WIVES:

In 1850 Thomas Reese's first wife, Martha M. Kimbrough (13) is living in the Eighth District, Muscogee Co., Georgia in the household of Sarah Kimbrough (60). Sarah has 3 daughters and is presumably a widow.

In 1850 Thomas Reese's second wife, Martha O. Kimbrough (2) is living in the Eighth District, Muscogee Co., Georgia in the household of Archibald Kimbrough (36). Martha is the youngest child.

Presumably the two Marthas are cousins. Their middle names are on the tombstone of their husband Thomas C. Reese.
