I can't find anything on him about his parents. On a 1880 census it has his parents from Tenn. He was born 3 Dec 1841 died 3 Dec 1927 in Arkansas. He was in the civil war. I have three letters he sent trying to get a pension. I have sent for his civil war military records. I am trying to find his parents. His sons were Thomas W Martin, George Isaac Martin and daughter was Susan A Martin. They were in Ouachita County, Ark in 1880 census. Linda
