MARTIN William 265    Males: 1(5-10) 1(10-15) 2(15-20) 1(40-50)                                 Females: 1(5-10)    2(15-20) 2(40-50) Well this one is an Uncle to my Hix Martin if this helps you out any at all. Gail This does help! Can you tell me which other Martin's belong to you in Forsyth County? I am trying to sort through the Martin's in that county so I can hopefully sort out which Martin's may be mine. I spend so much time researching these other Martin's to rule them out as relatives when the time would be better spent researching my own lines. I would just like to know who they are and where they came from, and where they went so when I see their names, I know who they are. It is very hard when you don't have a lot of information on your family line and very common names (like my William Martin) and no known other family ties in the area. I don't live in GA: I live on the West coast so that makes it difficult, as well. I was thinking about posting on a website a list of the Martin lines in and around Forsyth County so anyone researching would be able to spend more time on their lines rather than sorting through all the Martin's. Sort of like a census: families that know who is living in the home in the 1840 census (or their best educated guess) could list the family members names and where they may be placed in the age category. Also, where the family migrated from, where they went, and other relatives in the area. Not their entire family history, just enough so one would know if this is the family they are searching for. It would save so much energy and time. Thank you for replying. It is greatly appreciated. Ellen
