Notes:

There is some speculation that Martin Berry Gaddis' father may have been John Lindsey Gaddis based on 
1860 Fannin County, Georgia census records.  Martin's family lived very near the John L. family, who had 
children still at home in Martin's age range for siblings.  Census records also indicate that Martin's 
father was from North Carolina, also where John L. was listed from.

Family rumor was that Martin's father or grandfather was run out of North Carolina for fighting and 
biting off a man's ear.  Supposedly, after Mary Ann Talitha died, he married again, for which his 
children were furious and never forgave him.  I don't have any information on this 2nd wife, but I did 
find a record of another child born to a Martin Berry Gaddis in McDowell County, North Carolina.
(William Herbert Gaddis born 5/28/1885 in McDowell County, North Carolina.  Died 9/1968.)
Mary Ann Talitha Carter had claimed to be related to General Robert E. Lee, but we've not had any 
success yet connecting her as have been unable to verify her ancestry as well.  I speculate that she 
was the child of  Josiah Henry Carter and Jane Pinson, based on census records, as they too lived 
nearby the Gaddis family in 1860.  She may have had a sister named Altha (or Alpha?), who was married 
to T. Justice by the same minister that married Mary Ann, and the 1850 census for Union County, Georgia 
shows those names listed under a Josiah H. Carter's household.

I am trying to find out the true ancestors of Martin Berry Gaddis and Mary Ann Talitha Carter, and 
have hit a brick wall.  Any information would be appreciated.
