Martha Weathers¹

• Research Note*: There are several databases on RootsWeb which show Allen Roden's wife as Patsy Martha Weathers, b. 1803 in Warren County, KY. That is the correct birth year for this Martha, but the data given in the RootsWeb databases (probably all copied from one of them) does not jive with the census records. It almost looks as if the compiler had put children from several families together. Therefore I am only showing the children I see in the census, and perhaps Martha Roden is not Martha Weathers.
