The Doshiers and the Youngs, remember Martha's mother was a a Young, had known each other and intermarried before. In fact Martha's aunt, Julia Young had married Richard Pritchard Doshier, who was a brother to Martha's father-in-law. They had also come to Arkansas even before the William F. Mears family. Martha and her husband would join her husband's folks in Arkansas three years before Martha's parents and her siblings would arrive.John Henry Doshier served in both the Mexican War and the Civil War with the Confederacy in which he was a sergeant.
