Odom Family of Bertie County NCFirst GenerationWilliam W. Odom was born about 1833, and died in 1864 while serving in the Confederate Army (see below). In the 1860 census, he appears with wife Ellinor and daughter Martha J., age 9 months. I haven't found a marriage record.Martha's death certificate does give her mother's maiden name, but it's very difficult to read - Holton? Hallam? or perhaps something else??? I haven't found Ellinor and Martha in 1870. In 1880, they are in Mitchells township, Bertie County, and there are two additional children, John W. age 16 and Lucie A., age 10, who is too young to be William's daughter.
