My Great Grandmother Dora Lee was born 09-30-1877,
On 08-18-1889 she gave birth to my grandmother
And then married Martin Lodawick Tomlinson on 09-16-1890.
It is hard for me to decipher this. I am looking for my Grandmothers
father, for the one the Mohawk bloodline traveled through.. Actually
my Grandmother, it was said that she was born in 1891, but upon her
passing for some reason my dad had to obtain her birth certificate and
her date of birth on her birth certificate was listed at 1889, which
means she was a year old when my Great Grandmother married Martin
Lodawick Tomlinson.
I don’t know what that means, and how that affects a search. I don’t
know what was standard in that day.. At the age of 12 my great
grandmother gave birth to my grandmother. At the age of 13, my great
grandmother married the one who was said to be our great grandfather..
I find it hard to know if searching through the Tomlinson blood line
would lead me to the Mohawk….
Still, It is very interesting to note that the Tomlinson’s and the
Hunts (my Grandmother and Grandfathers) both of the families are
listed as going to the Okalahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, moving there
from the east.
Here’s a quote from another member of my family who had been doing our
genealogy.

"Dora Lee married Martin Lodawick Tomlinson – Father: Martin M.
Tomlinson (born 04-13-1823 the son of James Tomlinson and Martha
Gannaway), Mother: Betsy Ann Ash (the daughter of Elodewick and
Lucinda Ash) “Elodewick Ash: Born June 9, 1820 in Tennessee. The name
he commonly used and was known by was LODAWICK ASH. Lodawick was an
early settler in Benton County, Arkansas, living on a farm near
Garfield. Very little is know about his parentage, however we know he
had a brother named Daniel Ash, who was also living in Benton County.
Lodawick married at the age of 16 to LUCINDA (parentage unknown) who
was 13 years old – probably in 1836. They were married in Tennessee,
and it appears that they entered Arkansas sometime around 1838 or
1839, according to the birth records of their children. (It is
interesting to note that the Trail of Tears took place during this
same period, and it is highly possible that our ancestor, Elodewick
Ash and his family were part of the historical Journey.)"
