She married Mr. Angell (no given name, birth, or death dates for Mr. Angell are recorded in the Rev. Moody book where the photograph is published) on February 11th, 1858. The couple lived in Huntington for seven years then in Westfield for 27 years before moving to Indian Hollow in 1890. As of 1905, Martha had three sons and two daughters. Moody lists only two of the sons, both born in Westfield - Albert (b. September 21st, 1869) and Charles (b. August 8th, 1875). Moody states that both sons lived with their mother as of 1905 and also that Martha lived on the 'Lyman Miller Place' in 1850. At the time, Martha and her sons kept five cows, two horses, and 28 hens on 100 acres. The house was purchased from William Miller, who had acquired it from his father, William Miller, who had purchased the place in 1762. Moody mentions that 'a townhouse was built in Knightville in 1841 and was burned in 1862.' Unknown as to whose townhouse he refers. Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 54, plate II, #14.
