    Notes:

    Martha Ellington Motley
    Gave up her life for her country
    Martha was the wife of Captain Joseph Motley of Amelia and Pittsylvania Counties, Virginia, and was murdered during the Revolution. She refused to divulge to a Tory raiding party the hiding place of supplies which Captain Motley had for the Continental Army, or the whereabouts of her husband.

    Martha was alone in the "Old Place" except for servants and the little children at home. She was recuperating in bed from the recent birth of her eleventh child, Elizabeth. She was served by Rachel, a very extraordinary servant who is purported to have been an African Princess. This servant was kidnapped from the rice fields of her homeland by slave traders. The record also states that she spoke a different language from the other servants and wore beautiful flowers tattooed on her breasts. This servant later raised the children who were left orphaned when Martha was murdered.

    Present that fateful day were four little girls, daughters of Martha and Joseph. Obedience was eight, Prudence was six, Sally was four and Delilah was two. They were under foot when the party of men on horseback arrived at the front gate to be greeted by Rachel. The spokesman of the group asked to see Captain Motley. When told he was not at home, they demanded to talk to Mrs Motley. Although informed by Rachel that Mrs Motley was ill in bed and could not be disturbed, on the insistence of one of the men, the servant allowed them into the house. Later Rachel disclosed that she recognized one of the men as a neighbor of the Motleys. The party of men hurried past Rachel and the little girls and barged up the stairs to Martha's room. In the excitement of a child's fancy, Obedience ran to see what this was all about, and was present when the neighbor and 'friend' demanded to know where her father and brothers were and where the provisions were kept. She heard her mother refuse to give them any information and saw them take the arm of her mother and (despite Martha's struggles and cries) pierce her arm with a knife and leave her faint and unconscious.

    Of the little girls there that day, the baby-in-arms, Elizabeth, lived to adulthood and married Floyd Tanner. Delilah married Benjamin Terry; Sally married Francis Anderson; Prudence married Joshua Stone. They all lived in Pittsylvania County. Obedience married John Morehead of Rockingham County, North Carolina in 1790.
