Following up on the references listed under Martha LNU Beavers, in order:
The MyHeritage tree lists no sources.
The wiki tree reference specifically states that there are no proper sources for this claimed connection.
The family search reference has no sources and does not list a maiden name for Martha.
The find a grave reference has no sources.
The ancestor.FamilySearch Org. reference does not give Martha’s maiden name.
The US and International Marriage Records 1560 to 1900 is not considered a valid source.
The ancestry.com reference is to a tree where Thomas and Martha begin having children at age 13, and go on to have at least 20 children over the next 40 years. Several of these children have the same name. And Martha marries Thomas at least four times.
The find a grave reference is the same unsourced find a grave reference previously mentioned.
The Thomas Beavers will is a correct primary source document but it does not give Martha's maiden name, nor does it agree with most of the other references. Also, while Thomas Beavers signs by mark, and the transcriber has written his name as “Thomas Beaver,” the will itself lists his name as Thomas Beavers multiple times, his children and brother are surnamed Beavers in the will, every other reference outside the will that I have seen has his name as Thomas Beavers, and in general all other family members list the name as Beavers with an s.
The “Pratt Family of North Carolina and Alabama” references the 1763 deed and Thomas Beavers’ will, but does not state Martha’s maiden name was Cargile,
(Filed under “for what it’s worth”: the National Genealogical Society and many other authorities stress that online trees should not be used as sources or references. If a tree has a reference to a primary source document or document (s) within their records, that (double checked and verified) source may be used, but not the tree itself.)
