Martha Rigsby Genealogy
Record modified: 2024-10-03
Born: 1845-10-12 Pulaski Co, Missouri USA
Died: 1912-01-28 Hondo, Medina Co, Texas USA
Notes:
I think this is the Martha Jane Rigsby who married in Comanche Co TX 1865-08-18 George Alfred Carver 1848 TX s/o William Richard Carver + Frances Angeline Pettijohn. George + Martha had a son William R Carver who was a notorious outlaw.
If so, she must have moved to TX from Maries Co MO with her uncle Kelly. Her parents both died before 1860, when she and her siblings appear in Maries Co with their grandmother. Kelly is in neighboring Pulaski Co, and moves to Comanche Co TX before 1863. Martha's uncle John was also in Maries Co MO, and moved to Dallas Co TX and then Comanche Co.

She also married in Bexar Co TX 1872-04-16 Walter Scott Causey 1845-06-17 Holmes Co MS d 1918-11-24 Pipe Creek, Bandera Co TX.
Her death certificate shows her last name as Causey, and gives her father as "Hint" Rigsby. It says
she was born in Mays MO. This is the only Martha Jane born in MO around 1845.
buried in Hondo cemetery, Medina Co TX
