Hi Carol. It may have been my request you saw. I am right in the middle of moving. The only thing here at my new house is my computer.....hooked up :)) but no desk. I am in the frog position on the floor typing this. I don't think this is my John MARTIN though. He was married in 1838 so he would be a little older. He was born in Fredericksburg, Maryland...but I can't remember the date offhand. I appreciate you looking it up. He had a son John who was born in Ohio but I believe it was in the 1840's. Thanks, Margaret
