About Martha Van Dorn

http://claibornecountyms.org/EarlVanDorn.htm

Earl Van Dorn and Martha Goodbread (abt 1836 - early 1870s) had three children during the years he was stationed in Texas. Family members feel that it is unlikely that his Mississippi family ever knew of the Texas family.

  • A son Percy Van Dorn was born in Texas in 1857;
  • a daughter Lammie Van Dorn in 1858; and
  • a son Douglas Van Dorn in 1860.
