Still looking for ukn mother, ESTES who married ukn father, MARTIN, probably m. in OH or IL. Known children of this marriage Thomas R. (Richard?) b. 2/18/1875 IA, Sarah Irene (Martin) Gates b. 3/27/1880 IA, Mattie/Marjorie/Margaret/Martha (Martin) Margrave b. 1869-70 Sigourney, IA. Thomas moved to WY. Sarah moved to ID and then CA. Mattie moved to ND, MT,OR. (and poss a few places in-between). I have reason to believe there were more siblings and at least one other brother named Elmer/Edward. Someones got to have these people in thier line. Myrna Clarke

I've got around half a dozen Mr Martin- Ms Estes marriages around that time, all of them in MO. Most of which I have no children for. Any chance your family was from MO? The census should say what state Thomas' parents were born (or whichever sibling you are descended from). > I have reason to believe there were more siblings and at least one > other brother named Elmer/Edward. You mean kids of Mr Martin and Ms Estes? cheers, David. -- The universe is not only queerer that we imagine, it is queerer than we *can* imagine - J. B. S. Haldane DC2.D A+++! L^ Pfwl Bfl Fo R+++!
