Abt. 1834 in Adair Co. and d. 1865 I believe in Green Co. Ky. or near Green and Adair line. He was shot and killed by a woman whose husband was killed by the vigillandies because he robbed a place. John Martin belonged to the vigillandies and may have possibly been the one who shot him. Does anyone know this story or where I might find information on it. This info is what has been passed down in the family. John married Martha A. (Pasty) Sharp and had two children; Joseph and John Hickman Martin, my ggrandfather. I wonder if John is related someway to the Hartwell Martin line? Thanks for any help on this. Joyce
