Martha applied for a widow’s pension in 3 Dec 1884

From Robert D. Ollom, Martha’s Grandson and the son of Franklin:
I don't know if my grandmother and the three boys came to Cleveland together or if only my dad and Uncle Ross came, but my family lived in Cleveland. Uncle Ross and his family lived in Parma, Oh., a suburb of Cleveland.

According to the 1880 Census, Martha was born in Ohio and so was her Father but her mother was born in West Virginia. Of course that, at the time, would have been Virginia. Additionally, there is a family named Seale living nearby that must be considered as a possible relative.
