB should, therefore, be Unknown.
Let me know if you have evidence for her maiden name.
Thanks!
Cheers, Liz
Edward, son of Edward & Martha Liewis [sic] born 3 Oct 1728
