Debbie, I am enormously grateful for you my genealogy friend!!!!! You share an incredible amount of data! Still working through these Martin families. They have to be collaterals. I see a lot of naming patterns which match, some of the dates. I purchased a copy of " Maryland and Virginia Colonials: Genealogies of Some Colonial Families" by Sharon J. Doliante. It is an excellent resource. I appreciate the recommendation. Anyway, book arrived in yesterday's mail and have not had time to do anything but glance. I tend to get 'the busies' (from Grandma's quotes) in the month of July and things move a little more slowly. I need to check on the Harris lineage more closely and get notes of that to you. OR did I already do that? Off top of my head.....Thomas Harris/Harrison (he used both variously depending on the document) in the mid 1700's married to Jemima Bayliss. More on that later. My mom is a Wolfe.....from Laurens Co, SC....we may have a connection there also? More on that later! Thank you again so very, very much! Your kindness will multiply! Ila

Cathy Do you have any inkling that your Joseph could be descended from THE Joseph Martin via son James? The one who seems to be missing his children?
