Thank you so much for the information on the Martins. My family, that of William (Jasper) Martin left and went to Covington Co, AL in 1854. I do not know what happened to Joseph's family. In looking at the names in William Jasper Martin's household and those of Joseph (71-VA) it looks like maybe Joseph MIGHT be father to William Jasper Martin. I have been unable to locate either family before 1850. Again, thank you for your efforts~! Marj
