Summary
Some of my references refer to her as "Mary" as opposed to "Martha" and/or "Ella" instead of "Ellen".
Listed as "Mary E Wilson" on the death certificate of her son, William Walker Echols Sr. (NARA).
Timeline
There is a "E M Wilson" in the 1860 Federal Census, Alabama at the age of 5 in Northern Division, Talladega, Alabama, United States, but born in Georgia.
The death certificate for "Martha E Echols" (NARA) matches the approximate date of birth of 1855 (as implied by the 1860 census) and appears to be the same person. This could indicate that the Death certificate mistakenly listed Alabama as the place of birth. Note that it lists "unknown" for the place of birth for both of Martha's parents, indicating uncertainty about family history.
