Martha C. Woodside

Martha C. Woodside was born May 23, 1817 in Kentucky, the 9th child of Robert H. and Ann (Hill) Woodside. On July 3, 1848 she married Joseph G. McKee in Perry County, Illinois. Joseph G. McKee, son of Alexander McKee, was born in Ireland about 1807.

Martha and Joseph McKee had one child:

• Robert W. - born 1855 in Randolph County, Illinois; died between 1920-1930. Robert married Ella Ida Jones on December 23, 1890 in Perry County, Illinois, and had 5 children: Martha A., Robert Earl, Ivan J., Leona, and Pearl.
  

Martha died sometime after 1882. Joseph died February 11, 1884 in Sparta, Randolph County, Illinois.

Joseph G. McKee was married before, but his first wife's name is unknown. This first marriage produced 3 known children:

• Mary Jane - born about 1838 in Illinois, died 1883 in Hopkins County, Texas; married Ananias J. Booth August 10, 1858 in Randolph County, Illinois.
• George D. - born about 1839 and died January 16, 1870 in Illinois. He married Mary Jane Anderson on March 17, 1868 in Perry County.
  
• Joseph A. - born about 1843 and died February 15, 1863 in Illinois.
  

(NOTE: This is a correction to what I previously had written. I had listed the above 3 children as Martha's, which obviously was incorrect since she did not marry Joseph until 1848. Many thanks to Pamela Treme for bringing this to my attention.)

If anyone has more information on this family I would appreciate hearing from you.
