Individual:
Martha Ellen Ravenscraft was born May 4, 1842 and died March 14, 1929. She was 86 years and 10 months when she passed on. I have one report that says she was born in PA and one that says she was born in Ohio, so one guess is as good as the other. However, the report from Lloyd & Ethel Kelly says she was born in PA. Church of Latter Day Saints says Ohio though and they are also very accurate. Martha's mother name is unknown and her father is listed only as Ravenscraft. According to her death certificate, she died because she was worn out, no disease. She was buried March 16, 1929 in the Claysville cemetery.
Notes for MARTHA ELLEN RAVENSCRAFT (compliments of Lloyd & Ethel Kelley): BIO: This Information was found in the Claysville Recorder: Mrs Martha Toland, widow of the late Solomon Toland,many years a resident of this community of Claysville, died at the home of her son, H.M.Toland of Houston,Pa. at 2:35 on Thursday 14 March 1929 at the age of 87 years old. Funeral services at 2:00 P.M. Saturday,burial in the Claysville Cemetery. She leaves the following children; Mrs Mary Miller of Dormont, Julius Lee Toland of Oakdale, H.M.Toland of Houston, C.L.Toland of Coopertown, Oklahoma, A.C.Toland address unknown. She also leaves 20 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.
Ethel Kelley's Aunt Martha Knestrick, Hershel Tolands daughter (Hershel was one of Solomon and Martha's sons and she lived with him after Solomons death) told them that Martha was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. Aunt Martha Knestrick was told this story by Martha herself; that a group of Indians settled in Good Intent, PA, a small village ( Martha was from this group) in Wash. Co., and in the following year a third of the group went to Ohio, and a third went South into West Virginia. Ethel & Lloyd have tried to trace Martha's parents, but find that when they mention the year 1842, research for the Indians just is not available. Aunt Martha Knestrick also said that Martha was a full-blooded Cherokee and that Martha often told her that.
Another item of interest is that Martha had a daughter, Mary Evaline Donley, born January 25, 1865. This was about 7 years before she married Solomon Toland. Mary Donley married Christopher Miller and her obituary said she was the daughter of Martha Ellen and Solomon Toland. (Solomons daughter? They were not married because Martha was not Christian?? You know how funny people were back then about such nonsense. Was Martha a Christian name and what was her birth/Indian name? Will we ever know? Father is listed only as Ravenscraft, where did this come from?)
