My earliest Banks is Vandiver and wife, Elizabeth Wolford. Martin W. Banks was the youngest of their children, born ca 1810 in Adair Co, KY, I believe. Martin married 2nd wife, Matilda Busby, d/o Matthew Busby and Seluda Tinsley Busby in 1841, Adair Co, KY. First wife, Mary F. Guy had died earlier leaving 4 children, Benjamin, John, Samuel and Elizabeth. Martin and Matilda had only one child, my ggmother, Mary Margaret Banks, born April 15, 1842 in Adair Co. Martin died ca 1843, burial location unknown. One of Martin's brothers named a son Martin which has caused some confusion at times in searching the records. There seems to be some confusion and conflicting information as to how the elder Vandiver's direct ancestor line flows.
