Beverly and Bobbie: I sent this earlier but failed to send it to LARAPIDE- Lrootsweb.com. I am responding to both your inquiries. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Beverly: We have one report that the William Martin in our family came from North Carolina. He was born in 1766 and died in 1840. We have no other information on his parentage or on other siblings in his family. Could you provide me with additional information on your Martin group who sons were John, James, Terrell, WILLIAM, and Joseph. > Would these Martins have come to LA and TX from North Carolina? I > have a William Martin whose known sons were John, James Terrell, > William and Joseph. These were in the 1700's I keep our data files on Family Tree Maker. It handles GEDCOM files. My email is [email protected] Also, you can view 'The Martins of Sabine Territory' at: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi- bin/igm.cgi?db=buddybear Bobbie: I've come across Zachariah Martin a number of times, but have been unable to make a connection. The time period would be close to the time of our William Martin. So far I've located three or four Martin familes who settled in the Sabine Territory who may not be related. Shucks! : ) > > I have the book: > > > > Zachariah Martin (II) 1790 - 1873 > > Louisiana and Texas Pioneer > > > > written by Millard F. Martin Sr. > > > > Would this be the same people/????
