Hi, List, I am looking for any information about the families of Giles and John Martin, b. abt. 1825 in England or Scotland, and their daughter Mary Laura, b. 1838 in England, m. Thomas C. Clark in Burlington in 1856. In the 1856 Iowa census, the Martins and two young men named Robert and James Graham, probably Mary's cousins, were living in Burlington. The Graham boys are listed as born in New York, though I believe the Martin and Graham families both came from the border counties of Scotland/England. In addition, I am trying to pin down the relationship between Thomas and James Clarke, b. PA in 1812, founder of the Burlington Gazette and 3rd territorial governor of Iowa. James, his wife Christiana Dodge, and their son all died in a cholera epidemic in 1846. Barbara Archer
