Sallye: That's great that you found George Washington Behymer, son of Martin. What is the source for your information? BTW: that shoots down my theory re: Martin b. circa 1818 being Martin, Jr, the son of Martin and Lucinda. Back to the drawing board for me! That doesn't bother me, however, in that it gets us just that much closer to the truth, and this dialogue is exactly what I hoped would occur from my original posting. Regards...
