Smith, age 2, as a child of Thomas & Matilda E. Smith. This was an apparent error intended to be Martha Ann Smith, who was born to Thomas & Matilda in 1878 and married in 1897, but whose name was not listed in the 1880 Census.), BR p. 102, Line 28 : www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2656683&Type=Birth. (11) Tyler County Birth Records, Middlebourne, WV. (12) Tyler County Birth Records, Middlebourne, WV, Identified as Martha A. Smith, white female, born alive on May 8 1878 at Camp Mistake, dau of Thomas Smith (resident of Camp Mistake) & Matilda E. Smith. Informant: M. E. Smith, mother. (NOTE 1: Camp Mistake, which is situated on the border between Tyler and Doddridge counties, is more often considered to be a part of Doddridge County.) (NOTE 2: A second record for this birth is on file in Doddridge County. BR p. 99, Line 38, www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2608239&Type=Birth, identifies the child as Martha Ann Smith, white female, born alive on May 8 1878 in Doddridge County, dau of Thomas Smith & Matilda Underwood. Informant: "Aunt, Parents' Family Bible." Since this typewritten ledger entry was clearly made well after the fact, the original handwritten record in Tyler County is considered to have more validity. Both her marriage and death records state her birthplace as Tyler County.) (NOTE 3: This child did not appear by name in the 1880 Census, but was apparently misidentified as her deceased sister Cora, who was stillborn in 1876. Martha A.

Jul 1882, married less than one year, no children. Her husband was not present. In 1910, she was listed as married head of household with four children. Again, her husband was not present.
