Children of Martin Mahaffey and Ella Gilcrease are:
*
*
1. Joel Edward  Mahaffey, born January 31, 1904, and died February 22, 1905, 
burial in Ebenezer Cemetery, Sabine Parish Louisiana.
2. William Marion Mahaffey, he moved to Houston Texas.
This child buried beside Martin and Ella Mahaffey in Ebenezer Cemetery, is undoubtedly a child of this W.M. Mahaffey, which would give us a first name for his spouse.

Infant Daughter of W.M. & Jennette M. Mahaffey - born & died 28 January 1934

These  following children are  buried  beside  Martin,  Ella, and William Mahaffey, making me believe they were infants of this  family, however, Martin and Ella had a son  born  January of  1904,  thus  Dewey born in  March 1904,  could  not  be theirs.   Dewey, who died at age 24, 
is shown to buried with the infant Ester Lee Mahaffey.

Ester Lee Mahaffey   01 April 1903 -  02 February 1907 
Dewey Mahaffey      25 March 1904 -  01 July 1928 
Little Laney Mahaffey    16 September 1907 - 15 October 1907
Glen Mahaffey     1923 - 1929
