Martha married Silas W. Berry, son of James W. Berry and Margaret Creek, est 1847 in , Platte, Missouri, USA.⁵ (Silas W. Berry was born in 1810 in , Madison, Kentucky, USA ³ and died in Jan 1877 in MO? ^{6 7}.)

  Marriage Notes:

No marriage information available: Eli Berry was born 8 years before Garrett, so it would seem Silas' first wife died during that period. In 1850 census, Martha Elizabeth is the new wife, son Garrett age 1, so it would appear Martha is the mother of Garrett and subsequent children for Silas.
