You know, I think we're getting the Martins families confused here. I refer to the James Martin (b. 1756) that was the father of Tobitha (b. 1793 GA) who married Jesse Geiger. I know that Felix Geiger (b. 1763) married Mary Martin and I presume that's who y'all are discussing. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Bullock <reb1@home.com> To: GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com <GEIGER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, January 15, 1999 4:43 PM Subject: [GEIGER-L] James, John Martins >Joan; > From my Martin book by Elam Martin , Dayton Beach. > James Martin(thought to be ggrandfather of Enanuel) of Bartholomew's >Parish in Colleton county, S.C. died about 1746(will of James Martin >1746).
