This information is by Mrs. Agnes Moore, daughter of Mary Belle, and taken from Sarah Ann Lucus (her and my Grandmother) records of her family. Agnes and her Mother lived with our Grandparents while Agnes and I were both in High School.

[I have added the following]
Mary Belle Lucas
Children (out of wed Lock)
1. Agnes Lucas (Moore) Father’s last name Miles (see Judy’s e-mail) [was Martha’s Mother]
Married ? Webb
2. Charles Webb [was Martha’s Uncle]

Remember Martha’s writing about her uncle Charlie:
Grandparents
I was named for my grandmothers. Martha was my father’s mother. She died when he was about 13 years old. Belle was my mother’s mother. My mother had a half brother a couple of years older than me. (His name was Charlie.) He was more like a brother to me than an uncle. We played cowboys and Indians as children. Read and discussed the same books and movies. Attended BYPU [Baptist Youth something] together & had charge of many of its activities. I stayed with my grandmother when we all worked at the corn canning factory. He (Charlie) never got to collage for financial reasons – his father died when he was in high school. He married the woman who was my college room mate when I was a freshman at Normal (now the Univ Ill ). I’m the one who broke up the close relationship by marrying a Colorado man and moving to the Colorado dust bowl.
